BUA

Dear Reader, We presented the BUA Mobile Lab project at the Long Night of Science 2024 in Berlin. During this annual event, universities and research institutions showcase scientific demonstrations, lectures, and interactive activities, making science accessible and engaging for all ages. We used the occasion to present the BUA Mobile Lab concept, and showcase the three open source manufacturing machines we collected for that purpose: a 3D printer, a laser-cutter and a CNC mill.

This post is in German, an English summary and alt text to images will be added in the coming weeks. Aknowledgement: I want to thank my son Jeff (10) for corrections of my text. Hallo liebe Besucher*innen, auf diesen Website erklären wir, worum dieses Projekt OpenMake sich handelt und warum wir es betreiben. Auf den homepage können Sie sehen, dass Wir sind aus verschiedenen Unis in Berlin. Wir arbeiten seit 2019 über offenes Hardware in Akademia.

Open.Make kickoff meeting.

October 7, 2021

On October 7th 2021, the Open.Make project kickoff meeting took place at the Charité campus in Mitte. The three research partners/labs, the project officer from the Berlin University Alliance (BUA) and three invited external partners presented and discussed their respective works. It was a successful meeting as it offered a broad overview of the benefits of open hardware in academia and beyond. While it was originally planned as fully in-person, the meeting had to be shifted to a hybrid meeting, as two participants could not come to the meeting location.

Original post (2021-09-27) has been updated (2023-12-14). The problem(s) Have you ever tried to follow instructions on how to assemble something and get stuck, either due to a lack of clarity or missing information? This can be annoying enough when you are trying to setup a new piece of furniture, but when your goal is to replicate someone’s research1, these annoyances create an additional burden. In the worst case, the research cannot be replicated and the research process is significantly slowed down.

in progress report

August 31, 2021

On September 1st the Berlin university alliance project Open.make: toward open and FAIR hardware has officially started. Three labs that work together for the first time will collaborate and design a social and technical infrastructure, in order to foster open and FAIR hardware publication and recognition. In this post, we will describe how the idea was developed over a short period of time following the publication of a BUA call.
