European IP Helpdesk Bulletin / December 2023, Open Science

Open Science, as an approach to scientific processes focused on quick and transparent knowledge and data sharing, has long been a policy priority of the European Commission and has been widely promoted. By making results and data generated in research and innovation projects accessible to all societal actors, other researchers, innovators and the public can find and reuse these for their specific needs. In this way, further research is encouraged, novel solutions can be found, and complex challenges can be tackled. This Bulletin issue seeks to gather different expert perspectives and viewpoints on Open Science practices while spotlighting related intellectual property issues and questions.
