The aim of the II International Scientific Conference "Open Science and Innovation in Ukraine 2023" is to stimulate dialogue among stakeholders of the scientific community to discuss practical aspects of implementing the principles of open science and innovation in Ukraine. The conference aims to explore viable solutions to address pressing issues such as uninterrupted access to research infrastructure, free access to full-text scholarly publications, the need to reform the system of research evaluation, and accelerate the integration of Ukrainian science into the European Research Area by aligning with European Union policies on open science and data exchange formats. The discussions and presentations will result in a list of recommendations for higher education institutions and research establishments. These recommendations will contribute to the implementation of practical measures and policies to support open science and innovation in Ukraine. The event serves as an open platform for exchanging experiences, ideas, and knowledge, promoting scientific progress, and fostering the development of the Ukrainian scientific community.

Expected Outcome. The expected outcome of the conference will be the presentations of distinguished speakers who will unite their perspectives and propose collaborative methods for developing roadmaps aimed at implementing open science in Ukraine. These roadmaps will be developed according to an approved plan of actions for the development of Open Science in Ukraine.
