Hi Folks,
--just a status update on our UNESCO paper. I had a nice conversation this morning with Ana Persic at UNESCO. Our group’s recommendations have been well received and are in-line with UNESCO’s thinking that “open” is a diverse space and that one-size-fits-all solutions are neither wise nor workable.
The next milestone in UNESCO’s consultative process will be an EU/North American policy maker summit meeting in early July. I will make a presentation on behalf of OSI. After this step, a first draft of UNESCO’s open science policy will be developed by September and will then begin additional rounds of review and feedback.
In parallel, I’m still trying to get US science policy agencies together to discuss their various and disconnected open roadmap efforts. It’s important that these groups understand the contours of each other’s plans, and also understand how their plans might mesh or conflict with other large scale policies (including each other’s).
That’s it for this topic---happy to field question on or off list.
Best,
Glenn

Hi Joyce,
True. We’ve spun out three big ideas so far this year. The first was the case for common ground action on open scholarship reform, upon which the second big idea---Plan A---was based.
The third big idea was this group’s consolidated specific ideas and recommendations for UNESCO about open science---a “roadmap” for how to get to the future of open science using common ground and Plan A.
These pillars all connect, and are all related to the themes developed by/in OSI of embracing the diversity in this space, and working together on common goals and interests.

Aha. Well:
Both in the US and UN, there is a lot of siloed thinking happening on this subject. I’ve been working since last year to get WHO, UNDP, and other relevant agencies (i.e., those with development goals connected to education and research) involved in UNESCO’s process---email channels are open anyway, so at least they’re aware of UNESCO’s work. I’ve also been working---without success so far (but I’m not giving up)---to generate interest in a “virtual mini-roundtable” of US agencies so they can compare notes on goals, direction, progress, etc. If researchers and institutions everywhere (not just in the US) can align behind broad and inclusive goals for open research, and also align with UN policy, imagine what kind of tsunami that could unleash in terms of investment focus, infrastructure development, policy rollout, etc.
So, that’s the “roadmap” I’m talking about Joyce---happy to answer any questions.
Best,
Glenn
