Knowledge Creation as an Open and Global Enterprise
Knowledge Creation as an Open and Global Enterprise
April 2023
This presentation, given by Dr. Yuko Harayama of Tohoku University served as the closing keynote to our 2023 NISO Plus Conference.
Dr. Harayama offered this as the abstract for her talk:
Science, as one of the major depositories of knowledge creation, has achieved its development through exchange of idea and people. The same was true for a broader range of knowledge creation. Openness and global collaboration were key in this endeavor, as illustrated by the movement of open science, open sources, and open innovation, and supported by the development of underlying data and information structures, represented by NISO and its activities. These trends seem to be irreversible, however, in these last years, we see the geopolitical factors entering into the scene, imposing some conditions in the knowledge creation space.
How to manage this new framework without obstructing these foundational characteristics of knowledge creation? My presentation will be an invitation to the NISO's communities to exchange their views on this issue and to share their thoughts about potential future actions
