*Open by Default and Equitable by Design -- The Future of the Open Access
Movement: *The Open Access movement is about to mark its 20th anniversary.
At a meeting convened in Budapest by the Open Society Institute in December
of 2001, a small but diverse group met to explore ways to accelerate
progress in the international effort to make research articles freely
available on the internet.  They explored the most effective and affordable
strategies for serving the interests of the researchers and the
institutions that support research, examined ways to make the transition to
open access and economically self-sustaining, and discussed how separate
initiatives could best work together to achieve broader success. The result
was the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), which offered the first
definition of open access. The BOAI is a statement of principle, a
statement of strategy, and a statement of commitment. Two decades later,
while much progress has been made, significant work remains to be done.
This talk will explore the key challenges facing the Open Access movement
and propose areas of concentration to ensure that the global research
enterprise is one that is truly open by default, and equitable by design.

*Opening Sciences from Below: *Mainstream discourses have tended to frame
Open Science as a set of neutral standards, tools, and practices to be
followed, often with the objective of pursuing utilitarian or market-driven
outcomes. In this talk, I reflect on some of these framings and propose
other ways of conceiving open science, considering both the benefits and
the potential harms to communities affected by research. Drawing from
lessons learned from OCSDNet and the Open Science and Decolonization of
Knowledge project, we suggest that an inclusive open science involves a
highly dynamic process of negotiating and challenging power relations
within highly situated socio-political contexts, and involving actors,
institutions, and communities with varying claims for knowledge legitimacy.
Science policy making needs to take these power imbalances into account so
as not to perpetuate and exacerbate existing inequities.
