Open science is defined by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
as “an inclusive construct that combines various movements and practices aiming to make multilingual
scientific knowledge openly available, accessible and reusable for everyone, to increase scientific
collaborations and sharing of information for the benefits of science and society, and to open the processes of
scientific knowledge creation, evaluation and communication to societal actors beyond the traditional scientific
community.”
