EARTO Perspective on Science 2.0
Commercialization of Research
Open Innovation 2.0 • Networking and collaboration - partners,
competitors, RTOs, universities, users
• Corporate Entrepreneurship, enhancing corporate
venturing, start-ups, spin-offs
• Proactive IPR Management: to create markets for
technology
• Research and Development (R&D): to achieve
competitive advantages in the market
Industry 4.0 – Industrial Internet • Smart Factory is the goal
• Adaptive, resource efficient, ergonomic
• Integration of customers and partners in business

Drivers
• Digital technologies faster solving of problems in all
domains, including H2020 Societal Challenges
– Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, 5G/mobility,
High Performance Computing
• A more data-centric society
– Extensive use of data sets and data analytics in research and
innovation
– Data sharing fuels collaboration producing more results
• More efficient dissemination of outputs, e.g. in social
media
– Currently, about half of publications are NOT cited at all and a
only minority can be validated
– Only a small fraction of research results are turned into business

Implications for Society, the Economy and
the Research System
• Stimulates economic growth like other data-intensive services
• Can benefit both scientific community, companies and the
general public – e.g., by democratizing science and open innovation
• Can enable quicker results with less risk of duplications
• Huge amounts of data tools needed for extracting insights
• Crowdfunding does not replace current funding, but makes
researchers more aware of real problems and engages funders
• Challenges:
• Science 2.0 does not ensure higher quality research!
• Policies for privacy and open access to data are needed
• Research results must be protected (time labels, patents,…)
• Protect data for confidential experiments (e.g. medical)
22/10/2014 7
Implications for Researchers
• Engaging with a wider public e.g., involving scientists –
even amateurs - from all the world into big experiments
• Real-time collaboration with colleagues
• Co-creation of knowledge
• Community review to complement peer review
• Sharing data & results and collaborative research should
have a positive impact on the careers
– To be considered in HR policy (recruitments, promotions etc.)
– Metrics of collaboration needed
• Open access, open source should preserve authorship
and rights of researchers

Opportunities and Barriers
Opportunities
• New ICT tools revolutionize the world-wide collaboration in exploring,
analyzing and testing
• The sense of belonging to a community increases engagement
• Offers a view on the whole knowledge creation process, not only
snapshots (=publications)
• Open access to scientific knowledge and data behind the knowledge
possibilities for reproduction and validation of research results
Barriers
• Generating results that are high quality & meet ethical standards
• Privacy and thrust in the exchange of research results needed
• Not getting credits for collaboration
• Availability of open datasets. A topic for the EU program ”Big Data
Value Initiative”.

Actions to Be Done • Direct significant EU resources to Science 2.0 to enable European
Software and Service Industry to provide innovative tools (platforms,..)
• Include Innovation 2.0 on the agenda – networking, entrepreneurship
• Promote open access to data and content to accelerate the result
accumulation, preserving always author´s integrity and authorship
• Stimulate a wider dissemination of research results e.g. through social
media
• Support the engagement of scientists with a wider public - the sense of
belonging to communities increases motivation, improves quality, impact
• Expand current peer review practices to include also community review
and recognition for other impact than publications and citations
• Research organizations and companies should consider Science 2.0,
when they promote career paths, make recruitments and train staff
