Civic Education in Estonia: Democratic or Authoritarian
Creators: name: Haav, Karel
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2008
Subjects: Main social actors and structures in democracy; democratic and authoritarian civic education; authoritarianism in Estonia

description: The paper distinguishes between traditional formal and social theoretical concepts in education for democracy. On this basis, both Estonian and EU civic education systems are critically analysed. In both cases, the political literacy is not covered with adequate social theoretical concepts. Traditionally, there is a formal description of main political institutions outside of real social relations. Many social scholars have revealed that such an education but contributes to reproduction of the existing social structures. The Author develops a social theoretical approach to democracy and civic education. It relies on main social dichotomies like that of social actors and social structures, and institutional organization theory. It defines main social actors and models of decision making in main social spheres (economy, politics and education). These concepts are linked to social values (individual freedom and prosperity or social equality, solidarity and well-being) and social outcomes (effectiveness and justice). The author also uses these concepts to describe and analyze his students’ democratic knowledge, attitudes and experiences. An integration of social theoretical concepts and practices enables to achieve the ideal goals of democracy education. The paper also critically evaluates the existing civic education system (syllabus, textbooks and national examinations) in Estonia. The system focuses on delivery of some arbitrary texts. In schools with Russian instruction, the authoritarian Estonian civic education strengthens the authoritarian national attitudes of Russian students. As a result, it counteracts to the national integration of Russian students with the Estonian state.

description: The intense historical transformations in Portugal during the last 30 years have had a profound impact on the educational system and on its role in citizenship education. During this period, Portugal experienced dictatorship, the last socialist revolution in Europe (1974), the end of colonial empire and of colonial wars, the stabilization of a democratic regime and the entrance in the European Economic Community later to be trans-formed into the European Union. Such deep social and political transformation had strong implications in education and its mission in promoting democratic citizenship has been intensively discussed, with fears of ideological inculcation and a tension between conservative vs. emancipatory goals underpinning the curricular decisions in the field. This paper considers these transformations and articulates them with the perspective of adolescents in basic and secondary education regarding citizenship, politics and civic engagement and the actual opportunities for participation they feel they have in the family, the school, and the community. The bases for this discussion are two studies with Portuguese adolescents: the IEA Civic Education Study that involves three national representative samples of students from grade 8, 9 and 11; and a longitudinal study (2005-07) with adolescents from grades 9, 10 and 11. Results from both studies show a tendency for a dissatisfaction/distrust that young people have in relation to key-institutions of democracy (government, political parties) but, at the same time, the valuing of active citizenship and the emergence of new forms of participation. That oxymoron appears as a challenge to both researchers and teachers that might take advantage in being more aware of the quality of youngsters’ participation experiences in their various life contexts.

"Still Underexposed"? – Some Remarks On The Problematic Relationship Between Visual Communication, Political Science, and Civic Education
Creators: name: Drechsel, Benjamin
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2009
Subjects: Visual communication; political communication; iconic turn; pictoriality; visual history; political science; civic education; visual competence

description: Political science in the German-speaking world is only concerned peripherally with pictures. In the course of the “iconic turn” during the 1990s visual political communication became an issue of more weight, but other disciplines like art history still have more competence when it comes to analysing pictures. Thus, the basic question remains: How can we achieve a sustainable “iconic turn” in political science and civic education? The article proposes an answer in three parts: Its first chapter describes the relationship between political science, civic education, and visual communication in the German-speaking world. The effort to map this scattered research landscape ought to be a contribution to its transnational connectivity. The second part reflects on the special “power of pictures”. It argues that pictures probably have specific persuasive power, but nonetheless are neutral political tools (just like words). Obviously they can be exploited by liars, but quite as well they can serve as helpful information resources (e.g. in civic education). Finally, the third chapter claims that political science should try and learn from visually more competent disciplines like art history or communication science. All in all this leads to the final conclusion that political communication research should turn its attention to pictoriality.

description: We investigate the effect of external pressure on magnetic order in undoped LnFeAsO (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, La) by using muon-spin relaxation measurements and ab-initio calculations. Both magnetic transition temperature $T_m$ and Fe magnetic moment decrease with external pressure. The effect is observed to be lanthanide dependent with the strongest response for Ln = La and the weakest for Ln = Sm. The trend is qualitatively in agreement with our DFT calculations. The same calculations allow us to assign a value of 0.68(2) $μ_B$ to the Fe moment, obtained from an accurate determination of the muon sites. Our data further show that the magnetic lanthanide order transitions do not follow the simple trend of Fe, possibly as a consequence of the different $f$-electron overlap.

