New Paradigms in Research Communication – Continuing the Discussion

• February 14, 2025

ICOR is set to host its first public meeting of the year on February 27 to continue the vital conversation on reshaping research communication. This discussion builds upon insights from the “Future of Open Science Publishing” workshop held at HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus in December 2024, where experts gathered to explore a more collaborative, open, and efficient research ecosystem.

Why This Matters

The current research communication landscape is fragmented, with multiple initiatives operating in parallel. The December workshop sought to align incentives, integrate open science efforts, and establish principles for a robust, transparent research-sharing model. While the discussion began with a select group of 40 experts, ICOR recognizes the need for broader community engagement to shape the future of open science.

What to Expect on February 27

• David Stern (HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus) will present a researcher’s perspective on why change is necessary.
• Michele Avissar-Whiting (Director of Open Science Strategy, HHMI) will summarize workshop discussions and outline the next steps.
• Workshop participants will share key takeaways and actions needed to drive progress.

Be Part of the Conversation

This event marks just the beginning—ICOR is planning further workshops, web meetings, and engagement opportunities in 2025. Don’t miss the chance to contribute your insights and shape the next phase of open science.
