The English version of the White Book of the Transition to Open Science 2023 - 2030 can be downloaded here.
The White Book provides detailed information on the implementation of the principles, challenges, and actions included in Objective 1.2, "Ensuring the Transition to Open Science and Facilitating the Path to Excellence in Scientific Research" of the National Strategy for Research, Innovation, and Smart Specialization 2022-2027 (SNCISI), dedicated to the adoption of practices that support open science at the national level.
This strategic document has 8 directions (strategic intervention objectives) and proposes subsequent actions for achieving the Open Science Vision for Romania for the time horizon of 2030. The strategic objectives are discussed in dedicated briefs that describe the current state and propose nationally oriented strategic actions; these aim to comprehensively address the implications of Open Science and are anchored in the national context, international practices, major trends, and recommendations defined by the main European and global recommendations such as the European Commission's recommendations, UNESCO's Recommendation on Open Science (2021), and the Conclusions of the Competitiveness Council on Research Assessment and Implementation of Open Science from June 10, 2022.
The White Book was developed in a participatory process organized in multiple rounds through a series of workshops and mutual learning events, dissemination activities, and surveys for understanding the needs and degree of awareness regarding various aspects of open science. The public consultation on the Green Paper version was conducted by OSKH from August 18 to September 30, 2022; results from this consultation can be consulted here (in Romanian).
This leaflet includes the sets of proposed strategic actions, while detailed information on the national and European/international context can be found in the Romanian expanded version of the White Paper found at www.open-science.ro.
