Uncover how unchecked challenges in OS can jeopardize academic freedom and inadvertently foster Western-centric research. OS, with its noble ideals of global access, demands a shift in scientific mindset and robust governance structures—infrastructure, codes of conduct, regulations, and training. Deficiencies in these elements pose critical threats to researchers and institutions, impacting academic freedom, diversity, and inclusivity in science. 

Discover how OS in Europe intersects with policy, potentially conflicting with GDPR, intellectual property regulations, and funding restrictions. Explore the imperative for a governance structure driving a paradigm shift in science, guided by Research Ethics and Integrity. 

Embrace Responsible Open Science in Europe!

Join us for a pivotal workshop on the evolving landscape of Research Ethics, Integrity, and governance of Open Science (OS) challenges. 

The workshop organized by the European Parliament's STOA Panel for the Future of Science and Technology and it hosted by by MEP Ivars Ijabs!
