Just back from the @osfair 2025 at CERN, where I was very proud to introduce the Principles of Open Science Monitoring, the first output of @osmi, in a fantastic panel led by Agata Morka, with Iain Hrynaszkiewicz and Kirsty Merrett.

We had a wonderful audience and lots of questions. I also had the priviledge to visit the antimatter factory, a must-see ! And of course, as always in conferences, I was happy to connect in-person with #OpenScience friends.

A few highlights that resonated with me:

✔️ The alignment (or misalignment) between EU and national policies remains a key tension point, with success stories but also gaps
✔️ Reforming research assessment is still crucial if we want open practices to be truly rewarded, BUT let’s not create an open-science index
✔️Finally, the broader context matters: politics, AI, and global competition are shaping the future of science just as much as infrastructures and policies

Also very impressed by the work of @swheritage, which carried out a detailed analysis of the software produced by CERN 👏 #OSFair2025
