NISO Tech Summit | Virtual Event

Reflections on the Year of Open Science

Wednesday, October 25, 2023, 10:00 am–1:30 pm EDT (US/Canada)

Thursday, October 26, 2023, 10:00 am–1:30 pm EDT(US/Canada)

In January, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) declared 2023 the Year of Open Science. As we approach the conclusion of this pivotal year, NISO’s Tech Summit: Reflections on the Year of Open Science will convene to review progress and consider the challenges and prospects facing the content providers, service providers, and platform hosts working to make research more transparent and accessible.

Split over two days, the program features speakers at the vanguard of open science. They will ask and answer questions about how organizations and systems rose to the declaration, what worked well, what needs improvement, where the opportunities lie, and what complications need resolution as we move forward. The first day of programming will take a high-level approach, reviewing ambitions and realities, while the second will take a deeper dive, comparing the United States’ practice to European efforts, the cultural implications and complications of openness, and a practical assessment of the tools and systems needed.

Confirmed speakers: Caitlin Carter, Program Manager, HELIOS; Kristen Ratan, Founder, Strategies for Open Science and Co-Founder, ICOR; Jason Griffey, Director of Strategic Initiatives, NISO; Mark Hahnel, CEO and Founder, Figshare; Iain Hrynaszkiewicz, Director, Open Research Solutions, PLOS; Sarah Lippincott, Head of Community Engagement, Dryad; Nicole Pfeiffer, Chief Product Officer, Center for Open Science; Howard Ratner, Executive Director, CHORUS; Greg Tananbaum, Director, Open Research Funders Group; and Keith Webster, Dean of University Libraries, Carnegie Mellon University.
