AGU Open Science Vision

Evolving Data / Open Science Leadership at AGU into its second decade.

The AGU Data / Open Science Leadership Program is moving into its second decade. Over this time we have expanded from a data focus to include other research digital objects in the context of various types of openness in the research ecosystem.

How does this vision compare to your own work in Open Science?
