We present steps we took and are still taking to establish an Open Science Initiative at the Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences at Chemnitz University of Technology. Based on a short survey we conducted in spring 2020 at the Institute of Psychology and the research training group of the CRC1410 „Hybrid Societies“, we collected ideas about how to make progress concerning transparent science in teaching and research. Following this, we declared the winter term as Open Science semester in order to implement the topic, to provide information via talks and journal clubs and to officially start our Open Science Initiative. We will present projects on how we aim to implement open science practices in the routines of teaching social sciences in undergraduate and graduate curricula. In addition to the establishment of an OS-Journal Club for students and faculty staff, courses for teaching competencies in conducting empirical experiments were complemented with Open Science elements, e.g. preregistrations. Our goal is to familiarize students with Open Science principles from the very beginning of their studies. We are currently setting up an institute-wide OSF (Open Science Forum) account to better link student research projects and to further improve transparency and comprehensibility of their research process. By adapting the idea of "many labs studies", we implemented "many students projects" for replication studies.
