Science Europe Collaborates with CWTS & Know Center on Links Between Open Science and Research Cultures - Science Europe

Following a public call to tender, Science Europe has selected CWTS (Leiden, the Netherlands) and the Know Center (Graz, Austria) for a study into the links between open science and research cultures.

Science Europe's Working Groups on Open Science and Research Culture work together to investigate strategic approaches to, and research assessment of, open science. Their goal is to provide foresight for policy discussions and enhance mutual learning between Science Europe's Member Organisations. This will lay a foundation for the development of strategic recommendations on open science and the evolution of research cultures.

In October 2024, during International Open Access Week, they presented the outcomes of a survey among Science Europe members. They will explore the key findings in a three-part series of internal workshops during 2025, covering topics from ‘open access to research outputs’ to ‘opening the research process’, and from ‘open science policy orientations’ to ‘levers for research culture change’.
