      abstract     = {Keynote at the Open Scholarship Week 2021 The Transition to
                      Open Science It has been realized since the turn of the
                      century that major imperfections (flaws, ‘perverse
                      incentives’ as some would say) have developed in the
                      governance of science and academia. These imperfections till
                      this time are major factors that interfere with the promise
                      of the contribution of science to society. They relate
                      directly to the current incentive and rewards system that
                      has become dominant over time, which is very internally
                      oriented and steers for impact within science more than for
                      societal impact. Researchers find themselves pursuing work
                      that gives the most academic credit and is better for career
                      advancement. Every year millions of papers are being
                      published in a still growing number of journals behind
                      paywalls. It is now widely acknowledged that we have a
                      serious pervasive reproducibility and accessibility crisis.
                      In May 2016, the EU  Competitiveness Council  adopted
                      conclusions on ‘The transition towards an Open Science
                      system’ where it acknowledges that “Open Science has the
                      potential to increase the quality, impact and benefits of
                      science and to accelerate advancement of knowledge by making
                      it more reliable, more efficient and accurate, better
                      understandable by society and responsive to societal
                      challenges, and has the potential to enable growth and
                      innovation through reuse of scientific results by all
                      stakeholders at all levels of society, and ultimately
                      contribute to growth and competitiveness of Europe”. Open
                      Science encompasses Open Access, Open Research Agenda, Data
                      and Methods, Open Source, Open Educational Resources, Open
                      Evaluation, and Citizen Science. The implementation of Open
                      Science touches upon the social roles and responsibilities
                      of publicly funded research and the organization of the
                      science system. Academic leadership is crucial, but national
                      strategies for the implementation of Open Science are
                      essential including Open Science champions and role models.
                      This is an important change in our thinking about science in
                      society. Open Science is a new   Social Contract for
                      Science in the 21st century  that will change the daily
                      practice of our research and will affect all of us in the
                      science community and academia. Therefore, the EU and many
                      major funders in the public and private sector rely on Open
                      Science to get more impact from investments in science. It
                      is now widely understood that this requires a change in
                      scholarly publishing and the incentive $\&$ reward system
                      that can only be brought about when Academic Leadership and
                      the researchers work together.   About the presenter: Frank
                      Miedema  is Vice Rector for Research at Utrecht University
                      and chair of the Utrecht University Open Science Program. He
                      studied biochemistry at the University of Groningen,
                      specialising in Immunology, with a minor in the Philosophy
                      of Science. He obtained a PhD from the University of
                      Amsterdam at the Central Laboratory of the Blood Transfusion
                      Service (CLB), now Sanquin. From 1983, he was a project
                      leader there in the immunovirology of HIV/AIDS, as part of
                      the Amsterdam Cohort Studies. In 1996, he was appointed full
                      professor at the AMC/University of Amsterdam and became
                      Director of Sanquin Research in 1998. In 2004, he became
                      head of the Immunology Department at the University Medical
                      Center Utrecht. From January 2009 to March 2019 he was dean
                      and vice chairman of the Executive Board of the University
                      Medical Center Utrecht. He is one of the initiators in 2013
                      of  Science in Transition  who believe that the academic
                      incentive and reward system is in need of fundamental
                      reform. Next to Science for Science (articles in
                      ‘high-impact’ journals), the impact on society must be
                      valued more and societal stakeholders should be involved
                      more integrally in the production of knowledge.},
