The Marie Curie Alumni Association and EuroScientist have made a partnership to organize a webinar on “What does #OpenScience really mean?”.

Recording of the Webinar:

“Open science”: never have terms been interpreted in so many different ways. The diversity of perspectives may reflect the paradigm shift in how science is done that is encoded in these words. Open science encompasses open access to journals, sharing of scientific data, easy reproducibility, and transparency in research evaluation, among many other aspects. Future perspectives include the “uberisation” of science and the harnessing of social networks mechanisms in research. In this webinar, we will rely on important actors in the process of opening science to put order among these ideas. We will try to understand where academia is going and how to engage more scholars in open science.

High profile representatives of the most important stakeholders will be interviewed by the science journalist Michele Catanzaro, who will also moderate the subsequent round table. Michele's documentary Fast-Track Injustice won the best news documentary prize at the Monte Carlo Television Festival in 2014.

The webinar was attended by 173 participants.
