Summary
Lambert Heller is the founder and head of the Open Science Lab at TIB with 13+ years of experience advancing open research data, computational publishing, and participatory formats in scholarly infrastructure. A trained social scientist and librarian, he combines hands-on program design—book sprints, barcamps and hackathons—with policy advising and peer review for major funders like DFG and VolkswagenStiftung. He regularly publishes and speaks on open science in mainstream and specialist outlets, runs daily commentary via Mastodon, and designs workshops used at events such as re:publica and Bibliothekartag. Lambert has led grant-funded projects on digital collective memory and wiki-based commemoration, applying citizen-science methods to Holocaust remembrance. He also shapes community-building initiatives within NFDI4Culture and serves on editorial and advisory boards, blending scholarly rigor with practical tools for openness. Colleagues describe him as a connector who turns participatory formats into sustainable, reproducible publishing and learning infrastructure.
