Digitalisation and Open Science

Digitalisation offers opportunities in many sectors, but also poses completely new challenges for social cohesion. A key aspect of digitalisation is transparency in science, which is propagated under the banner of Open Science.

For the first time, IHS has set itself an annual focus for 2020 in order to be able to present its achievements in a thematically focused manner - two topics are addressed deliberately because it makes it possible to show the many different ways how science and society are interlinked.
