[InetBib] Invitation to the 2nd UN Open Science Conference, 21-23 July 2021



Dear Colleagues,

The time has come for the Dag Hammarskjöld Library to host at the United 
Nations the latest discourse on Open Science, and to reconnect with scholarly 
communications communities around the world.

I am therefore writing to invite you to the Second United Nations Open Science 
Conference, From Tackling the Pandemic to Addressing Climate 
Change<https://www.un.org/library/OS21>. This three-day virtual Conference will 
take place on 21-23 July 2021 and is organized by the Department of Global 
Communications, Dag Hammarskjöld Library and the Department of Economic and 
Social Affairs, Division of Sustainable Development Goals.

The conference will bring the global discussion on the connections between Open 
Science and Climate Action to the United Nations in New York and will highlight 
national and IGO policies, and Open Science initiatives and infrastructures 
from around the world. Policy makers, IGOs, librarians, publishers and research 
practitioners will engage into a public dialogue focusing on what Open Science 
has learned – and is still learning – from tackling COVID-19, and how this can 
be applied into actions addressing the global climate crisis, at the interface 
of science, technology, policy and research. In cooperation with the Scholarly 
Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC), the Conference will also 
engage with early career leaders advancing openness in research and education 
at a time of lockdowns, and has invited them into conversation with established 
leaders and policy makers in this key area for the UN 2030 Agenda. (Conference 
Twitter hashtag: #OpenScienceUN).

More information on the still evolving Conference programme, including 
registration, is available on the website<https://www.un.org/library/OS21>.

Please feel free to share this invitation with your networks.

Kind regards,
Janine Pickardt
