On 2 March, EuCheMS participated in the fifth high-level roundtable event of the Open Science Policy Platform (OSPP). On the menu: discussions on integrated advice on open science, including the involvement of citizens in science. One of the core aims of the open science policy is to make science and scientific data much more accessible to the public, a move which EuCheMS welcomes, as it marks an important step in making the scientific arena more accessible and engaging.

The next meeting of the OSPP is scheduled for autumn 2018. Reports, minutes and other materials from the meetings can be found here.
