Open Science is based on the principle that scientific research should be shared and reused. It is a new way of producing and sharing knowledge between the scientific community and society at large, making it possible to increase the recognition and social and economic impact of science.

Concept | Pillars | Principles and Benefits

Open Science aims to maximize the impact of research for the benefit of society as a whole; and to foster/accelerate scientific discovery.

From social sciences to exact sciences, as well as in the humanities, Open Science promotes greater transparency in scientific research and open access to scientific knowledge. Its purpose is to make knowledge accessible and reusable by all.

Going beyond open access to data and scientific publications, the concept of Open Science promotes a full opening up of the scientific process, enhancing social responsibility in science.

Principles of Open Science

The principles of Open Science seek to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between the scientific community, society and companies, with the aim of increasing the recognition and social and economic impact of science.

  • Transparency in the practices, methodology, observation and gathering of data

  • Dissemination, public access to and reuse of research results (publications and data)
  • Transparency in science communication
  • Use of web-based tools to facilitate academic collaboration

Pillars of Open Science

  • Open access to research data and scientific publications, especially when they are the result of projects with public funding
  • Opening up of research methods and tools
  • Collaborative research processes
  • Citizen science
  • Open innovation
