#OSFAIR2023: 3 days of Open Science |
From September 25 to 27, Madrid was the centre of Open Science for Europe. 382 individuals from 42 countries actively engaged in live discussions and contributed to the development of the next phases for implementing Open Science: 2 inspirational keynote speeches provided insights from both global and European perspectives, 3 panel discussions facilitated debates from thought leaders, and 11 workshops, 24 lightning talks, 13 demos, 40 posters showcased the collaborative efforts of the research community.
The primary topics included research evaluation with a central focus on Open Science, publishing models and strategies to consolidate the field and garner researcher support, the growing significance of Artificial Intelligence in scholarly communication through Scientific Knowledge Graphs and Large Language Models, and the development of skills for Open Science that extend beyond traditional career trajectories and consider new forms of teaching.
We express our gratitude to the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), our Spanish National Open Access Desk (NOAD), for co-organising the conference. We take great pride in being recognised as one of the prominent Open Science events organised under the auspices of the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
What comes next: We are currently making arrangements to distribute the slide decks of all presentations, along with the recorded sessions of the plenary sessions. Stay tuned! |

RESEARCH ASSESSMENT |
Open Infrastructures for Responsible Research Assessment |
We are pleased to announce that OpenAIRE, in collaboration with CWTS at University of Leiden, will co-chair the new COARA Working Group on Open Infrastructures for Responsible Research Assessment. The primary goal of the WG is to help institutions transition from proprietary infrastructure and meta-research information to open and interoperable alternatives.
If you are a member of COARA, we would love to have you participate. |

OPEN SCIENCE IMPACT |
Open Science Indicator Handbook |
The PathOS Horizon Europe project has just released the Open Science Indicator Handbook. A comprehensive list of indicators on academic, societal, and economic impact (including reproducibility) has a particular focus on the impact of Open Science itself. It provides, where applicable, ready-to-use recipes to facilitate the operationalisation of indicators. The handbook is open to contributions from the community, and the consortium would greatly value your feedback. |
