The United Nations Dag Hammarskjöld Library in the Department of Global Communications would like to invite you to a virtual panel discussion:
Science as a Shared Journey: Engaging Communities, Building Trust, and Advancing Open Science for the SDGs
May 7 | 15:30-16:45
The right to participate in and benefit from science remains fundamental to human progress and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Open Science is collaborative and inclusive, allows new social actors to engage in scientific processes, contributes to the democratization of knowledge, upholds scientific integrity and addresses systemic inequalities and enclosures of knowledge. Open Science, with its focus on participatory methods and citizen science initiatives, is integral to supporting SDG localization. Through examples like community-led environmental monitoring and crowd-sourced health data collection, citizen science, an integral component of Open Science, has demonstrated the power of inclusive knowledge creation. Science cannot function as a public good if the public cannot engage with it.
Building momentum toward the 4th Open Science and Open Scholarship Conference, this side event will convene diverse stakeholders – researchers, librarians, publishers and citizen science initiatives – to discuss the mechanisms through which public contributions and permanent access to scientific discoveries and innovations can strengthen public trust in scientific and knowledge organizations. This dialogue aims to produce actionable recommendations for scientific institutions to meaningfully engage diverse publics in knowledge creation and validation processes. These actionable recommendations will be brought forward both in the United Nations High-level Political Forum in July 2025 and in the roundtable discussion during the 4th Open Science and Open Scholarship Conference in October 2025, creating pathways for institutional change.
