A first-time collaboration between Wiley and the World Laureate Association looked at how a more vibrant science innovation ecosystem can be created. How will the research landscape be different in a post-COVID world? What opportunities do we have in the globalization of science? What does openness truly mean and how can it improve?

The pilot session held in April 2021, had a theme of “New Ecosystem of Science Sharing”, which focused on:

• Interdisciplinary research
• Promotion of international science and technology exchanges and cooperation
• Establishment of a new mechanism for equitable sharing of research results
