Open Science 2030 in the Netherlands: NPOS2030 Ambition Document and Rolling Agenda

Abstract

Open Science is a global transition to making scientific research practices more open and collaborative, for greater scientific and societal impact. The goal of the Netherlands National Open Science Programme (NPOS) is to facilitate all national stakeholders that are jointly taking responsibility for the Open Science Agenda in the Netherlands, in alignment with international initiatives. From 2023 on, this facilitating role will be taken up by the new National Initiative on Open Science led by Dutch Research Council NWO, due to the fact that the ministry of Education, Culture and Science will make 20 million euros per year available for Open Science until 2032.

This Ambition Document includes the guiding principles that underlie our shared endeavours for the years to come; the vision for Open Science in the year 2030, the strategic goals we are working towards, and cross-cutting requirements for all actions to be taken up. An open consultation in which 78 institutions, networks, communities and individuals gave their constructive feedback, was part of the process of defining our shared ambitions in the Ambition Document.
