Global Research Initiative on Open Science (GRIOS)

As Board Chair @floriannaudet.bsky.social put it: "Our first meeting showed the tremendous potential of this collaboration to deliver the rigorous, evidence-based guidance that Open Science policies need."
The first systematic reviews are coming.

Blog post Knowledge is power: GRIOS, evidence and Open Science policy An Interview with Marin Dacos

Just published: Knowledge is power: GRIOS, evidence and #OpenScience policy
Interview with @marind.bsky.social, Chair of GRIOS, on why open science policy needs evidence-based decisions, and how funders, institutions and the #research community can contribute.
www.grios.org/knowledge-is...

This is such important news coverage! The "proving direct effect is tricky" part really resonates - that's the challenge the field needs to tackle systematically. The @pathos-project.bsky.social did crucial work mapping what we know and don't know.

GRIOS - Global Research Initiative on Open Science

[2/3] This is precisely why @grios-openscience.bsky.social was launched: to systematically review existing #research, identify knowledge gaps, and give funders and policymakers evidence-based guidance. Not just for #OpenAccess and #data, but across all dimensions of open science. www.grios.org

Is ‘open science’ delivering benefits? Major study finds proof is sparse It’s hard to measure social and economic impacts of making papers and data free, researchers say

[1/3] Worth reading in @science.org: really important, comprehensive work on #OpenScience impact by the @pathos-project.bsky.social. Some benefits are well-documented (citations, citizen science), but strong evidence for broader economic/societal impacts still sparse. www.science.org/content/arti...

Open funder metadata is essential for true research transparency - Impact of Social Sciences Funder metadata is vital to understanding where research comes from & how it is used. But, to be truly effective it needs to be open to all.

Blog post: GRIOS at Metascience 2025: building bridges between evidence and policy

Our reflections from #Metascience25 are now up in our blog, incl. what we learned about #OpenScience from national frameworks, the Metascience Alliance, an IPCC-like proposal and what comes next for evidence-based Open Science policy.

Quote by Marc Schiltz, GRIOS ambassador

#OpenScience has wide support in principle but implementation is challenging. What helps researchers share work openly? What barriers exist?
As Marc Schiltz, our ambassador, notes, this drives GRIOS mission. We'll use #MetaResearch to develop evidence-based policy recommendations. www.grios.org/news

Quote by Hans de Jonge, Director of Open Science NL at NWO

"As open science becomes mainstream, it is more important than ever to base our actions on solid evidence", highlights @hldejonge.bsky.social .
Led by experts from 🇫🇷 🇫🇮 🇳🇱, GRIOS will identify enablers & barriers.

🌅 Day 2 of #Metascience2025 winding down... Time for poster sessions!
Join us at 17:45 UK time to continue the conversations in a more relaxed setting.
We'll chat about how @grios-openscience.bsky.social is working to bridge the gap between research evidence and #OpenScience policies.

These discussions reinforce exactly what @grios-openscience.bsky.social aims to achieve: bridge evidence gaps and foster international dialogue that strengthens #OpenScience for everyone.
