Open and commercial don’t have to be at odds.

At #OSFair2025, IOI’s Emma Green led a panel challenging the divide between open and commercial worlds — and highlighting why bridging them is crucial for sustainable research infrastructure.

One of the key takeaways was that many in open science still lack the business skills to build viable, long-term partnerships. Bridging values with sustainability is key.

In addition to providing the closing keynote at @osfair , I had the privilege of joining colleagues on a panel about the strange bedfellows of #openscience organized by my kickass friend Sara Rouhi. No holds barred in this frank discussion about efforts to co-opt the movement by distasteful types: https://www.youtube.com/live/jgDClihHi3k?si=lgc1vffQYTfDUe1T&t=2h1m0s

Contemplating what I'm doing with my life instead of not joining #OSFair2025 and #RSEcon2025..

At least #OSFair2025 is recorded but this week has been mega hectic and I can't even get to that  

I'm hoping to land in more quiet times and do some more tooting soon!

Just back from the @osfair 2025 at CERN, where I was very proud to introduce the Principles of Open Science Monitoring, the first output of @osmi, in a fantastic panel led by Agata Morka, with Iain Hrynaszkiewicz and Kirsty Merrett.

We had a wonderful audience and lots of questions. I also had the priviledge to visit the antimatter factory, a must-see ! And of course, as always in conferences, I was happy to connect in-person with #OpenScience friends.

A few highlights that resonated with me:

✔️ The alignment (or misalignment) between EU and national policies remains a key tension point, with success stories but also gaps
✔️ Reforming research assessment is still crucial if we want open practices to be truly rewarded, BUT let’s not create an open-science index
✔️Finally, the broader context matters: politics, AI, and global competition are shaping the future of science just as much as infrastructures and policies

Also very impressed by the work of @swheritage, which carried out a detailed analysis of the software produced by CERN 👏 #OSFair2025

📢 Call for translators en français #OSFair2025 @osfair and #NISOPlus25 @NISOInfo

You may have attended the talks on the Publication Facts Label, and we have a call to action if you'd like to contribute!

The #PFLabel is ready for its production release for OJS v3.3-3.5 in 9 languages but it is ~ 460 words short en français and we'd love to include French in the release.

Can you help? Learn more about the PFL and the call:

Hope you're all having a great time!
