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 of this year, 2023, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) launched a significant milestone in the science and technology arena when it unveiled the Year of Open Science. As we approach the conclusion of this pivotal year, NISO’s Technology Summit brings this topic center stage to reflect on  this multi-agency endeavor and its far-reaching impacts.

The summit will constructively critique the role of technology and supporting organizations in either facilitating or impeding the progress toward open science. We’ll consider which existing systems were prepared to embrace the declaration’s ideals and which required new implementations. Furthermore, we’ll explore how library and publishing communities seized the opportunity presented by the Year of Open Science and how we can collectively strive for improvement.

Confirmed speakers: Caitlin Carter, Program Manager, HELIOS; Jason Griffey, Director of Strategic Initiatives, NISO; Mark Hahnel, CEO and Founder, Figshare; Iain Hrynaszkiewicz, Director, Open Research Solutions, PLOS; Sue Kriegsman, Deputy Director, Center for Research on Equitable and Open Scholarship (CREOS) and Interim Co-Director of Human Resources, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Libraries; Sarah Lippincott, Head of Community Engagement, Dryad; Eunice Mercado-Lara, Open & Equitable Program Manager, Open Research Funders Group; Nicole Pfeiffer, Chief Product Officer, Center for Open Science; Kristen Ratan, Founder, Strategies for Open Science and Co-Founder, ICOR; Howard Ratner, Executive Director, CHORUS; Shelley Stall, Vice President, Open Science Leadership, American Geophysical Union (AGU); Tiffany Straza, Open Science Consultant, UNESCO; Greg Tananbaum, Director, Open Research Funders Group; Emmy Tsang, Director of Finance and Operations, Open Life Science, and Keith Webster, Dean of University Libraries, Carnegie Mellon University.