Election Media and Youth Political Engagement

Subjects: US election campaign net campaign; new media; social media; digital communications technology; election communication; young voter turnout; youth participation; political organisation

description: Election campaigns are regular opportunities for heightened political engagement and socialization. For many young people, politics becomes most visible and concrete during electoral contests. However, campaign media, at least in the United States, typically have not targeted young voters with messages that enhance their participation and turnout. In fact, much traditional election media coverage of youth has emphasized their lack of interest and involvement, and thus works to discourage the development of activist political orientations. With the evolution of new types of dynamic and populist media formats, such as blogs and social/political networking websites, young people have greater opportunities to establish a presence in election campaigns on their own terms. This piece will explore how new developments in campaign media are changing the relationship of young people to the electoral process.

description: We present high-precision time-series photometry of the classical delta Scuti star HD 144277 obtained with the MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars) satellite in two consecutive years. The observed regular frequency patterns are investigated asteroseismologically. HD 144277 is a hot A-type star that is located on the blue border of the classical instability strip. While we mostly observe low radial order modes in classical delta Scuti stars, HD 144277 presents a different case. Its high observed frequencies, i.e., between 59.9c/d (693.9 microHz) and 71.1c/d (822.8microHz), suggest higher radial orders. We examine the progression of the regular frequency spacings from the low radial order to the asymptotic frequency region. Frequency analysis was performed using Period04 and SigSpec. The results from the MOST observing runs in 2009 and 2010 were compared to each other. The resulting frequencies were submitted to asteroseismic analysis. HD 144277 was discovered to be a delta Scuti star using the time-series photometry observed by the MOST satellite. Twelve independent pulsation frequencies lying in four distinct groups were identified. Two additional frequencies were found to be combination frequencies. The typical spacing of 3.6c/d corresponds to the spacing between subsequent radial and dipole modes, therefore the spacing between radial modes is twice this value, 7.2c/d. Based on the assumption of slow rotation, we find evidence that the two radial modes are the sixth and seventh overtones, and the frequency with the highest amplitude can be identified as a dipole mode. The models required to fit the observed instability range need slightly less metallicity and a moderate enhancement of the helium abundance compared to the standard chemical composition. Our asteroseismic models suggest that HD 144277 is a delta Scuti star close to the ZAMS with a mass of 1.66 solar masses.

description: This paper presents an innovative machine learning methodology that leverages on long-term vibroacoustic measurements to perform automated predictions of the needed pigging operations in crude oil trunk lines. Historical pressure signals have been collected by Eni (e-vpms® monitoring system) for two years on discrete points at a relative distance of 30-35 km along an oil pipeline (100 km length, 16” ID diameter pipes) located in Northern Italy. In order to speed up the activity and to check the operation logs, a tool has been implemented to automatically highlight the historical pig operations performed on the line. Such a tool is capable of detecting, in the observed pressure measurements, the acoustic noise generated by the travelling pig. All the data sets have been reanalyzed and exploited by using field data validations to guide a decision tree regressor (DTR). Several statistical indicators, computed from pressure head loss between line segments, are fed to the DTR, which automatically outputs probability values indicating the possible need for pigging the pipeline. The procedure is applied to the vibroacoustic signals of each pair of consecutive monitoring stations, such that the proposed predictive maintenance strategy is capable of tracking the conditions of individual pipeline sections, thus determining which portion of the conduit is subject to the highest occlusion levels in order to optimize the clean-up operations. Prediction accuracy is assessed by evaluating the typical metrics used in statistical analysis of regression problems, such as the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).
Escaping the Disenchantment Trap: The Effects of a Tailored Campaign on Motivation and Participation of Young German Voters

Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld

Subjects: Youth participation; young voters turnout; first-time voters campaign; civic education; experimental case study; political knowledge; political interest; political behaviour

description: Youth surveys permanently prove a general disenchantment with politics and politicians, leading to a decrease in participation and, as a consequence, a drop in voter turnout. Threatening the foundations of our democratic society, it is assumed that one way to get out of this vicious circle can be to enhance motivation and self-efficacy among young adults. This study looks at the potential of tailored campaigns that make politics visible for first-time voters, in order to increase their knowledge about current affairs, interest in political issues, and, subsequently, the willingness to vote. On occasion of the elections held for both the State and the European parliament in 2004, effects of a specially designed campaign were tested in a quasi-experimental design. 128 students of different high schools and vocational schools in the German state Thuringia obtained a 90-minute course unit on the election’s background, including a major part that required the visualization of politics in a wall newspaper. Results indicate that a singular intervention is not able to counteract disenchantment with politics in general, but to raise short-term intentions to go to the polls.

