What changes in science when research results cease to be the exclusive “property” of an individual scientist and become accessible to others? These questions — and the implementation of Open Science policy in Ukraine — were the focus of a seminar held on 4 September 2026 at the Institute for Problems of Cryobiology and Cryomedicine of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
During the seminar, delivered by Doctor of Biological Sciences, Prof. Maryna PETRUSHKO, participants learned why openness has become an essential part of modern science, how the movement for open access developed, and what it means today to be an open researcher. The speaker emphasized that Open Science is not merely the ability to read an article for free. It is a whole system through which scientific data can be found, verified, understood, reused, and further developed.
A separate part of the seminar addressed how the principles of Open Science are being implemented in Ukraine, the role of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, national and international Open Science infrastructures, repositories, and digital platforms such as Zenodo.
