FOCUS ON OPEN SCIENCE
CHAPTER XXXVIII: PARIS
An event organised by:
Scientific Knowledge Services and in collaboration with UCL Press and LIBER (Association of European Research Libraries).
The Challenge of Open Science
Science describes the current transition in how research is undertaken, how the outputs are stored and disseminated, how researchers collaborate, how success is measured and how researchers are rewarded for Open approaches. Open Science has the potential to transform the research landscape. What is the role of academic libraries in supporting this transition? Is there indeed a role for libraries at all? What are the current views and agendas in various European countries? How do we differentiate regionally and nationally?
The aim of the Focus on Open Science Workshops
Started in 2015, we aim through these workshops to address the challenges posed by Open Science, using the 8 pillars of Open Science identified by the European Commission in its Open Science Policy Platform.
The mission statement for the workshops is: "Promote the concept of, values and best practices in the Open Science to European communities, with particular reference to libraries."
Why are these Workshops important?
We believe that such Workshops offer a practitioner experience, grounded in the principles of Open Science, and opportunities for networking at the local level. The Workshop format offers both on-the-spot interactions and follow-up opportunities.

Presentation:
From rhetoric to practice – the role of the UCL Office for Open Science & Scholarshipg
This paper will use UCL (University College London) as a case study for the development of Open Science practice. The UCL Office for Open Science has developed from a library offering and now co-ordinated Open Science activity across the university. The paper will explain how the Office of Open Science works, how it is staffed and financed, and do a deep dive into one of the most successful of UCL’s Open Science developments, the creation of UCL Press.
