Abstract proceedings Open Science Conference with ISBN number
The abstract proceedings are online and ready for download; they have an ISBN number. They were produced based on the program data base with a cut-off date on 25 May 2018 (presenter registration deadline). All changes after that (presenting authors, cancellations, changes from poster to oral, additional co-authors etc) are therefore not reflected in the proceedings. The comprehensive and continuously updated, final version of the scientific contributions to the OSC are available in the online program.

Morning plenaries
Every morning from Wednesday, 20 June - Saturday, 23 June 2018 starts with a short video review of the day before and then proceeds with two keynote lectures.
