Open and collaborative science in development network - final report : catalyzing open and collaborative science to address development challenges

Inclusive open science involves negotiating and challenging power relations within social contexts, as well as among stakeholders and institutions that variously claim knowledge legitimacy and scientific “neutrality.” The Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network (OCSDNet) consisted of twelve international research teams located in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Teams explored the challenges and opportunities for an open and collaborative science, and the potential of open science to facilitate fair and sustainable development. This final progress report synthesizes insights and lessons learned following an analysis of 12 sub-projects over two years
