- Abstract
Open science means sharing all information in the research process as early as possible and making the output available without restriction on use. In the most expansive definition of open science, this includes sharing early‐stage inventions that could be the subject of patent applications. We illustrate how this expansive open science definition has attracted pharmaceutical companies to partner with universities to tackle big problems in biomedicine. We propose that by applying this framework to engineering, it will also encourage industry to work collaboratively with researchers in academia to tackle some of our big problems: climate change, energy sustainability, food security, and water quality and quantity. However, there are misgivings or misconceptions about adopting open science in engineering. This article explores some of the barriers to open science in academia in general, and specifically as applied to university‐based research in chemical engineering.
