Knowledge creation is a collaborative process including synergies between various disciplines and stakeholders alongside the academic sphere. As the scientific questions we aim to tackle become more complex, the need for interdisciplinary partnerships across different fields increases. In this endeavor, open science acts as a bridge, connecting fields and enabling diverse communities—from professionals to amateurs, and from students to industry innovators to actively participate and contribute in scientific efforts. But establishing practices and policies that foster co-creation and engagement require strategic planning. What novel strategies and protocols are currently being developed to improve accessibility and openness in science? How can these efforts lead to a more comprehensive and collaborative interdisciplinary research environment? Building on the momentum of previous years, this session will showcase successful ongoing open science projects and lessons learned. We will also explore potential future endeavors to expand public engagement and promote interdisciplinarity in planetary science.
