Open science from perspectives
Open science is an important topic and has many different perspectives in the digital transformation era, when knowledge is no longer confined to academia, or technology, but has a direct and strong impact on many businesses and economies, when that knowledge needs to be expanded and shared reasonably. However, the concepts of Open Science are quite vague or scattered to many people.
With the desire to promote a common understanding of open science, core values, challenges as well as different pathways leading to open science, the lectures at the workshop were presented by speakers from different fields: policy development experts, managers belonging to business associations, and prestigious scientists at research institutes. In addition, attending the workshop were scientists and young people interested in the field of science and technology and humanities society to have open dialogues, contributing to the richness of diversity and the intersection between different fields.
