Yet another chance to share our views on open data in science with an influential organisation!

The Royal Society Open Science meeting is a free discussion at the Southbank Centre in London, designed to feed into its new policy study on the opportunities and uncertainties of open science: Science as a public enterprise: opening up scientific information.

Speakers include Sir Paul Nurse PRS, Geoffrey Boulton FRS, Sir Mark Walport and Philip Campbell. Tickets are free and available by emailing sape@royalsociety.org

More details:

• Starts: 2.00pm on 08 June 2011
• Finishes: 4.30pm on 08 June 2011
• Venue: Level 5 Function Room, Royal Festival Hall

Significantly, they have also issued a Call for Evidence associated with this study and welcome submissions by 5 August 2011. It would be great if the working group could contribute something! If you’re interested in helping us to formulate a submission then email me at jenny.molloy@okfn.org or come along to the next Skype meeting on 15th June 1730 UTC (more details to follow on the open-science mailing list).

You can also contribute personally by completing an online questionnaire. Key questions and full details of the call for evidence can be downloaded as a word document here.

I hope many of you are able to participate!
