Summary:
"At the UNGA Science Summit 2025 leaders from across the world gathered to discuss a question that will shape the future of global knowledge systems: how do we finance Open Research as a global public good? A panel hosted jointly by the Science for Africa Foundation (SFA), the International Network for Advancing Science and Policy (INASP), and the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) brought together perspectives from across Africa, the UK, and global philanthropy.
Their discussion highlighted both the urgency and the opportunity of building sustainable financing models for Open Research—models that not only close equity gaps but also advance Africa’s science and development ambitions.
This blog reflects on that conversation and explores what it means for the future of Open Research financing."
