The team of the project Advanced Materials Open Science Centre at the Precarpathian National University (PNU- OpenLab) participated in the international workshop ‘Open Science and FAIR: Global strategies for accessibility, interoperability, and information security’, which was dedicated to implementing global strategies in open science to ensure data accessibility, interoperability, and information security.

The project leader, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Volodymyr Kotsiubynskyi, was among the keynote speakers and delivered a presentation on the role of open science in advancing materials research and the importance of the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) for effective data storage, reuse, and scientific collaboration.

In his talk, Professor Kotsiubynskyi emphasized practical steps toward implementing open science policies in Ukrainian academic institutions, including the establishment of institutional repositories, integration of international metadata standards, and interaction with global infrastructures such as DataCite, CrossRef, and InvenioRDM. He also presented the institutional repository developed at Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University — dataset.pnu.edu.ua.

The participation of the project team in this workshop confirms the active integration of the Ukrainian research community into international processes of digital transformation in science, as well as the promotion of an innovative culture of open knowledge exchange.
