Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center
Athens, Greece

Open Science is a new research paradigm facing many challenges, mainly the ingrained research habits accompanied by non-incentive institutional and funder reward systems, the lack of embedded tools and services, the connection to non-academic communities.

Open Science Fair 2017 will critically showcase the elements required for the transition to Open Science: e-infrastructures and services, policies as guidance for good practices, research flows and new types of activities (disseminate, mine, review, assess, etc.), the roles of the respective actors and their networks.

The conference will take place at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre (SNFCC), 6-8 September.

OSFair2017 is organized as an emblematic initiative of four EU projects in the area of Open Science: OpenAIREOpenUPFOSTER and OpenMinTeD. It is locally curated by the National Kapodestrian University of Athens and the “Athena” Research and Innovation Center and co-sponsored by the National Library of Greece.
