Open Science Fair 2021

Join us for the 3^rd Open Science FAIR Conference, an international event for all topics related to Open Science

Why?

Open science is at a crossroads. Implementation and adoption are progressing, with researchers, research institutions, funding agencies, service providers and infrastructures all buying in at various levels. Different models emerge which produce a seemingly fragmented ecosystem and achieve small steps on top of traditional scholarly communication models. It is time that communities start to converge these multiple approaches, while taking into consideration the amplitude of open science and keeping a close eye to innovation.

Who?

OSFair2021 is organized as an emblematic initiative of OpenAIRE, co-organized by other projects in the area of Open Science, and with the support of EU projects.

What?

OS Fair 2021 is about communities and their people and about communities using services. Our aim is to identify elements and services needed to bring open science communities together around common practices; to see what are the best synergies to deliver and operate services that work for all; to see how to strengthen and empower communities by building leadership; to bring experiences from all around the world and learn from each other

Expected Outcome

The conference will include keynotes by distinguished speakers, roundtable discussions, workshops and training sessions, as well as a demo session. It will bring together perspectives from different actors and will suggest ways on how communities can work together to produce roadmaps for the implementation of Open Science.
Targeted audience

Research communities and infrastructures, libraries, repository managers, content providers, service providers research administrators and facilitators of research, learned societies, publishers, policy makers and funders, citizen science groups and initiatives, innovators in scholarly communication.

Meet our speakers

OSFair will host key scientists, policy makers and science stakeholders from around the world who will provide inspirational views on how open data and open science influences all aspects of life, policy makers who will tell us what lies ahead, infrastructure/service providers who will present their solutions, and innovators who will bring in their ideas and their notion of openness.

Location

Virtual

This year we will not be able to meet in person. But we want to keep the dynamic spirit of our community shown aleady in Porto and Athens.

So, in keeping with our aim to bring people together, we will develop a new program to bring us together virtually. The virtual program will be shortened to reduce the screen time and to remain dynamic, but will span in more days so we can cover the topics we care.
