Open science: a perspective from the Middle East and North Africa regions: Kamran Robert Kardan and Emily Choynowski Artwork

The INSPIRING STEM Podcast

Scientific and academic scholarly publishing is a dynamic and rapidly changing ecosystem with data and knowledge at its centre. The fundamental change is in adopting open science, the practice of freely sharing scientific knowledge in a way that allows others to collaborate and build upon that knowledge to accelerate research applications. The INSPIRING STEM Podcast will interview key opinion leaders and organisations working to advance, and quite often, to disrupt the status quo. (Photo: Photo by Jonathan Velasquez on Unsplash)
