Open Science enables the sharing of knowledge between the scientific community, society and businesses, thereby enhancing the recognition and the social and economic impact of science. 

Open Science is more than making data and publications available in open access; it is the opening of the scientific process as a whole, reinforcing the concept of scientific social responsibility. 

The implementation of Open Science practices also generates multiple opportunities for innovation. It helps drive the development of new products, services, businesses and companies.” (in ciencia-aberta.pt)
