2. Openness..can be confusing
• Open Access versus Free Access
• Open Data versus free to download
• Open Source and all of its “licenses”
• This session likely won’t clear up all questions!!!
• We intend to encourage more openness though!
• And if you choose not to..we want to know why?

3. What project(s) could we progress in
Open Science and report at #SciO14?
What projects can we launch HERE at Scio13 and
monitor/measure for impact of Open Science
