Abstract

There is a global movement – open science – focused on rebalancing academia with the aim of delivering contributions to a better world. Open science includes open access (for example open access articles and books), FAIR data & software, public engagement (including for example community engaged learning and stakeholder involvement), open education, and an alternative form of recognition and rewards in academia. DORA (2012), the Leiden Manifesto (2015), COARA (2022) and the Barcelona declaration (2024) represent global initiatives to change academic cultures, structures and systems. The EU, for example, has already adopted multiple open science principles in research assessment linked to research grants. The open science movement has gained a lot of attention in the Netherlands and at Utrecht University the 5-year open science program (2019-2023) has moved into the next phase towards implementation (2024-2026). This open science transformation goes hand in hand with challenges at micro, meso and macro level. At Utrecht University we build on the knowledge and experiences through organizational learning, room for experiments and cooperation with other universities.
