This session by Andrew Wyckoff from the OECD explores the critical role of openness in fostering a prosperous global knowledge economy. It defines key concepts such as cyberinfrastructure and accessibility to public sector information. The session emphasizes the importance of institutionalizing openness through effective monitoring and benchmarking practices. By breaking complex issues into manageable components and demonstrating the economic value of openness, stakeholders can facilitate better access to digital research data and enhance overall transparency in public sectors.
