Session 1

2. The Landscape of Open Science in Canada Through a Neuroscience Lens

Amanda Rande (University of Calgary)

8/11/26, 8:30 AM

Session 1

When thinking about implementing open science into your research practice, it can feel overwhelming. It is not only a practical and procedural shift of how science is conducted, but also a cultural change with broad and lasting impacts. Taking a panoramic view of open science, we see that the core principles are transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration, and these principles are what...

3. IUCR as a global community facilitator for the common good

Kruna Vukmirovic (IUCr)

8/11/26, 9:00 AM

Session 1

This contribution will outline how Open Science is currently implemented across IUCr journals, using the Union’s journals' portfolio to examine practice at the intersection of publications, data and methods. We will focus on how the journals' strategy advances four key pillars: open access to research outputs, routine inclusion of FAIR data and metadata, openness in methods and software, and...

4. The Cambridge Structural Database: A Pioneer of FAIR Data for 60 Years

Dr Suzanna Ward (CCDC)

8/11/26, 9:30 AM

Session 1

For 60 years, the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)[1] has shown how a community can build and maintain a resource that is both accessible and genuinely usable. Long before the FAIR Data Principles were first formulated, the original vision for the CSD helped ensure that structural data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. Today the database contains more than 1.4 million...

5. Enabling Open Science in Germany: DAPHNE4NFDI as an example

Bridget Murphy (DESY)

8/11/26, 10:15 AM

Session 2

The non-profit association Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) e.V., founded in October 2020 coordinates activities to develop research data management in Germany. More than 300 institutions are members including science organisations, universities, higher education institutions, non-university research institutions, scientific societies and associations. The vision of NFDI [1] is...

6. The state of Open Science in Japan - TBC

TBC

Session 2

7. The state of Open Science in the UK

Simon Coles

8/11/26, 11:15 AM

Session 2

Open Science is now a relatively mature concept, but what does it mean and are we really practicing and achieving it? The FAIR principles are generally considered to be a way to guide Open Science and they have been very well communicated, but to what extent are they being adhered to? Further, ‘Open’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘free’ and there needs to be an appreciation that for Open Science to...

8. The impact of the Crystallography Open Database on Open Science - TBC

Saulius Grazulius

8/11/26, 11:45 AM

Session 2

9. XASDB and Beyond: Modernizing Data Accessibility at the Canadian Light Source

Denis Spasyuk (CLS)

8/11/26, 1:00 PM

Session 3

Open Science is often discussed as a high level policy, but for the Canadian Light Source (CLS), it is a functional reality that requires custom digital infrastructure. This talk details the devel-opment of XASDB, an open access platform designed to move X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) data from fragmented beamline data to a unified web based environment using stand-ard data structures....

10. Driving Proprietary Research Success with Open Science Innovation

Lisa Keefe (IMCA-CAT , USA)

8/11/26, 1:30 PM

Session 3

11. The challenges of industry adoption of Open Science

Elizabeth Shotton (Diamond Light Source (UK))

8/11/26, 2:00 PM

Session 3

Open science is increasingly shaping how industry engages with large-scale research infrastructures, including synchrotrons. This talk explores how open science principles can coexist with proprietary research, enabling industrial users to balance confidentiality, competitiveness, and wider scientific impact.
Established and emerging access models for industrial usage of synchrotrons will be...

12. Open publications and their underpinning data and open software code

John Helliwell

8/11/26, 2:50 PM

Session 4

I know that open research is a good thing to ensure my laboratory’s research findings are as reproducible as possible. Accordingly, as a laboratory leader, I have made all our scientific outputs as available as possible. This involved, as resources grew, such as open access of our publications, protein structure coordinates and structure factors free to deposit and use via the PDB and, as...

13. Global Open Science in China - TBC

TBC

8/11/26, 3:20 PM

Session 4

14. Global Open Research Commons (GORC): a model for improved interoperability and collaboration

Charles Woodford (RDA)

8/11/26, 3:50 PM

Session 4

The coordination of data infrastructure is on the rise. “Open Science Commons” or “Data Commons” provide a shared virtual space for data and services. The Research Data Alliance Global Open Research Commons (RDA GORC) groups are working to support coordination amongst national, pan-national and domain specific organizations such as the Digital Research Alliance of Canada and the European Open...

15. Open Discussion
