[Portugal] Fwd: "Open Innovation, Open Science, Open to the World"

Dear colleague,


The way that science works is fundamentally changing and an equally
important transformation is taking place in how companies and societies
innovate. The advent of digital technologies is making science and
innovation more open, collaborative and global. In this light Commissioner
Carlos Moedas has set three goals for EU research and innovation policy:
Open Innovation, Open Science and Open to the World. These three goals were
first discussed by Commissioner Moedas in a speech in June 2015, showing
how research and innovation contribute across the political priorities of
the European Commission. These goals do not represent a new policy
initiative or funding programme as such, but a way to reinforce existing
programmes such as Horizon 2020, and reinvigorate existing policies such as
the European Research Area. The book *Open Innovation, Open Science, Open
to the World - a vision for Europe* brings together some of the key
conceptual insights behind the "Three Os" and highlights actions that are
already taking place or are being prepared at time of publication in May
2016. It is hoped that the ideas and initiatives described in the book will
stimulate anyone interested in European research and innovation, and
encourage debate and lead to new ideas on what the European Union should
do, should not do, or do differently.[1]

Extract from the book on Open Science below

*A Vision of the Future*

The year is 2030. Open Science has become a reality and is offering a whole
range of new, unlimited opportunities for research and discovery worldwide.
Scientists, citizens, publishers, research institutions, public and private
research funders, students and education professionals as well as companies
from around the globe are sharing an open, virtual environment, called The
Lab. Open source communities and scientists, publishing companies and the
high-tech industry have pushed the EU and UNESCO to develop common open
research standards, establishing a virtual learning gateway, offering free
public access to all scientific data as well as to all publicly funded
research. The OECD as well as many countries from Africa, Asia, and Latin
America have adopted these new standards, allowing users to share a common
platform to exchange knowledge at a global scale. High-tech start-ups and
small public-private partnerships have spread across the globe to become
the service providers of the new digital science learning network,
empowering researchers, citizens, educators, innovators and students
worldwide to share knowledge by using the best available technology. Free
and open, high quality and crowd-sourced science, focusing on the grand
societal challenges of our time, shapes the daily life of a new generation
of researchers.

I would recommend you to read this book for getting a glimpse of future
developments. There is also lot of synergies and will add momentum for our
vision for *Open Geospatial Science* [2],[3],[4].

Best wishes,
