Fragmentation of infrastructures –Open science platforms, repositories, and data systems are often siloed, using different technical standards and metadata schemas, making cross-platform data sharing difficult. 2. Unequal participation –Many institutions—particularly in the Global South— face barriers such as insufficient network connectivity, limited institutional capacity, and lack of funding to develop or maintain infrastructure. 3. Lack of coordination –There is no single mechanism that connects regional initiatives (e.g., African Open Science Platform, European Open Science Cloud, LA Referencia in Latin America) into a coherent global system. 4. Growing policy momentum –The UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science explicitly calls for the co-construction of infrastructures and services, while the UNESCO Science Decade Strategy emphasizes inclusive, multi-stakeholder collaboration to achieve sustainable development goals through science.
