Open Science Conference - Données de la Recherche

"Open Science is a key priority of the Dutch Presidency. The Netherlands is committed to open access to scientific publications and the best possible re-use of research data, and it would like to accelerate the transition this requires. Open Science Open Science involves transitioning from a system in which it is difficult to access and locate the results of scientific research to one that openly distributes results to all kinds of end users, such as researchers, knowledge institutions, companies, patient organisations, teachers, students, farmers and members of the public. There are many initiatives and activities in the field of Open Science. In and of themselves, however, they cannot bring about the changes that are needed. By working together, joining forces and setting priorities for action, the Netherlands hopes to genuinely accelerate the transition to Open Science, especially in terms of open access to scientific articles that are published internationally and the optimal, responsible re-use of scientific data. At European level, an Open Science Agenda is being developed which will set out areas of specific action agreed by the European Commission and member states. Preparations are also under way to set up an Open Science Policy Platform that will be tasked with fleshing out the agenda."
