In conjunction with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2024 in Lima, Peru, Malaysia, through the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM), organised the PPSTI Workshop on the Landscape Study and Benchmarking Workshop for the APEC Open Science Alliance.
ASM CEO Puan Hazami presented the APEC Open Science Alliance concept as a building block of the Mission-Oriented Innovation Policy (MOIP). The workshop, a continuation of the virtual workshop on 20 June 2024, highlighted open science initiatives from APEC Economies and case studies on domain-specific fields. Malaysia Open Science Alliance Co-Chair Professor Dr Noorsaadah Abd Rahman FASc moderated the first session, which focused on insights and aspirations in open science from APEC Economies.
The workshop continues with breakout rooms focusing on governance, capacity building and research data management. Thirty-five participants from 11 economies attended this workshop to give insights on their current state of open science. The inputs from the two workshops will be presented during the SOM3 APEC PPSTI Meeting as the first phase of the landscape study of open science in APEC Economies.
