Declaration on Transformative Science, Technology and Innovation Policies for a Sustainable and Inclusive Future

"WE ACKNOWLEDGE that diverging national approaches in the governance of international science, technology and innovation co-operation present challenges to the open circulation and exchange of scientific knowledge, requiring the reassessment and realignment of international co-operation mechanisms which promote openness, reflect legitimate security concerns, and are based on shared values and principles, including reciprocity, transparency, accountability, and mutual benefit....

WE COMMIT to promote: 

●shared values and principles in science, technology, and innovation, notably academic and scientific freedom, scientific excellence, openness, transparency, reciprocity, accountability, research ethics, integrity, and security, as well as diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, all of which underpin responsible research and innovation;

●open science principles and practices for data management and stewardship, including the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR) principles and frameworks for ethical data governance, such as the Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, and Ethics (CARE) principles, to facilitate the inclusive production of knowledge and ensure the equitable access to scientific literature and research data from public funding, across disciplines, sectors, and borders, while also respecting privacy, security, statistical confidentiality and ethical considerations;

●voluntary and mutually beneficial exchange of scientific knowledge and international cooperation in science, technology and innovation that is open, fair, secure, equitable, reciprocal, with respect for intellectual property rights, data protection, privacy as well as human rights, and ethical precepts, to advance knowledge and address global challenges...."
