The joint interactive event “BE OPEN meets OSCAR: Open Science Collaboration”, took place successfully on the 16^th of June, 2021, virtually.

The common event of BE OPEN and OSCAR has focused on providing general guidelines for Open Science promotion, regulatory schemes for Open Science operationalization and presenting interactive tools for enhancing Open Science collaboration amongst transport stakeholders. Moreover, the main significant outcomes of the two projects were presented. An open panel discussion and Q&A session rounded up the event.

OSCAR will participate and be presented at the upcoming 11^th EASN International Conference on “Innovation in Aviation & Space to the Satisfaction of the European Citizens”. The Conference will be held virtually from the 1^st until the 3^rd of September 2021.

The European Open Science Cloud has finally entered its highly-anticipated implementation phase. The EOSC Symposium will be held online, on June 15-18, 2021; and it will provide a key engagement opportunity for the EOSC community.
The foundation of the EOSC Association in 2020 is a key element of the implementation phase (2021-2027). Building on the EOSC SRIA, the Association will establish a number of Advisory Groups and Task Forces by June. These will focus on priority areas as we enter into the implementation phase.

The latest issue of the EASN Association periodic electronic newsletter (June 2021) has just been published. A dedicated OSCAR article is included therein, presenting the project's latest progress, activities and news!
Moreover, the current issue holds, among others, interesting aviation and space related publications and interviews, as well as the latest achievements and results of several EU-funded research projects and news of members of the EASN Association.

We are happy to announce that the BE OPEN - OSCAR common event will be held on June 16th 2021, at 2PM CEST. Join us to learn more about the benefits of Open Science and the OSCAR Code of Conduct. You will also receive valuable input on how to implement Open Science principles in your Horizon Europe proposal, thereby elevating your chances to fund your research.

The OSCAR final event will be held online, jointly with the BE-OPEN project, on June 16^th, 2021.

The agenda of the event is currently under preparation. Stay tuned for more information!

Over the past two years (2019-2020), activities related to the European Open Science Cloud have been coordinated by the EOSC Governance, consisting of the three bodies defined in the Implementation Roadmap for the European Open Science Cloud: EOSC Governance Board, EOSC Executive Board, and the EOSC Stakeholder Forum.

A TOPOS Observatory and Forum Webinar will take place on Friday the 26^th of March at 11:00 CET.

The Transport fOrum / Observatory for Promoting Open Science (TOPOS), aims to foster evidence-based discussion and cross-fertilization of ideas amongst transport researchers and will pursue it by aligning transport research with EOSC and the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

A comprehensive study, exploiting relevant publications, Internet database, etc. has been performed. The aim of the study has been to investigate which tools are more efficient to facilitate implementation of Open Science principles and elaborate an appropriate strategy.
