Establishing Open Science Policies for Data Generation and Sharing in Disruptive Situations

CBAS cooperated with CAS-TWAS SDIM, CODATA (and in particular its GOSC Initiative), CNIC, and other support agencies to organize the 2022 international training workshop. By providing a scientific and practical guide to the use of Big Earth Data in relation to SDG-13, the objective of this training workshop was to increase expertise and build capacity of Open Science, thus contributing to the achievement of the UN SDGs. Participants received training focusing on knowledge and skills for valuable SDG-related cloud platforms, services, resources, and tools.

This presentation focused on UNESCO's Recommendation on Open Science, Open Science has significantly transformed knowledge production and distribution. It has been increasingly recognized as a critical accelerator for the achievement of the SDGs and a true game-changer in bridging the science, technology, and innovation gaps and fulfilling the inclusion of human rights in science.
