BRiDGE Project: Towards a more inclusive science - Open Science and the transformation of knowledge governance

This report, produced as part of the BRIDGE Project (WP4), offers a comprehensive and critical investigation into the promises, contradictions, and future trajectories of “open science”. It interrogates how “openness” in science, whether in access to publications, research data, infrastructures, or decision-making, can be meaningfully institutionalised without reproducing historical exclusions or succumbing to neoliberal market logics. Drawing from a wide range of case studies, policy frameworks, and theoretical insights, the report articulates a multi-dimensional approach to understanding the current transformations in knowledge production.
