Workshop "New Perspectives on Open Science"
Convenors : Koen Vermeir (Paris, CNRS & GYA) & Moritz Riede (Oxford, Wolfson & GYA)

Open Science is currently undergoing major changes. From an activist movement promoting the open sharing of scientific results it has transformed into the dominant framework in European science policy. On the way, Open Science has become more complex and ambiguous. In this workshop, we will discuss the new identities of Open Science and the new challenges the movement is facing. We will evaluate whether old strategies and ideas are still effective and relevant and explore areas of Open Science that have largely remained off the radar. To close the workshop, we will put the spotlight on one of these forgotten pillars of Open Science, the fair access to research software, and a new Global Young Academy report on this subject will be launched.
