<p>That really matters what we do celebrate: "<span style="color:
rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0,
0); font-size: 11pt;">the important role of science in society
and</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;">
the importance and relevance of science in our daily lives" or
"Open Science" because it makes a huge difference. If we
underscore just "the importance of science" we are purely in
the paradigm of Enlightenment which considers science, cause
and effect, positive perfect absolute truth to determine all
areas of human culture and activities. <br>
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;"><br>
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;">There is nothing
wrong with "cause and effect thinking" except for it didn't
help world to solve many crucial problems and avert two world
wars and other major catastrophes. That was one of the reasons
for "social consciousness" </span></span><span style="color:
rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0,
0); font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
font-size: 11pt;">to turn</span></span> to "dialogical
understanding" of things which reflects on science too.
Namely, it requires modern science to turn to its foundations
times and again, literally at every move of any theory
development. And, when we are to think about foundations,
different ways to look at them come to play. Thence --
dialogue as the paradigm of modern thinking.<br>
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;"><br>
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;">The above
explains, in my view, the theme of "Open Science" as an
emerging value. The "Openness" is to be stressed here not
science because openness as an aspect of dialogue becomes a
major value in all areas of human culture and activities,
science (just) included. We need to realize that.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;"><br>
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;">A side note: I
brought in a problem of IP here not long ago -- in relation to
the subject of, let's say, "open data." It is not so difficult
to infer from the above that IP is the major problem, an
obstacle on the road to "Open Science," "Open Data," "Open
Culture," and so forth. The scientific community is to realize
that.<br>

is not only an issue of science being open to the research
community, as in “open access” and “open data”, but refers
to a science open to society. In spite of the progress
made in recent years, we are still witnessing great
disparities across and within different regions and
different countries when it comes to accessing science,
technology and innovation (STI) a</span><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt;">nd enjoying
their benefits. To address these disparities and close the
existing STI gaps, Open Science is an important step in
the right direction. Details at </span></span><a
