Open Innovation in Science Center

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Open Innovation in Science (OIS) Center of the Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft (LBG), this Fieldbook aims to support the practical application of OIS principles in everyday research practice. It provides concrete examples, teaching and learning resources, as well as methods and insights on for engaging society and involving communities in participatory research. The Fieldbook emphasizes inclusive approaches to transdisciplinary innovation and highlights the importance of integrating artistic and creative dimensions of knowledge exchange alongside user-generated content. By offering hands-on examples, methodological guidance, historical context, and a repository of projects and frameworks, this volume seeks to make OIS both accessible and actionable in scholarly work. It is designed to help researchers to embed OIS into their scientific practice and to contribute to the training of future experts in the field.
