Open Science Policy Forum - Enabling a European Open Science and Innovation University
The pressing societal challenges, coupled with climate change, and the goal of achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), call for fostering new levels of integration, adopting innovative scientific practices, and enhancing global collaboration. Sustainable solutions can only be achieved through the joint efforts of research communities of researchers, students, staff, faculty, citizens, companies, municipalities, citizens and international organisations such as the European Commission, the United Nations, or the World Bank.
The adoption of open science practices, principles and goals can enhance both the internal (academic) and external (societal) processes of learning and creation of new knowledge, fostering trust in science, nurturing innovative and entrepreneurial people, and accelerating research and innovation processes for finding solutions for the achievement of the SDG2030. The institution of open science aims to create a sustainable world. Therefore, further progress towards this vision requires the promotion of an Open Science Recommendation within the European Union, enabling a European Open Science and Innovation Area.
Let’s unite our efforts!
We invite you to participate in our Open Science Policy Forums. Hosted by Unite! at ULisboa and Wroclaw Tech, these forums aim to co-create a white paper that will shape national and European science and innovation policies, promoting new university governance models in Widening countries for sustainable knowledge creation and transfer.
Your participation in this forum is essential to reforming reward systems, improving infrastructure interoperability, and establishing universities as hubs of excellence in open science and innovation management.
Join us in shaping the future of science and innovation for a more sustainable world!

Background material for participating in the Forum
- This white paper is a practical tool aimed at contributing to the transition from modern science to open science in universities and European Universities Alliances (EUAs) by 2030. This white paper provides evidence-based policy guidelines to enhance efficient open science and innovation management at universities.
- This handbook is meant as a practical guide for facilitating researchers, R&I support services, and university managers to transition from modern science to open science. This handbook reveals a high-impact understanding of the best open science and innovation practices on Unite! research teams, exposes Unite! guidelines for the adoption of these practices, and shapes a new governance model for the management of open science and innovation in universities in the digital era. This handbook is a tool for managing open science and innovation in university research teams.
