Open Science

Open Science is a movement for greater transparency and openness in science, which is increasingly having an impact on everyday scientific work and life in all scientific
disciplines. Open Science is an umbrella term that ‘‘…combines various movements and practices aiming to make multilingual scientific knowledge openly available,
accessible and reusable for everyone, to increase scientific collaborations and sharing of information for the benefits of science and society, and to open the processes of scientific knowledge creation, evaluation and communication to societal actors beyond the traditional scientific community’’ (UNESCO 2021). In this sense, Open Science
activities are not limited to providing open scientific knowledge (e.g., through open access, open data, open source, open methodology, open educational resources,
etc.) using Open Science infrastructures, but in addition emphasize accelerating an open dialogue and open engagement with societal actors (e.g., through citizen and
participatory science, inclusion of marginalized scholars, etc.).
