The event is organized within the framework of the International Open Access Week 2025 (https://www.openaccessweek.org/theme/uk).
The Fourth International Conference “Open Science and Innovation in Ukraine 2025” aims to foster dialogue among stakeholders on the effective adoption of open science practices in Ukraine. Key challenges to be addressed during the event include ensuring sustainable and uninterrupted access to research infrastructure, open access to research outputs, enhancing the national research assessment system, and aligning national policies with the European Union’s requirements and best practices in open science, including standards for research data exchange.
The conference will provide an open space for professional exchange of experience, ideas, and best practices. It offers a unique opportunity for cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers, policymakers, infrastructure providers, innovators, and policy developers. The expected outcomes of the event include strengthened cooperation, the formation of new partnerships, and the development of a shared vision for integrating Ukrainian science into the European Research Area through open science and innovation mechanisms.
