For2026 Session 2: Data Sharing and Management

The FOR2026 Conference -- The Future of Open Research: Reliable, Responsible, Equitable -- was held in Munich from 4 to 6 May, 2026. The full conference programme may be found here: https://opensciencestudies.eu/for-2026-conference/for2026-program/ The future of open research is uncertain. On the one hand, decades of activism and institutional support have placed the value and significance of intelligent strategies and formats for open research (and its dissemination) beyond doubt. Openness is central to the development of trustworthy, accountable, collaborative, and socially engaged knowledge. On the other hand, open research measures need to be tailored to diverse research conditions around the globe and across domains, which in turn requires substantial investment, local engagement, responsiveness to the ethical and social dimensions of inquiry, and attention to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The conference brought together scholars, activists, and policymakers to consider this challenging landscape and discuss the future of open research. The goal was to facilitate the development of open research practices explicitly geared to serve the public interest, which involves interrogating what may constitute that ‘public interest’ to different audiences and in different locations around the world.
