Office of Science and Technology Policy to hold open science listening sessions

[Laura Bies]

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy will host a series of virtual listening sessions to explore perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for advancing open science in the United States and solutions that might be implemented by the U.S. Government. These sessions, part of a Year of Open Science  announced by the White House in January 2023 to advance open science policies across the federal government, will focus on the needs, priorities, and experiences of the early career researcher community. Registration is required to attend.

The four upcoming sessions all have a specific focus and target participant group:
