Policy and Technology for e-Science

an ESOF Satellite Event

July 16-17, 2008
(reception the night of July 16)

We’re reaching an inflection point in the global movement to implement “open” approaches to scientific research — approaches with tremendous potential for accelerating the translation of basic research to useful discoveries like new drugs and therapies. These approaches are often referred to collectively as “open science,” yet both the term and its underlying principles have yet to be defined. This hamstrings efforts to connect the important initiatives that are working to further the development of open science in nations across the globe.
