The International Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI) will organise its first webinar titled 'A Pathway from Open Access and Data Sharing to Open Science in Practice,' in close partnership with NISO. This webinar is scheduled for November 10, 2015, from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time USA).
The progressive acceptance and implementation of open access has paved the way for new possibilities in the creation, authentication, organisation, manipulation and preservation of data and information, and its broader access, sharing and communication. Momentum towards the achievement of the vision of the International Council for Science of a 'world where excellence in science is reality' is gathering pace.
From their respective standpoints as practicing scientist and policy maker and research funder, Pr.Geoffrey Boulton, University of Edinburgh, Royal Society, and President of CODATA, and José Cotta, Head of Unit Digital Science, DG CONNECT, European Commission, will present their current thinking on the behavioural and technical issues to address, and the barriers to confront, in order to convert the vision of open science in practice.
The webinar will be moderated by Jerry Sheehan, Vice President ICSTI, Assistant Director for Policy Development at the National Library of Medicine, currently on secondment to the Office of Science and Technology Policy (to be confirmed).