Pleasure and Politics. Making Youth-Cultural Commitment Visible

Subjects: Youth culture; individualisation; distinction; style; youth cultural participation; work; politics; resistance; pleasure; new political commitment; self-professionalisation; self-education; self-socialisation

description: Youth and politics as well as pleasure and politics are often seen as bad matches. Accordingly, today’s youth is diagnosed as generally indifferent towards politics. We suggest, that politics in youth cultures can only be made visible by looking at it from a different angle: from the perspective of reconcilability between work, politics and pleasure. This article provides and discusses a theoretical framework for the analysis of the connections between them in youth cultural contexts. Increasing medialisation and globalisation make cultural symbols accessible to almost everyone. This results in a “devaluation” of style as a marker of distinction and self-positioning. We argue that this devaluation of style causes a shift of focus onto ostensibly non-stylistic aspects in youth cultures – i.e. onto commitment, work or politics. Youth cultures can therefore be viewed as contexts in which self-professionalisation, self-education and self-socialisation take place. Even though within the field of youth culture research, youth-cultural activities are therefore no longer considered to be merely recreational activities or pastimes, youth cultural participation still means the pleasure of sharing certain cultural activities and, beyond this, the pleasure of resistance. We suggest that understanding the – in some ways unexpected und partly still unexplored – connections young people establish between work, politics and pleasure provides insight into new forms of their political commitment.

description: We report far-infrared and submillimeter observations of Supernova 1987A, the star that exploded on February 23, 1987 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy located 160,000 lightyears away. The observations reveal the presence of a population of cold dust grains radiating with a temperature of ~17-23 K at a rate of about 220 solar luminosity. The intensity and spectral energy distribution of the emission suggests a dust mass of ~0.4-0.7 solar mass. The radiation must originate from the SN ejecta and requires the efficient precipitation of all refractory material into dust. Our observations imply that supernovae can produce the large dust masses detected in young galaxies at very high redshifts.

description: The use of attitude measurements to identify Canadian business starters is investigated. Three different attitude measurement instruments were utilized: the Entrepreneurial Attitude Orientation scale (EAO), the Personal Involvement Inventory (PII), and the Action-Desirability Inventory (ADI). The instruments were distributed through the mail to clients of a new venture assistance program, owners and employees of a local business incubator, recent graduates of an owner/manager transitions program, and MBA alumni. Of the 266 surveys returned 160 met the criteria for being included in this study. Discriminant analyses were done using 1) the EAO subscales alone, 2) the PII scores alone, 3) the ADI scores alone, and 4) all three together. The task of the analyses was to maximally discriminate between four groups: Starter Managers, Starter Non-managers, Nonstarter Managers, and Non-starter Non-managers. Pillais' F (s=3, m=2, n=59.5) for the four hypothesis were, respectively, 2.65 (p<.002), 8.88 (p<.001), 7.69 (p<.001), and 3.04 (p<.001), which indicates that all the discriminant functions were statistically significant. The classification functions for the four hypotheses were also tested. It was found that the overall hit rates (number of correct group assignments over the actual number of individuals in the group times 100) for the four analysis were, respectively, 35.2%, 49.0 %, 45.9%, and 56.8%, which is better than chance alone would predict (25%). It is concluded that attitude measurements are a valid means of identifying business starters. Implications for future research are discussed.
The Visual Potential of History. Images of the Past in Film, Television and Computer Game

description: In a famous quote Marx said: “Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.” Today one would like to add, that film, television and computer games alter the historic event through modern visualizations of the past. Not only the historic facts and personages appear more than once, but also the representation of history multiplies itself in visual reconstructions, re-enactments and simulations in the media. What happens to history and its epistemology when it becomes an audiovisual experience? What are the different visual modes of knowledge production in historiography? Which uses of history become part of popular media culture? These questions are the starting point for an analysis of current examples of 'histotainment' and theoretical considerations about popular historiography.

