 The Open Science FAIR 2017 is proud to hold its inaugural international
conference on all topics related to Open Science. It aims to bind policies
and research flows, infrastructures and services together with the people
they serve. #OSFair17 <https://twitter.com/hashtag/OSF2017?src=hash>

What are the elements required in the transition to open access? How do we
change the culture to publish research in a more open manner? What tools
and services are needed to support research? These and other key topics
will be presented over the three day conference, facilitating a cutting
edge and lively forum around the elements required for the transition to
Open Science. Experts from around the world will come together to explore
e-infrastructures and services, offer expertise about policies as guidance
for good practices, identify research flows and ways of improvement.
Projects, initiatives and researchers will have the opportunity to showcase
their work, through open calls for workshops, hands-on training and
posters. The Fair will bring experts together from around the world,
offering unique insights on the changing culture towards a more open
science.

This first conference is organized jointly by four EU funded consortia in
the area of Open Science: OpenAIRE (www.openaire.eu)
OpenUP (www.openup-h2020.eu), Foster (www.fosteropenscience.eu) and
OpenMinTeD (www.openminted.eu) who share the vision of a science that is
free of accessibility and information barriers and is an enabler of social
innovation. It is partly supported by the EOSCpilot project (
www.eoscpilot.eu) which aims to build a seamless open research environment
for Europe.

We invite you to take part in this major Open Science event, which will
take place in *Athens, Greece, 6-8 September 2017.*
