This paper is from Gisela H. Govaart, Simon M. Hofmann, Evelyn Medawar. Ever-increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions narrow the timeframe for humanity to mitigate the climate crisis. Scientific research activities are resource demanding and, consequently, contribute to climate change; at the same time, scientists have a central role in advancing knowledge, also on climate-related topics. In this opinion piece, we discuss (1) how open science – adopted on an individual as well as on a systemic level – can contribute to making research more environmentally friendly, and (2) how open science practices can make research activities more efficient and thereby foster scientific progress and solutions to the climate crisis. While many building blocks are already at hand, systemic changes are necessary in order to create academic environments that support open science practices and encourage scientists from all fields to become more carbon-conscious, ultimately contributing to a sustainable future.
The Sustainability Argument for Open Science
Sharan, Malvika In this talk, I discuss open science as a framework to ensure that all our research components can be easily accessed, openly examined and built upon by others. I will introduce The Turing Way - an open source, open collaboration and community-driven guide to reproducible, ethical and inclusive data science and research. Drawing insights from the project, I will share best practices that researchers should integrate to ensure the highest reproducible and ethical standards from the start of their projects so that their research work is easy to reuse and reproduce at all stages of the development. All attendees will leave the talk understanding the many dimensions of openness and how they can participate in an inclusive, kind and inspiring open source ecosystem as they collaboratively seek to improve research culture. All questions and contributions are welcome at the GitHub repository: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way.

OpenAIRE OAWeek - Research communities & climate action; being open to drive change Description This session will invite expert researchers to discuss their scientific impact in climate related topics. Why are they embracing open science practices in their current research workflows? How are they using the resources provided in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC)? Is open access enabling researchers to contribute better to Climate Change solutions? If you’re curious about these innovative initiatives by the research communities, make sure you attend! Speakers: Anne Fouilloux (RELIANCE) Anabela de Oliveira (EGI-ACE) Bjorn Backeberg (C-SCALE) Prof Spyridon Rapsomanikis, Athena RC, NEANIAS
