(14 Jul 2023) It is generally accepted in Europe that research should be as open as possible and as close as necessary. Finding the borderline between the two is one of the most important tasks for practitioners, whether they belong to funders, research organizations, their partners or researchers themselves.
Yet, this borderline is not sufficiently explored. Guidelines based on feedback and learning from practice should be created, rather sooner than later.
This innovative approach to research has further potential: to address existing inequalities and matters like inclusivity, ethics, better assessment or the missing links between science and society or to re-shape public-private partnerships.
This Open Science event is organized by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supported by the UCL Office for Open Science University College London, UCL Press, with technical support by Scientific Knowledge Services (SKS). It would be held online on 27th September 2023.
Emphasizing research practices, we will discuss the role of research organizations to support this transition, both acting local and internationally.
The results of the workshops will be captured in a formal report. The report is intended to be used by all involved partners, to advance the implementation of Open Science in their communities and their own institutions.
