Welcome to Paris Open Science
Join us for an unforgettable un-conference* experience
in Paris, France -- New dates to be announced -- exploring Open Science
from an Interdisciplinary approach
Science Ouverte
*By 'un-conference' we mean more interactive, more dialogue, more multi-directional. In a word, more FUN!
Join us for the Paris Open Science conference NEW DATES TBA - where we will explore the latest developments in space science and technology, fusion & fission energy, robotics, AI, food and AgTech, climate science, ocean tech, and synthetic biology - all from an Open Science and
interdisciplinary approach.
Our conference is built on the core principles of #OpenScience including transparency, reproducibility, inclusion, and accessibility. With leading experts in the field and immersive experiences, Paris Open Science is the place to be for anyone interested in the future of science and technology.
Transparency
Accessibility
Inclusivity
Reproducibility
1. FUSION ENERGY
Exploring advancements in fusion energy research through the lens of open science.
3. AI
Investigating how AI can be a positive catalyst for scientific and engineering R&D.
2. CLIMATE SCIENCE
Examining the current state of climate science and its role in addressing global challenges through an #openscience perspective.
4. SPACE
Discussing the latest developments in space science and technology and their impact on interdisciplinary scientific research.
5. ROBOTICS
Implementation of robotics across disciplines is feasible. What is the role of Open Science in accelerating this,
7. OCEAN TECH
Cross-disciplinary approaches to improving life under water.
6. FOOD & AG TECH
Breakthroughs in food and agricultural technology and sciences are fueling a transition to a more regenerative agriculture and food industry. Can #openscience accelerate this transition?
8. SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY
A bleeding edge scientific discipline, not without its controversies.
A PLURIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
Why pluridisciplinary? With all the many conferences our team and collaborators have attended, we received overwhelming feedback that one of the things science and STEM research needs most is to break down the silos that keep researchers, scientists, academics, policy makers and Sci Comm professionals from easily collaborating. This is true within disciplines but also between disciplines. It's no secret that robotics are transforming the FoodTech industry; Fusion energy scientists and engineers are fascinated by the prospect that nuclear fusion may one day fuel rockets to Mars; And space technologies inform greatly our Climate research and Ocean Technologies. To name just a few. So cross-pollination is one of PoPS guiding influences. We
hope you'll join us in building pluridisciplinary bonds between and amongst us.
About Open Science/ Science Ouverte
Science wants to be free” in an adaptation of Stewart Brand’s famous sentence.
I am not just confident because open science is clearly going in the same direction as history but also because it is essential for our future.
Open science is the key to achieving these 3 ambitions : That research enhances international dialogue by fully including Southern hemisphere countries, that it should produce knowledge which fuels the innovations that respond to our societal requirements and that the knowledge produced should irrigate public debate and political decision-making
Quotes by
Frédérique Vidal
former French Minister of Higher Education, Research & Innovation
'Ouvrir la Science' Dec. 6th, 2018
Open science is neither a current of thought, nor a fashion, a posture or a technical or editorial preference. It is a force that challenges established practices and mentalities, a gesture that liberates the dynamics of progress through knowledge and it is a self- evident necessity for anyone who wants to give knowledge the power to transform the world.
