Abstract
Open Science plays an essential role to tackle the grand challenges that we
face today. Open Access to scientific output has tremendously increased the
R&D process during the Covid 19 pandemic whereby we have witnessed the
fastest ever development of a vaccine against any health menace in the
history of the world. The main theme of this year's International Open Access
Week, "Open for Climate Justice", aims to stimulate cooperation and
collaboration in the climate change research community so that the
consequences of the looming climate crisis can be prevented before it is too
late. In this presentation, I will summarize the recent developments in the
Open Access domain and underline the current issues that the Library and
Information Science (LIS) community is facing nowadays. More specifically, I
will address the issue of transformative agreements and point out some of the
open questions such as the widening equity gap with regard to access to
scientific information across the globe.
