Hosted by Unite! at ULisboa and Wroclaw Tech on 10-11 October 2024, the Open Science Policy Forum aims to co-create a white paper that will shape national and European science and innovation policies, promoting new university governance models in Widening countries for sustainable knowledge creation and transfer. Your participation in this forum is essential to reforming reward systems, improving infrastructure interoperability, and establishing universities as hubs of excellence in open science and innovation management.
The pressing societal challenges, coupled with climate change, and the goal of achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), call for fostering new levels of integration, adopting innovative scientific practices, and enhancing global collaboration. Sustainable solutions can only be achieved through the joint efforts of research communities of researchers, students, staff, faculty, citizens, companies, municipalities, citizens and international organisations such as the European Commission, the United Nations, or the World Bank.
The adoption of open science practices, principles and goals can enhance both the internal – academic– and external –societal– processes of learning and creation of new knowledge, fostering trust in science, nurturing innovative and entrepreneurial people, and accelerating research and innovation processes for finding solutions for the achievement of the SDG2030. The institution of open science aims to create a sustainable world. Therefore, further progress towards this vision requires the promotion of an Open Science Recommendation within the European Union, enabling a European Open Science and Innovation Area.
