The University in Transition

Open Science is the great cultural change in academia today. Through the practice of Open Science, the university wants to anchor itself more firmly in society by making the major societal challenges at local, regional and global levels more central to education and research and thus be able to give more back to society. From this perspective, the question at the heart of this book is: how will the university develop in its core tasks of education, research and societal impact? The university, that is the people, and therefore it is also very important to consider how the university community, the associated organisation, is developing and ideally could develop. The integral transition to Open Science is central to this for us.
