Science, in a broader sense, can be understood as a process of collecting and analyzing data, publishing research results, and using the obtained knowledge. Open Science is a movement aimed at making scientific research (including publications, data, physical samples and software) a transparent and accessible knowledge, shared at all levels of society and oriented towards solving our most persistent problems.
During the discussions Dr. Petru Bogatencov made a presentation entitled “NI4OS: European Open Science Cloud Initiative – Support of Open Science in the South Eastern Europe” about the NI4OS-Europe project, specific activities planned for the Republic of Moldova in the framework of the project and perspectives of establishment of the National Open Science Initiative.
