Keynote Speech
Open Science: An evolving ecosystem
Ana María Cetto
Professor at Instituto de Física, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) and Chair of the UNESCO Global Open Science Steering Committee
It is becoming commonplace to refer to the open-science scene as an 'ecosystem'. This useful concept suggests a closer look at the basic characteristics and functioning of OS as an ecosystem. A logical question arises from this perspective: What are the main assets of contemporary open science, and what is still needed to ensure a long and healthy life for this growing ecosystem? In my talk, I will propose some preliminary answers that may help to chart the course of open science for the next generations.
