Open Science from the inside out: concept, challenges and implementation Eva Méndez will approach the concept of 'Open Science' from the reflection of ideas and policies discussed in the context of the European Union, but also addressing the challenge of implementation for the different agents involved. The main initiatives that have been launched in this area (PlanS, OSPP-REC, etc.) as well as the barriers to the necessary cultural change will be discussed. This talk is part of the program of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11th February) organized jointly by CFM, CIC nanoGUNE; CIC biomaGUNE and DIPC. **Eva Méndez** holds a PhD in Library and Information Sciences (LIS) and is an expert in metadata.
