The UN Open Science Conference took place on November 19, 2019 at UN HQ in New York City.

From the Dag Hammarskjöld Library Website:

The theme of the conference is “Towards Global Open Science: Core Enabler of the UN 2030 Agenda”. With a desire to elevate the discussion about open science and open research to the global level and to examine the role of open science in advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the conference will bring together representatives of open science initiatives (OpenAIRE, Hindawi, LA Referencia, AfricanLII and others), early career researchers, library directors and policymakers. The event was organized by the UN Dag Hammarskjöld Library in collaboration with the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC).
