| dc.description.abstract | This policy brief presents a strategic framework for advancing Open Science (OS) in Uganda, with a focus on strengthening the regulatory role of the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (UNCST). It emphasizes the transformative potential of OS in making research more transparent, inclusive, and accessible. The document reviews global and regional best practices, identifies challenges in Uganda’s current research ecosystem—such as policy gaps, limited infrastructure, and weak collaboration—and offers policy solutions to stimulate reform. It highlights the importance of open access, data sharing, and institutional readiness to ensure greater research impact, compliance, and alignment with national development goals. By adopting the proposed OS policy, UNCST aims to foster a more connected and accountable research ecosystem that enhances Uganda's participation in the global knowledge economy. | |
