Introduction
Update from Andreas Veispak, Head of Unit, eInfrastructure and Science Cloud, DG CNECT, European Commission and Athanasios Karalopoulos, Policy Officer - EOSC, DG RTD, European Commission
Defining open science - how open does scientific research need to be? Where do we draw the lines?
Progress to date – how far has open science advanced in Europe and elsewhere? Is Europe a trail-blazer or a laggard?
How much impact will the EOSC have on open science? Will change be incremental or will it open the flood gates?
