Workshop: Inclusive Open Science – From Global Asymmetries to Pluriversal Design

The development of transparent and sustainable open infrastructures in research does not guarantee a global advancement of inclusive open science. Currently, there are several pathways towards open science that co-exist conflictingly at the global scale, and the tensions between them are not only determined by the degrees of openness and closedness, but relate to the poles of inclusiveness and exclusiveness. Within this workshop, we intend to discuss these tensions with presenters from institutions based in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Netherlands, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States, and Ukraine.

Organized by Prof. Dr. Michelle Christensen and Prof. Dr. Fernanda Beigel, a collaboration between the Einstein Center Digital Future, the Berlin University Alliance Center for Open and Responsible Research (CORe), the Berlin Center for Global Engagement (BCGE / BUA), and the Research Center on the Circulation of Knowledge (CECIC, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo) Mendoza-Argentina.
