Panel discussion on the commercialization of open science
–
How can knowledge and research be made transparent, open and accountable? How must Open Access or Open Research be designed to serve as an alternative to commercialized science? And how can researchers protect themselves from the surveillance of these large corporations? With a recommendation on a state initiative „Open Research Berlin“, the Open Access Office Berlin initiates a process towards an open and participatory science that is also responsible for structural justice and inclusion. Wikimedia Deutschland has helped to further establish Open Science in Germany with its Open Science Fellows Program and will focus in the coming years on the question of the way research must open up in order to contribute to equitable science. The Open Access Office Berlin and Wikimedia Deutschland invite this panel to critically reflect on the state of openness in light of new business models and to outline alternative scenarios and models.
The Center for Open and Responsible Research (CORe) at Berlin University Alliance (BUA) and Deutsche Bibliotheksverband (dbv) support this event.
On the podium are:
- Björn Brembs, Professor of Neurogenetics at the University of Regensburg
- Andreas Degkwitz, Director of the University Library of the Humboldt University of Berlin and Federal Chairman of the German Library Association (dbv)
- Angela Holzer, consultant in the DFG group Scientific literature supply and information systems
- Julia Reda, politician and expert on copyright and freedom of communication and since 2020 head of the project “control © – Realize Free Communication” at the Society for Freedom Rights
The panel discussion will be moderated by Jan-Martin Wiarda.
