The Polish Open Science Conference 2024

The major global scientific and human challenges of the 21st century (including climate mitigation and adaptation, environmental sustainability, biodiversity and ecosystem management, disaster risk reduction, the interplay of society, the economy and energy policy) can only be addressed through cross-domain research that seeks to understand complex systems through machine-assisted analysis at...

The realization of Open Science's promises for research, society, and innovation hinges on a concerted (global) effort to ensure the FAIRness of data—both for computers and people.

Europe, in pursuit of the European Open Science Cloud, aspires to lead in this endeavour. Only if data become globally Findable, Accessible, and Interoperable, we make them effectively Reusable for science and...

Open science, in particular the open access publishing of research and the widespread sharing of data, have been depicted as key to combatting the COVID-19 pandemic – not least in the unprecedented speed with which vaccines were developed. However, there is little empirical evidence to back those assertions. With a new study titled “Open Science – Crucial for effective COVID research?” I...

Aleksander Janicki is the creator of sound compositions, generative and at the same time created in the convention of intuitive music, based on freely improvised compositions using EEG brain wave readers accompanied by an image layer. The video image is a kind of visual score created using the Big Dada Generator installation. The installation generates an image in real time and is the only...

The high-energy physics conducted at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) represents the world’s most complex collective research undertaking. Using the world’s largest scientific instruments, experimental collaborations consisting of thousands of researchers from across the world collide particles at unprecedented energies to uncover fundamental answers about the universe and...

Open science has been widely adopted as the key paradigm for modern science. However, to achieve this lofty goal, one needs to consider the additional work required to practically open all aspects of the scientific processes. Rapid advance on open access publishing is only one of the aspects, and even this solution has also created its own challenges to equity and fairness in the form of...
