Panel Discussion | Can Science Remain Open in an Authoritarian World?
Open Science shaped our world. Can it survive authoritarianism, geopolitics and proprietary AI? Join the dialogue.
Open science is built on sharing research, methods and data across borders. But rising nationalism, security concerns, authoritarianism and the growing influence of proprietary AI are putting that openness to the test. What is at stake for science-and for society-and how can the research community respond? Join us for a critical dialogue with experts on open science and international cooperation to explore how to preserve openness in a closing world.
