On February 10th, 2026 the core GATE Research team, Julia Priess Buchheit, Anika Müller-Karabil and Marie Alavi gathered with the experts Daniel Mietchen (FIZ Karlsruhe) and Tim Errington (Center for Open Science) to discuss the goals and concept of the upcoming GATE Report. 


Moving from conceptual grounding to concrete synthesis
While the first meeting established how GATE data can be understood, modelled, and responsibly analysed, the second meeting focuses on what the first GATE Report 2025 will look like and how it will work in practice.

The GATE Reports will be published annually and inform Open Science experts and practicioners as well as the wider community on the current developments and main guiding thoughts of Open Science. Building on the methodological insights from the first meeting (dialogical data, bottom-up perspectives, knowledge graphs, audience-centric modelling), the second meeting focuses on:

  • Presenting the draft concept of the first GATE Report 2025 as a living, community service,  highlighting the role of GATE as a continuous learning and observation process (not an evaluation or ranking tool), supporting the Open Science research ecosystem with transparent, cooperative, and non-profit infrastructure rather than producing a one-off report and bridging Open Science with societally relevant themes (e.g. trust in science, research security, competitiveness, AI): Min. 0:00-0:10 
  • Recap the experts' recommendations from the first meeting and highlighting GATE audience's expectations to the GATE Report: Min. 0:10--0:21
  • Inform about the dialogical GATE data (data stemming from the GATE Service, workshops, and expert exchanges) and how it can be translated into easy understandable report informing bout what the community tells us about Open Science: Min. 0:21--0:33 


👉 The first meeting asked, “How can we work with this kind of data?”

👉 The second meeting asks, “How do we turn this into a meaningful, usable GATE Report for society, policy, and the research community?”
