6: Open Science ‐ Entering into a New Era for Science:
We support taking the following actions:
i. Establish a working group on open science with the aims of sharing
open science policies, exploring supportive incentive structures, and
identifying good practices for promoting increasing access to the
results of publicly funded research, including scientific data and
publications, coordinating as appropriate with the Organisation for
Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) and Research Data
Alliance (RDA), and other relevant groups; and
ii. Promote international coordination and collaboration to develop
the appropriate technology, infrastructure, including digital
networks, and human resources for the effective utilization of open
science for the benefit of all.
