What is Open Science?

Open science is a comprehensive set of principles and practices aimed at ensuring that scientific research
from all disciplines is accessible to everyone, benefiting both scientists and society. It advocates not only for
the accessibility of scientific knowledge but also for the inclusiveness, equity, and sustainability in the process
of producing that knowledge. By fostering greater openness, open science enhances scientific collaboration
and encourages the sharing of information to advance both science and society.
Additionally, it promotes the availability and reusability of scientific knowledge in multiple languages, ensuring
that a global audience can utilize it. Open science also invites societal actors beyond the traditional scientific
community to engage in knowledge creation, evaluation, and communication, further democratizing scientific
progress. - (UNESCO, 2023)
