UNESCO Open Science Recommendation
Dear University Grants Committee Secretariat,
In light of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, which asks that Member States (which includes Hong Kong, via the representation of China) to take whatever legislative or other steps may be required to meet these, what measures has the University Grants Committee started taking to look into aligning their policies with these?
As implementation of the Recommendation is starting to be monitored and pushed further at a global level there any new policies on how to follow these recommendations, and have there been any meetings and committees set up yet to address the intention of the recommendations to influence the development of national laws and practices? Has the UNESCO Open Science working group contacted the UGC to communicate any of this and start the monitoring process?
Yours faithfully,
Scott Edmunds
