Open Science

Open Science

Our research group works predominantly with open-source software and Linux as the primary operating system. This is not a dogmatic choice but a practical one: open tools tend to be more transparent, reproducible, and better suited for research that others can build on.

We are happy to release code, data, and models from our research whenever the legal framework and cooperation agreements allow it. Our open-source releases typically use permissive licenses such as BSD, MIT, or Apache 2.0, as these tend to simplify adoption by industry partners. Where possible, we also publish open data to support reproducibility and enable others to build on our work. That said, we have great respect for copyleft approaches — the right license always depends on the context and goals of a project.
