*Outline
Open Science is high on the political agenda. During the Dutch Presidency of the European Council in 2016 the 28 Member States adopted Competitiveness Council Conclusions on Open Science, and there was a Presidency Conference on Open Science that resulted in the Amsterdam Call for Action on Open Science. The European Commission has set up a European Open Science Agenda and installed a number of Expert Groups on topics like Open Science Cloud and Altmetrics. Several European countries have established national open science policies and strategies.
Other stakeholders, like universities, publishers, and funding organizations, are also elaborating on Open Science activities, including Citizen Science. At the same time, major changes in for example the ways of scholarly communication are hampered by first-mover disadvantages, or require major redistribution of means.
So where are we standing now? How could we induce change in the Open Science Ecosystem? How can we catalyse the transition to open access with respect to publishing? What would be needed to stimulate sharing of research data?
This talk will give a European overview, discuss these questions and open up for discussion on possible solutions. It will focus on publications and research data, although other aspects of open science and connecting science to society at large - including innovation - will also be touched upon.
