The LBG OIS Center
The Open Innovation in Science Center of the Ludwig Boltzmann Society (LBG OIS Center) was founded in 2016 with funds from the Austrian National Foundation for Research, Technology and Development and sees itself as an essential part of Austria’s official Open Innovation strategy.
The OIS Center acts as an (inter-)national hub for researching and implementing open and collaborative practices in scientific research (OIS activities).
The LBG OIS Center supports OIS activities involving citizens and interest groups (e.g. patients and patient representatives, practitioners such as representatives of associations, public administration, health or educational institutions, NPOs/NGOs) through advice, funding, materials, tools, infrastructure as well as further training and networking.
