title: Supplementary Materials of the 1st Interactive Workshop on the Promotion of Open Science in Requirements Engineering 2026 (Re-OpenS'26)

description: Summary

This collection contains all the supplementary materials of the 1st Interactive Workshop on the Promotion of Open Science in Requirements Engineering 2026, co-located with the 32nd International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality 2026.

The materials complement the workshop sessions and provide participants with resources to enhance their understanding and application of open science principles in the field of Requirements Engineering (RE) by leveraging the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) and ORKG Ask for FAIR scientific information. These materials contain all presentation slides and exercise materials so that everyone can repeat the theoretical presentations independently and carry out the practical exercises themselves at any time.
