Science, No Fiction: Touchdown. The Environmental Open Science Starship Returns to Earth – The Next Generation of Open Scientists!
Wed, 30 Apr, 19:00–20:00 (CEST) Room N1
Wed, 19:00
Looking up to the stars: we’ll take flight into the Open Science Universe, identifying what’s already in orbit—what scientific starships can reach and how we can maximise these discoveries. We’ll envision the scientific breakthroughs awaiting us through Open Science and the tools needed to make them a reality.
Looking back to Earth: As we return to base, we’ll assess the obstacles and challenges that stand in the way of achieving this ambitious vision. What will it take to break down these barriers and boldly go where no scientist has gone before? Together, we’ll brainstorm creative solutions to shift our mindset and accelerate progress.
After light-years of exploration, the Starship will return to Earth loaded with transformative methods, new opportunities, and innovative solutions for impactful research in Earth and Environmental Science. Drawing insights from stellar initiatives like AUSCOPE, EARTHSCOPE, Geo-Inquire, EarthChem, and ENVRI—along with its moons like EPOS, EMSO, LifeWatch, and ICOS—we’ll chart a course for a bold new era of Open Science, powered by alien-derived intelligence!
This is a gathering of The Next Generation of researchers who have embraced Open Science principles—leveraging open data repositories, publishing in open access, and using publicly funded large research infrastructures to improve the quality of research. Hear their stories, their struggles, how each small step they took led to a giant leap in their careers and research, and share your own Open Science Space Missions.
Join us to see how their work and careers have been enhanced by Open Science and to explore the possibilities ahead. This Town Hall Meeting builds upon the sessions ESSI 2.2, ESSI 3.1, ESSI 4.4 ESSI 3.2 and ITS1.17/ESSI4.1, showcasing successful integration across disciplines and borders, driving us closer to true Open Science.
The oral presentations are given in a hybrid format supported by a Zoom meeting featuring on-site and virtual presentations. The button to access the Zoom meeting appears just before the time block starts.
