The forum brought together numerous outstanding scholars engaged in scientific research and open science. Nine academicians and over 90 expert representatives gathered from research institutions, universities, enterprises, and public institutions to explore the development trends of open science in driving research paradigm innovation under new circumstances. The discussions centered on open science paradigms and innovative ecosystem integration, focusing on three key topics: Open Science and International Collaboration, Open Innovation in Open Science, and Infrastructure Sharing in Open Science.
The forum also reviewed the UNESCO "Open for Science10" initiative led by Academician YANG Wei. An innovative discussion framework was utilized to facilitate in-depth dialogue between young scholars, multidisciplinary participants, and leading academic experts.