description: The role of politics in the life of adolescents is a topic intensely discussed in different fields of academia – usually claiming a lack of interest in political issues among youth. State-of-the-art research is shifting to assessing the role of entertaining media content in this process reflect­ing on the changing depictions of the political along the lines of infotainment and political en­ter­tainment. This article focuses on the latter and discusses the question, how elements of politics are or could be displayed in entertaining, narrative formats, and how this could affect knowledge, attitudes and behavior. The line of argumentation is based on the conceptual­ization of Entertainment-Education (EE) as a form of strategic communication. EE describes the intentional design and implementation of a media message into entertaining narrative content based on social cognitive theory and the assumption of vicarious learning by observ­ing role modeled behavior. The article discusses findings from EE interventions outside politics and links them to the issue of youth and politics.

description: Precise infrared magnetotransmission experiments have been performed in magnetic fields up to 32 T on a series of multilayer epitaxial graphene samples. We observe changes in the spectral features and broadening of the main cyclotron transition when the incoming photon energy is in resonance with the lowest Landau level separation and the energy of a K point optical phonon. We have developed a theory that explains and quantitatively reproduces the frequency and magnetic field dependence of the phenomenon as the absorption of a photon together with the simultaneous creation of an intervalley, intra-Landau-level exciton, and a K phonon.

Children’s Television as a Medium for Social Orientation? – An Approach in the Perspective of Children’s Use of Television

Subjects: Social orientation; integration; lifestyle; television use; children’s television programmes; medial reality; identity; media education

description: The development of individualism, distinction and pluralism has not simply slipped by the every-day life of children and youth. Today they are moreover understood as humans, who take an active role in their social life. On the threshold from being a child to becoming an adolescent, children find themselves in a state of radical change, during this process they look out for possibilities of orientation. Accordingly questions of orientation are no longer mainly/principally asked within a personal environment, but increasingly outwards; for example towards the media. Television is still today the main form of media and presents an attractive source of orientation from which the youth today summon up their symbolic materials for their structuring of life. Adults to whom the children relate most closely and educationalists have their own opinion of what is important regarding the social orientation of the children. However which subjects of social orientation interest today’s youth? This question follows the existing work related to the background of the living situation. Which programmes are they viewing and which subjects of social orientation are in their favourites?

description: We demonstrate here a proof-of-concept experiment that microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) can be actuated using photoelectrowetting. In order to demonstrate this, a 30 μm thick aluminum cantilever is actuated using an ordinary white light source. A deflection of 56 μm is observed using a light irradiance equal to \approx 1000 W m-2 at a bias of 7 V. The deflection of the cantilever relies on the recently observed photoelectrowetting effect [Sci. Rep.1, 184 (2011)]. Such "actuation at a distance" could be useful for optical addressing and control of autonomous wireless sensors, MEMS and microsystems.

description: Impudent, disrespectful and packed with slapstick comedy – this is the most prominent and most controversial cartoon family in TV history: The Simpsons. Critics complain about the decay of manners and the offensive humor of the show. There is considerable potential for civic education in the yellow universe of The Simpsons, however. On the basis of three Simpsons-episodes this article analyzes the depiction of elections and electoral races in a media democracy. This analysis aims at extracting critical positions from the satiric presentation of debates, media events and political rhetoric and connecting them to real campaigns in Germany and the USA. The examples are supposed to illustrate that The Simpsons do provide critical access to understanding campaigns in media societies – despite all satiric exaggeration of real events. Furthermore, the article shows that the series does not only comment critically on almost any event of social relevance, but also, more importantly, how we can make these comments work in civic education.

Bin Completion Algorithms for Multicontainer Packing, Knapsack, and Covering Problems

description: Many combinatorial optimization problems such as the bin packing and multiple knapsack problems involve assigning a set of discrete objects to multiple containers. These problems can be used to model task and resource allocation problems in multi-agent systems and distributed systms, and can also be found as subproblems of scheduling problems. We propose bin completion, a branch-and-bound strategy for one-dimensional, multicontainer packing problems. Bin completion combines a bin-oriented search space with a powerful dominance criterion that enables us to prune much of the space. The performance of the basic bin completion framework can be enhanced by using a number of extensions, including nogood-based pruning techniques that allow further exploitation of the dominance criterion. Bin completion is applied to four problems: multiple knapsack, bin covering, min-cost covering, and bin packing. We show that our bin completion algorithms yield new, state-of-the-art results for the multiple knapsack, bin covering, and min-cost covering problems, outperforming previous algorithms by several orders of magnitude with respect to runtime on some classes of hard, random problem instances. For the bin packing problem, we demonstrate significant improvements compared to most previous results, but show that bin completion is not competitive with current state-of-the-art cutting-stock based approaches.

