In this episode we take a closer look at open science, why it matters, and how it can help us meet some of the major challenges facing research today. With growing concerns about research funding, especially recent cuts in the US that may affect core scientific infrastructure, the need for openness, collaboration, and resilient research practices has never been greater.

Joining this conversation are Lina Waltin, librarian at Karolinska Institutet University Library, Patrik Magnusson, senior researcher and the chair of the Open Science Working Group at Karolinska Institutet and also the director of the Swedish Twin Registry and Lars Nordesjö, the head of publication infrastructure and media at KTH library.

Together, they explore what open science means in practice, its benefits, the challenges it brings, and what the future might hold.

Special thanks also to Erik Åkesson Kågedal, librarian at Karolinska Institutet University Library for his help in providing background information for this section.
