Open Science and the Future of Education (Hardcover)

Open Science and the Future of Education emphasizes the crucial role of collaboration in generating new solutions for education through open science.

A manifesto for future global collaboration, the contributors to this volume set out a path forward for education innovation across four essential categories: open scientific knowledge; open science infrastructures; scientific communication; and open participation of social agents and open dialogue. Each category represents a key element of the Open Movement, with chapters highlighting timely topics including AI literacy, migrant education, and disability studies.

Featuring contributions from a diverse range of thought leaders in the open science movement, this timely volume is essential reading for anyone interested in global partnerships, open science, and interdisciplinary studies.
