Strengthening the policy of openness in science at the University of Warsaw
- This event has passed.
In modern scientific communication, the sharing of research results and data is increasingly based on principles of openness, verifiability, and replicability. Although the movement toward widespread and open access to knowledge is growing, it has not yet become the standard. The equitable distribution of knowledge and universal participation in it play a crucial role in the development and democratisation of societies. However, despite technological advancements, significant barriers to free access to knowledge remain.
The launch of two new repositories at the University of Warsaw, aimed at facilitating the sharing of scientific achievements and access to research data, prompts the university to consider how best to promote access to science. What is necessary to achieve this? Is it solely about technological and legislative solutions? How should the rules of access to knowledge be regulated? What practices are already in place in Poland and worldwide?
The University of Warsaw’s participation in the 4EU+ Alliance offers a unique opportunity to compare and learn from European universities that are more advanced in the realm of open science. This collaboration fosters the integration into the international scientific community, which undoubtedly enhances the quality of science and education at the University of Warsaw and elevates its prestige.
Presentations by representatives from partner universities in Germany, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Denmark will showcase European best practices and innovative solutions. Additionally, speakers from Poland will discuss specific initiatives at Warsaw’s universities and broader issues related to the dissemination of science that concern researchers nationwide.
The organisers hope that the presentations and discussions will provide a comprehensive view of openness in Polish science and that the conference will contribute to the development of this idea among researchers, PhD candidates, students, and all others interested in scientific achievements.
Participation in the conference is free of charge.
Please note: the number of places is limited. The order of registration is decisive.
