Dear Friends,

We would like to invite you to the conference “Open Science Works!” in the
European Parliament on October 15th from 9:00 to 11:00 (room PHS 5B001)
under the auspices of MEP Marietje Schaake with the support of the
TransAtlantic Consumer Dialogue (TACD).

“Open”, “access” and “new innovation models” are becoming new buzz words in
many quarters of academia, business and civil society. Nowhere is this
discussion as vigorous as in the field of scientific and academic research.
Intense debate and new proposals of legislation are increasingly present on
these subjects in EU Institutions.

We shall consider “open access scientific publishing”, “open data”, “open
science” and “open education”. These all pose difficult questions
concerning the protection of the public good, scientific responsibility and
the adaptation ofscience to the digital age. Also at stake are promoting
new business models, saving public money and, even, saving lives.




*Programme*

Introductory remarks by MEP Marietje Schaake

Christoph Bruch, Helmholz Association, Berlin:  "Text and Data Mining: the
