Dear colleagues

From 8 to 10 February 2023, the 3rd United Nations Open Science Conference, “Accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals, Democratizing the Record of Science”, will bring together policy makers, representatives of intergovernmental organizations, researchers, scholars, librarians, publishers and civil society.

Under the three main themes

• Equity in open scholarship,
• Reforming scientific publishing, and
• Strengthening the science-policy-society interface

conference registrants will be able to participate in discussions about the present and future of open science practices for the SDGs and reaffirm that scientific progress and its applications are for the benefit of all.

NASA has declared 2023 the Year of Open Science to celebrate the benefits and successes of open science, and inspire more scientists to join the movement. Ultimately, the success of the Year of Open Science will be driven by collaborations with individuals, teams, and organizations who are ready to transform the culture of scientific research into one that celebrates openness and inclusion.