description: Web 2.0 is one of the later innovations in Internet-related developments. The term expresses less a new piece of technology but more new ways of using the Net; weblogs and social networks like myspace are among the most prominent examples of Web 2.0. Its catchphrase may be: you control your own data. Web 2.0 gimmicks bear new possibilities for young people, which are the heaviest users of the Internet, not only to get political information, but also to show and share their views and opinions. It also gives politicians a way of presenting themselves without any interference. In both ways it can contribute to a process of making politics visible. Besides assessing some data about political Internet usage the article tries to show some opportunities as well as problems related to making politics visible in Web 2.0.

description: Meetings often suffer from a lack of intentionality, such as unclear goals and straying off-topic. Identifying goals and maintaining their clarity throughout a meeting is challenging, as discussions and uncertainties evolve. Yet meeting technologies predominantly fail to support meeting intentionality. AI-assisted reflection is a promising approach. To explore this, we conducted a technology probe study with 15 knowledge workers, integrating their real meeting data into two AI-assisted reflection probes: a passive and active design. Participants identified goal clarification as a foundational aspect of reflection. Goal clarity enabled people to assess when their meetings were off-track and reprioritize accordingly. Passive AI intervention helped participants maintain focus through non-intrusive feedback, while active AI intervention, though effective at triggering immediate reflection and action, risked disrupting the conversation flow. We identify three key design dimensions for AI-assisted reflection systems, and provide insights into design trade-offs, emphasizing the need to adapt intervention intensity and timing, balance democratic input with efficiency, and offer user control to foster intentional, goal-oriented behavior during meetings and beyond.

description: Routing is a challenging problem in today's circuit system design. ULSI, MCM and PCB are requiring over a hundred thousand interconnections within several tens of routing layers. Sluggish and memory devouring routing programs cannot fulfill these up-to-date design requirements. On the other hand, the performance of advanced circuit systems is directly related to the scheme of circuit interconnections. Therefore, routing without careful examination of circuit performance requirements results in low quality circuit systems. In this thesis, a Highly-Efficient Routing Algorithm(HERA) for general, large-scale multi-layer routing is presented. Its efficiency is based on an effectively organized data structure, optimized Steiner tree construction and an efficient obstacle-searching algorithm. Experimental results show that HERA outperforms all well-known routing algorithms in terms of execution time and routing quality. It runs over a hundred times faster than V 4R on big industrial routing benchmarks. HERA also produces uniformly distributed interconnections of shorter wiring length.

description: Im Arbeitspapier „Stand der Kulturgutdigitalisierung in Deutschland“ (DARIAH-DE Stakeholdergremium „Wissenschaftliche Sammlungen“, 2018) wurde festgestellt, dass „die derzeitige fast ausschließliche Fokussierung auf die Erstellung von digitalen Repräsentationen von analogem Material nur ein Beginn einer umfassenderen, auf dezidierten Anforderungen der wissenschaftlichen Communitys basierenden Digitalisierungsstrategie sein kann“ und dass die „Digitalisierung des Kulturgutes in Deutschland erst ganz am Anfang“ stehe. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass die digitalen Geisteswissenschaften in der Gedächtnisorganisation „Museum“ noch nicht zu einem selbstverständlichen Teil des Forschungsalltags geworden sind. Die orientalistischen Disziplinen in ihrer traditionellen Vielfalt von Sprachwissenschaften und archäologischen Disziplinen stehen so vor einer großen Herausforderung, denn gleichzeitig ist die Digitalisierung in der Gedächtnisorganisation „Bibliothek“ deutlich weiter vorangeschritten. Den kollaborativen Anstrengungen in Universitäten, Museen und anderen Forschungseinrichtungen werden durch diese fehlende Proportionalität Grenzen gesetzt, die im Interesse der inter- und transdisziplinären Anforderungen orientalistischer Fächer so bald wie möglich zu überwinden sind. Aus der Sicht der aktuellen Forschungsumgebung in der Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz mit ihren musealen Sammlungen in enger Nachbarschaft zu Archiv- und Bibliotheksbeständen werden einige Schwerpunkte der Forschung und ihrer Methodik betrachtet, bei denen digitale Geisteswissenschaften wichtige Impulse geben können und mit denen die weitere Digitalisierung der Museumsbestände vorangetrieben wird.

