Open Science contributes to advancing many of the UNs Sustainable Development Goals and in November 2021, UNESCO members unanimously adopted a Recommendation on Open Science which provides a framework for advancing open science at the national level and has been instrumental in helping to progress open science policies and infrastructures around the world.
