The InterAcademy Partnership are calling on Individuals to comment on the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has been developing an international standard-setting instrument on Open Science in the form of a UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science since November 2019. The first draft of the Recommendation on Open Science has been submitted to UNESCO’s Member States and is available for comments.

The perspective of the international academic community and their assessment of the draft text will be instrumental in informing UNESCO and its Member States in the development of the final text of the Recommendation on Open Science, expected to be adopted by Member States in November 2021.

The InterAcademy Partnership is assisting UNESCO in gathering comments from the academic community represented by their respective members on the first draft text of the Recommendation. Thus, the Royal Irish Academy calls on its stakeholders to submit their views.

To contribute, please fill in this survey by 15 December 2020. The survey will require approximately 15 - 20 minutes of your time.
