Abstract

There are many interlinked initiatives that affect the future of research and innovation landscape, most of them embedded in Open Science. How will these initiatives influence research and academia? This seminar will provide information about the UNESCO framework for open science and how the embedded principles drive the international Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) to align research objectives and evaluations. The seminar will bring awareness on the ongoing dialogue in relation to open science principles in the current academic landscape and beyond.

Prof. Nicolas Fressengeas. Professor, and Vice President, at Université de Lorraine, Adviser on Open Science to the Ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l'Innovation [MESRI] (France), and a key contributor to the UNESCO open science framework and forthcoming indicators.
