Open Science: How Sharing Knowledge Can Save the Planet

In this episode we speak with Jean-Claude Burgelman about what open science means, why it accelerates innovation, and why we need it now. Jean-Claude Burgelman discusses practical benefits for businesses and NGOs, barriers like paywalled publishing and academic incentives, and the urgent need to make publicly funded data usable. Jean-Claude argues for multilateral infrastructure—a global open science cloud—and a new social contract for science, drawing on insights from this year's Frontiers Science House at Davos. The episode closes with a call to rethink institutions and governance so open science can drive faster, fairer solutions to global challenges. Resources: Ask a Librarian!
