Talk Topic: Invest in Open: The State of Open Infrastructure

Open infrastructures, which include open-source solutions, systems, and supports that facilitate the creation and dissemination of open research and data, are critical in ensuring access to knowledge and fostering innovation. Earlier this year, Invest in Open Infrastructure (IOI) released the first State of Open Infrastructure report to shed light on the trends, patterns, issues, and gaps in the investment and adoption of open infrastructure for research, with the aim of identifying areas for potential change or intervention.

In this session, Emmy Tsang, Engagement Lead at IOI, will highlight key findings related to:
Characteristics of selected open infrastructures
Sources and characteristics of the grant funding those infrastructures receive and the research they enable
The influence of procurement and information technology governance processes on the adoption of open infrastructure
Emmy will also share a sneak peek at an upcoming update on Infra Finder, IOI's open infrastructure discovery tool. Q&A and discussion will follow the short presentation.

Emmy Tsang is passionate about open and meaningful community designs, strategic communication, and sustainable and equitable innovation. Previously, she led the communication and community engagement efforts for the Open Science Programme at the Delft University of Technology to widen researchers', teachers', staff' and leadership's adoption of open science practices at the university. At eLife, she helped build a community of open-source practitioners to advance the development of open-source tools to change the ways research is shared, consumed, discovered, and evaluated.

Emmy is also a co-director at Open Life Science, which runs a global cohort-based training and mentoring programme to support individuals and stakeholders in research in becoming open science ambassadors. She holds a PhD in Neuroscience from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and the University of Heidelberg. Originally from Hong Kong, she now lives in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
