ABOUT THE WEBINAR

The progressive acceptance and implementation of open access has paved
the way for new possibilities in the creation, authentication,
organization, manipulation and preservation of data and information,
and its broader access, sharing and communication. Momentum towards
the achievement of the vision of the International Council for Science
of a ‘world where excellence in science is reality’ is gathering pace.

From their respective standpoints as practicing scientist and policy
maker and research funder, Geoffrey Boulton and Jose Cotta will
present their current thinking on the behavioral and technical issues
to address, and the barriers to confront, in order to convert the
vision of open science in practice.

Confirmed topics and speakers are:

Pathways to Open Science – Geoffrey Boulton, University of Edinburgh,
Royal Society, and President of CODATA – UK

From Open Access to Open Science: A Vision – José Cotta  Head of Unit
Digital Science, DG CONNECT, European Commission – Belgium
