In accordance with Pöschl’s open and equitable approach of scientific teaching and mentoring, his students, postdocs, and alumni successfully pursuing an academic career come from a wide range of ethnic and societal backgrounds (~50% international) with a fairly even gender balance (~50% female). Pöschl actively promotes open science, ,and he initiated the innovative and successful approach of interactive open access publishing with public peer review and online discussion (multi-stage open peer review) as established in the leading international scientific journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP, www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net) and the European Geosciences Union (EGU, www.egu.eu). Moreover, Pöschl initiated and co-chairs the global open access initiative OA2020 (oa2020.org).
