In the framework of the **“Open Science in History. From Enlightenment to Artificial Intelligence”** conference, which will take place in Bern on November 21st, the CRAFT-OA project together with the conference organisers are creating a community-curated timeline of Open Science.

**Why this timeline?**

- To share collaboratively different perspectives and standpoints on Open Access

- To include actors and actions that may otherwise be forgotten

**How will it be used?**

The timeline will be printed in a graphical format and displayed to serve as a basis for collaboration during the “Open Science in History” conference and further in-person events. The updated timeline and the comments will be made public after the conference.

**Timeline structure and scope**

- Any kind of event that has affected open science at the local, national or international level

- Each event is broadly categorised by: actors; areas; scope of impact

**How can I contribute online?**

- Open the [spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/191VoyVeuUqdab5ozQs1A91j40KJEgBWo9HWpGsJO-QM/edit?gid=0#gid=0) and read through its contents (you cannot edit directly the document; but you can add comments)

- Up to **November 5th** , use this [Google Form](https://forms.gle/Lz6kXfXmEXWpuU1u9) to add a row to the sheet (Most questions are optional, including your name and affiliation; please note that information shared in the google form will be immediately public!)

We thank you in advance for your contributions.

I have a lot to add to this timeline. May I have writing privileges?

Thank you very much (merci beaucoup if you are Francophone, which I suspect).
