[open-science] Forthcoming EU consultation on open science

[david osimo]

All
as anticipated, following up on of our work on Science 2.0 (thanks for 
your help), the EC is launching a consultation on Science 2.0 / Open 
Science.

The consultation will start next month, as anticipated by Máire 
GEOGHEGAN-QUINN yesterday at ESOF.

"But we, as policymakers at European level, need a better understanding 
of the dynamics of Science 2.0 and its possible impacts on science and 
research policy in particular. We want to discuss with the wider public 
whether we have identified the key drivers and constraints, the 
incentives and benefits.
And that is why we will launch within the next fortnight a wide-ranging 
public consultation to increase awareness of the issues, to understand 
the views and concerns of everyone involved and to fine-tune our own 
analysis."

It will be important to present strong arguments on why open science 
matters and what should be done.
