Resilience in times of crisis: Strengthening Open Science against geopolitical pressures - Leiden University

"The success of the Open Science movement relies on research products and infrastructures being open, accessible and sustainably curated. Recent global events, however, have illustrated the vulnerability of Open Science to geopolitical influences. In the USA both research and data are under threat from changing political ideals. In Sudan, Ukraine and Gaza knowledge collections are threatened by war. Recognising that these geopolitical pressures are unlikely to disappear, Open Science needs new strategies of resilience to safeguard open knowledge, infrastructures, and dialogues with societal actors. This workshop starts the conversation of how to build up resilient and responsive open systems."
