Adoption of the Open Research Data Strategy

The Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences are involved in the Open Research Data Strategy (ORD) and its implementation in many ways. It is foreseen that the Swiss Academies will not only sit on the newly established national "Strategy Council" for ORD together with other important actors, but will also contribute to the development of competencies in ORD research practices and to the establishment of systemic framework conditions. This includes, for example, the commitment of Swiss Academies to the development of the Code of conduct for scientific integrity, which takes into account new digital methods in research. In addition, disciplinary perspectives, which the academies have at their disposal through close contact with the various research communities, should be brought into the implementation of the strategy wherever possible and appropriate.
