Thursday 26 September (am)
Chaired by Margret Plank of TIB, the ITOC Workshop organised by the Information Trends and Opportunities Committee of ICSTI presented an in-depth perspective on ‘Open Science – Latest Developments and Initiatives’ .
The ITOC Workshop 2019 provides a unique forum for researchers, librarians, practitioners, infrastructure providers, policy makers, and other stakeholders to discuss the latest and future developments in Open Science. Open Science is an umbrella term that involves various movements and initiatives aiming to remove the barriers for sharing any kind of research output, resources, methods or tools, at any stage of the research life cycle. Open Science gains in importance in the scholarly community by developments like the Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the FAIR data movement. However, establishing open science practices in daily scientific work is still a great challenge. The workshop will cover a broad overview on recent developments and initiatives in Open Science around the globe including Scholarly Communication of the future, Open Data & Open Science Training, Open Scholarship in Practice and New Formats of Participation in Science.

Thursday 26 September (pm)
Chaired by Brian Hitson of DOE/OSTI, the TACC Workshop organised by the Technical Activities Coordinating Committee of ICSTI provided focuses on ‘Technology Enabled Innovation in Open Science’ .
The concept and benefits of open science are now well understood. Putting the concept into action and realizing the benefits require specific tools and technical approaches. In this TACC workshop, experts in open science will describe tools they have developed to enable researchers to practice open science – to share their discoveries ; collaborate ; and enable connections across research objects, people, projects, and places. From the growing use cases for identifiers ; to lab and software collaboration tools ; to new models for obtaining scientific community peer review and input ; to AI support for open science – the workshop will offer fresh takes on technical progress in open science.
