The European Parliament’s Science and Technology Options Assessment (STOA) Panel will hold a high-level event on Research Integrity in Open Science, which can be followed live online.

Aim of the event

The roundtable intends to focus on how unchecked challenges in Open Science can jeopardise academic freedom. Open Science demands a shift in scientific mindset and robust governance structures–infrastructure, codes of conduct, regulations, and training. Deficiencies in these elements pose critical threats to researchers and institutions, impacting academic freedom, diversity, and inclusivity in science.

Experts, researchers together with policymakers discuss how Open Science in Europe intersects with policy, potentially conflicting with GDPR, intellectual property regulations, and funding restrictions. They also explore the imperative for a governance structure driving a paradigm shift in science, guided by Research Ethics and Integrity.
