Open Science: Sharing Knowledge in the Global Century is about how we address the profound challenges which now confront humanity – climate, the food crisis, environmental degradation, resource scarcity and disease – through science communication.
These call for the sharing of scientific knowledge among billions of humans, on a scale never before attempted.
