Symposium “Confronting injustice through Open Science” in Amsterdam

In this symposium, we will explore how Open Science can help to fight injustice, by centering decolonial and anticolonial Open Science initiatives. Together, we aim to raise awareness about the neglect justice in mainstream Open Science practices and explore actionable pathways to embed justice and equity as fundamental values of Open Science.

For this, we will specially focus on three topics related to injustice and Open Science:

1. Diamond open access publishing as an alternative to working with commercial publishers.
2. Advocating for contextual, rather than absolute, openness as a means of centering justice.
3. Expanding the definition of ‘science’ in Open Science to be more inclusive to diverse knowledge production approaches.
