This workshop will focus on building connections between the communities, and will begin with a brief introduction to open science, followed by a presentation of different barriers that exist for open science, and examples from different parts of the world. It will then provide a structure for looking at how Wikimedians can support the development of open science policies and practices. Finally, the workshop will discuss coordinated efforts for national and regional collaborations.","description":"This workshop aims to explore both shared goals and missions between the Wikimedia and open science movements and possibilities for synergies between the two, in particular in supporting each other to achieve the goal of wider access to knowledge. It looks to explore, in turn, the key issues facing the open science movement and how these mirror onto (or contrast with) those affecting Wikimedians in their work, and then the particular policy challenges that are often faced. The workshop will also explore the specific challenges faced by those in the Global South to support the development of equitable access to research.\r\nOn the basis of this evidence, the session will then look to bring forward positive examples of how Wikimedians and open science/open access advocates can work together in the advocacy space. Possible areas of focus include work around promoting more open licensing of academic outputs and building a culture of sharing in general, efforts to address contractual practices that close knowledge, as well as mandatory collective licensing practices.\r\n\r\nSession recording: https://youtu.be/LWWUXW1O3Q4?list=PLhV3K_DS5YfJ1xyY0LNDNX3RKyRQEXOdB&t=2862","duration":55,"slot_count":1,"do_not_record":false,"is_featured":false,"content_locale":"en","slot":{"room_id":10,"room":{"en":"Istanbul (10)"},"start":"2024-08-09T10:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-08-09T11:05:00+02:00"},"image":null,"resources":[{"resource":"https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1oLnxWP2H4fvzv_GHifT-bDBNsxDihyQ845EdSC_HoEo/edit#slide=id.g2cbe13544d8_5_15","description":"Draft slides_MH 4 Aug"}],"answers":[]}
