Uncovering the challenges of Open Science in Development | OCSDNET

SUMMARY: This blog summarises some of the challenges for open and collaborative science in development, based on feedback from OCSDNet project teams   Some of these challenges include: navigating institutional ethics and power relations, a lack of buy-in from traditional scientists, the challenge of openness within a neoliberal system, navigating the local politics of ‘openness,’ effective engagement with diverse stakeholders, and working with diverse research teams.   This blog is Part 1 of a series of blogs that will seek to report some of the emerging findings, best practice and impacts of OCSDNet, one year in to the work of the network.
