Dear Friends,


We would like to invite you to the conference “Open Science Works!” in the
European Parliament on October 15th from 9:00 to 11:00 (room PHS 5B001)
under the auspices of MEP Marietje Schaake with the support of the
TransAtlantic Consumer Dialogue (TACD).


“Open”, “access” and “new innovation models” are becoming new buzz words in
many quarters of academia, business and civil society. Nowhere is this
discussion as vigorous as in the field of scientific and academic research.
Intense debate and new proposals of legislation are increasingly present on
these subjects in EU Institutions.


We shall consider “open access scientific publishing”, "text and data
mining”, “open science” and “open education”. These all pose difficult
questions concerning the protection of the public good, scientific
responsibility and the adaptation of science to the digital age. Also at
stake are promoting new business models, saving public money and, even,
saving lives.


Programme


Introductory remarks by MEP Marietje Schaake


Christoph Bruch, Helmholz Stiftung, Berlin:  "Text and Data Mining: the way
forward in the EU."


Alma Swan, SPARC, "The EU´s new Open Access Policy: making it happen."

Open Science".



The European Commission will be represented by DG Connect.


The discussion will be moderated by Mr. David Hammerstein, Senior advocate,
TransAtlantic Consumer Dialogue, Brussels.
