One of the compelling intersections emerging from the GATE initiative is its synergy with the training materials offered by the ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics. Designed for PhD students in business studies and economics, the ZBW’s training session titled "Transparency: Making research methods, data, and findings openly accessible to foster trust and reproducibility" exemplifies the GATE mission in action.

This educational offering, now openly available via Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15348619), introduces key Open Science concepts—Open Access, Open Data, and Open Code—through accessible and modular content. Developed by and for educators, trainers, and content creators within the Open Science ecosystem, the session primarily targets researchers and students as its audience.

This intersection, facilitated by the GATE service, emphasises transparency, collaboration, and accessibility. These align perfectly with the broader objectives of GATE: to build capacity, foster interdisciplinary cooperation, and bridge communities within the Open Science landscape.

This use case not only demonstrates how existing, discipline-specific resources can be integrated into the OS framework but also how educational content can be tailored, reused, and scaled to support Open Science transformation across domains.

The ZBW's contribution serves as a model for how libraries and research service providers can act as catalysts for sustainable and inclusive Open Science practices.

So, come join the GATE!
