The GATE Report 2025 documents the state of Open Science as reflected in the educational and informational capacities of contributing experts in 2025. Contributors
- described which guiding thoughts they advance in their work and materials, how they understand them and and which should be considered for the future.
- shared existing and emerging practices and solutions to implement and strengthen Open Science in research and institutional contexts.
- provided their knowledge on the intersection of Open Science with AI.
Why GATE and How It Works
Open Science operates in a field of continuous change: the challenges it must address, the methods and tools it draws on, and the degree to which it is understood, practiced, and supported by individuals, institutions, and policies all shift over time. These dynamics require sustained, community-grounded knowledge capable of informing a broad range of stakeholders in time to act. To this end, the GATE continuously gathers community-legitimated knowledge on Open Science — its guiding thoughts and practices — through the GATE Service and GATE Solution Sessions, evaluates and structures it, and disseminates it bi-annually via GATE Reports. The Reports equip researchers, educators, institutions, policy makers, infrastructure providers, research funding organisations, and the wider public to stay informed, regularly update their understanding, and respond effectively to current developments. Stakeholders may draw on, critically interrogate, or distance themselves from communicated developments, practices, and documented disparities to improve decision-making, optimise educational activities, or expand their capacities.
Dissemination and Community Participation
The report has been presented at the European Parliament. It will be presented at the European Commission on 9 November 2026 and at UNESCO on 12 November 2026.
