#OSIU2025
OSIU2025 serves as a platform for presenting and discussing research, initiatives, and practical case studies related to the implementation of open science and innovation. The forum covers a broad range of topics—from policy development, infrastructure creation, and service provision for supporting open science, to the cultivation of a sustainable ecosystem through human capacity development. Particular emphasis is placed on the practical implementation of openness principles in science, technology, and innovation.
About conference
The State Scientific and Technical Library of Ukraine, in cooperation with TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology University Library, and with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, is pleased to invite you to participate in the Fourth International Conference “Open Science and Innovation in Ukraine 2025”, which will take place online on 22–23 October 2025. The event is organized within the framework of the International Open Access Week 2025 (https://www.openaccessweek.org/theme/uk).
The Fourth International Conference “Open Science and Innovation in Ukraine 2025” aims to foster dialogue among stakeholders on the effective adoption of open science practices in Ukraine. Key challenges to be addressed during the event include ensuring sustainable and uninterrupted access to research infrastructure, open access to research outputs, enhancing the national research assessment system, and aligning national policies with the European Union’s requirements and best practices in open science, including standards for research data exchange.
The conference will provide an open space for professional exchange of experience, ideas, and best practices. It offers a unique opportunity for cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers, policymakers, infrastructure providers, innovators, and policy developers. The expected outcomes of the event include strengthened cooperation, the formation of new partnerships, and the development of a shared vision for integrating Ukrainian science into the European Research Area through open science and innovation mechanisms.
Target Audience
We warmly welcome participation from researchers, heads and staff of research institutions, managers and administrators of institutional repositories, principal investigators and research team members, research office professionals at higher education institutions, IT specialists, scholarly journal publishers, developers of scientific information platforms and systems, postgraduate students and early-career researchers, project managers, business leaders, startup co-founders, members of library associations, and scientists working on artificial intelligence-related research.
