Open Science in 2022 - Summary of the P2I Small Circle Meetup on Open Science

The report documents consolidated results on open science of an expert meeting in June 2022 in the succeeding order: open science focal points in June 2022, important policy initiatives in June 2022, and conclusions for the year 2022. On 16 June 2022, Path2Integrity organised a conference at the Steigenberger Hotel in Kiel involving six informed stakeholders to discuss priorities for promoting open science in Europe. The stakeholders represented research-funding and research-producing organisations with different fields of interest, specifically open science infrastructure, educational and legal best practices, national and international science agents, research ethics, and the issue of reproducibility.

This gender-balanced group discussed how far Europe had come in the open science movement and how research quality, efficiency and creativity and society's trust in science could be improved. They focused on tackling the reproducibility crisis, responding to societal challenges, accessing and sharing results, and combating the knowledge gap concerning the FAIR principles.

This report concisely identifies and examines the issues that have been discussed in the small circle meetup on open science.
