FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Aug 14, 2025 at 7:32 AM Subject: 14th OAI Workshop will take place online 10-14 November To: <LIBLICENSE-L@listserv.crl.edu> 2025From: Danny Kingsley <danny@dannykingsley.com> Date: Mon, Aug 11, 2025 at 6:10 [Apologies for cross posting] *OAI14 – Open Science in a changing world* The 14th OAI Workshop will take place *online 10-14 November 2025*. This event is a premier global event on Open Science. The theme of OAI14 is *Open Science in a changing world.* Speakers and talks are added to the program continuously as soon as they are confirmed. Make sure to go to this page to get the latest info. - https://oai.events/oai14/. The registration form to register for the conference is also available here. Registration is *free* and open to anyone across the globe. - *Session 1* on 10 November is devoted to *Research Security and Openness*. The shifting geopolitical climate, marked by protectionism, restricted mobility, and disinformation, necessitates a critical reassessment of how Open Science can coexist with growing security concerns. - *Session 2* on 11 November is on *Open Infrastructures*. This session has contributions from open infrastructure organisations that facilitate the storage and availability of research outputs. They will discuss the challenge in achieving sustainability, and the infrastructure needs of regions in which they operate. - *Session 3* on 12 November looks at *Navigating AI in Open Science*. What is the impact of AI in the Open Science landscape? What are the challenges and benefits it brings? - *Session 4* on 13 November considers *Commercialization and Open Science*. When many research-performing organisations strongly encourage entrepreneurship, how does this fit with Open Science? What is the view of commercial providers on Open Science? And with new models such as Diamond Open Access, what is the financial model which should underpin it? - *Session 5* on 14 November looks at *Research Integrity*. Research integrity is increasingly at stake: retractions for scientific misconduct are worryingly growing on a daily basis, paper mills are flourishing, reproducibility is in crisis, and it seems to be strictly connected to the current research assessment criteria. The widespread misuse of generative AI is squaring the issue. How can how Open Science practices help get back to the “fundamentals” of research, which is “show me” and not “trust me” In addition to the conference, this year we are supporting satellite events worldwide <https://oai.events/oai14/satellite-events/>. As well as joining us live, consider sharing the conference with your local community by organising or attending a satellite event. I am organising a satellite event in Australia - reach out if you want more information on how to go about it. So, do not fail to register for this virtual Conference at https://oai.events/oai14/oai14-registration-form/. It is a week devoted to seeing the path that Open Science should take in a changing world.
