Open Science Policy Forums - Enabling a European Open Science and Innovation Area

Hosted by Wrocław Tech and ULisboa, these forums are open to researchers, teachers, students and technical and administrative staff and aim 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.

Open Science Policy Forum

The University of Lisbon will host the second Unite! Widening Open Science Policy Forum, centred on enabling European Open Science and Innovation Universities.

Open to researchers, teachers, students, as well as technical and administrative staff, this forum aims to co-create an open science policy guide: a new Unite! white paper to support university managers, policymakers, and funders in the Widening countries in fostering the development of European Open Science and Innovation Universities.

By leveraging ULisboa and Wroclaw Tech as testbeds for universities in Poland, Portugal, and other Widening countries, the Unite! open science community will co-create a white paper to support university managers, policymakers, and funders in these countries in developing European Open Science and Innovation Universities. This white paper will contribute to enabling a European Open Science and Innovation Area among Widening and Non-Widening countries.

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 improve the quality 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 the achievement of the United Nations SDG 2030. The institution of open science aims to achieve 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.

We invite you to participate in the ULisboa Open Science Policy Forum and in the Wroclaw Tech Open Science Policy Forum. Let’s unite our efforts!

The ULisboa Open Science Policy Forum takes place within the framework of the International Open Access Week 2024 (October 21 - 27, 2024) dedicated to the theme “Community over Commercialization” to prioritize approaches to open scholarships that serve the best interests of the public and the academic community.