description: The MESSENGER spacecraft conducted its first flyby of Mercury on 14th January 2008, followed by two subsequent encounters on 6th October 2008 and 29th September 2009, prior to Mercury orbit insertion on 18th March 2011. We have reviewed MESSENGER flight telemetry and X-ray Spectrometer observations from the first two encounters, and correlate several prominent features in the data with the presence of astrophysical X-ray sources in the instrument field of view. We find that two X-ray peaks attributed in earlier work to the detection of suprathermal electrons from the Mercury magnetosphere, are likely to contain a significant number of events that are of astrophysical origin. The intensities of these two peaks cannot be explained entirely on the basis of astrophysical sources, and we support the previous suprathermal explanation but suggest that the electron fluxes derived in those studies be revised to correct for a significant astrophysical signal.

description: We demonstrate feed-forward vibration isolation on a suspended Fabry-Perot interferometer using Wiener filtering and a variant of the common Least Mean Square (LMS) adaptive filter algorithm. We compare the experimental results with theoretical estimates of the cancellation efficiency. Using data from the recent LIGO Science Run, we also estimate the impact of this technique on full scale gravitational wave interferometers. In the future, we expect to use this technique to also remove acoustic, magnetic, and gravitational noise perturbations from the LIGO interferometers. This noise cancellation technique is simple enough to implement in standard laboratory environments and can be used to improve SNR for a variety of high precision experiments.

Coming of Age at Bullworth Academy: Bully and Narratives of Youth Violence

description: The 1999 rampage at Columbine High School, and the high-profile school shootings that preceded it, dramatically heightened pre-existing cultural anxieties about the consumption of violent media in childhood. In particular, videogames received unprecedented public scrutiny, and even now the spectre of Columbine continues to hang over any discussion of violent videogames. When Rockstar Games, developer of the ultraviolent Grand Theft Auto series, announced Bully, a similarly styled game that would take place in a school, controversy predictably ensued. Rockstar made no effort to dispel this controversy, and might have actually encouraged it, but the game itself bears little relation to an archetypal school shooting. As a text, Bully represents a much different narrative of adolescence, one that questions the morality of adult institutions and problematizes the very idea of “growing up.” This essay compares and contrasts Bully with other narratives of youth violence, ranging from the popularly accepted telling of the Columbine shootings to William Golding’s Lord of the Flies.

description: The aim of this article is to prove a representation theorem for orthogonally additive polynomials in the spirit of the recent theorem on representation of orthogonally additive polynomials on Banach lattices but for the setting of Riesz spaces. To this purpose the notion of $p$--orthosymmetric multilinear form is introduced and it is shown to be equivalent to the orthogonally additive property of the corresponding polynomial. Then the space of positive orthogonally additive polynomials on an Archimedean Riesz space taking values on an uniformly complete Archimedean Riesz space is shown to be isomorphic to the space of positive linear forms on the $n$-power in the sense of Boulabiar and Buskes of the original Riesz space.

Erklärung

description: Die SPK fördert den kulturellen Wandel in der wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsweise und Kommunikation. Für mehr Transparenz und Qualität in der Wissenschaft und eine breitere Teilhabe. Im November 2013 hat die Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz die Berliner Erklärung zur Förderung von Open Access unterzeichnet sowie im April 2016 die diese bekräftigende Note Forschungsdaten uneingeschränkt und zitierfähig publizieren. Ziel dieser beiden Positionspapiere ist die Beförderung von Open Access. Auch mit der Verabschiedung des Digitalen Manifests 2018 hat die SPK eine klare und bejahende Haltung zum Open-Access-Gedanken eingenommen. Mit der Verabschiedung ihrer Open-Science-Erklärung im November 2021 bestärkt und erweitert die SPK ihr Bekenntnis zu den Prinzipien von Open Science – also dem offenen, durch möglichst wenige finanzielle, technische und rechtliche Hürden behinderten Zugang zu Publikationen, Forschungs- und Kulturdaten, wissenschaftlicher Software, Bildungsmaterialien und weiteren Forschungsergebnissen und -quellen. Das Handlungsfeld Open Science und damit Open Access, Open Data und Open/Reproducible Research ist fester Bestandteil der strategischen Weiterentwicklung der SPK. Darüber hinaus strebt die SPK mehr gesellschaftliche Partizipation an, beispielsweise im Kontext von Citizen-Science-Projekten. Zudem bekennt die SPK sich zu den Zielen der Berliner Open-Access-Strategie, ist Kooperationspartnerin der Berlin University Alliance, Berlin Research 50 und der Nationalen Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI), für welche Open Science eine wesentliche Leitlinie ihres Handelns ist.
