Breaking barriers: open science tackles wicked problems and reduces research waste
In 2024, KT Connects is focusing on open science — the practice of making scientific inputs, outputs, and processes freely available to all with minimal restrictions. Learn more
Webinar summary
Friday, April 26
12 – 1 p.m. PST
“Wicked problems” are challenges that are difficult to solve and identify because of their incomplete, contradictory, and evolving requirements. To tackle wicked problems, collaboration is essential. Open science (sometimes called ‘open scholarship’ or ‘open research’) aims to solve wicked problems by promoting collaboration, transparency, and knowledge and resource sharing. By including people with lived experiences on research teams, open science helps to make research relevant to knowledge users and reduces research waste. In this session, we will explore how open science principles help researchers authentically engage knowledge users in high-quality research to solve wicked problems in health research.
Learning objectives
After this webinar, the audience will be able to:
- Identify knowledge users for specific research projects
- Describe three ways open science practices reduce research waste
- List at least two barriers encountered by patient authors that open science practices can help to overcome.
