Be Open

Mission

The overarching vision of BE OPEN is to create a common understanding on the practical impact of Open Science and to identify and put in place the mechanisms to make it a reality in transport research. Openness, transparency, fairness, reproducibility of science are key aspects around which BE OPEN seeks to establish the ground rules for the transport research communities, ultimately creating a community of transport research organisations willing to work on the basis of a commonly agreed “Open Science Code of Conduct”.

Collaboration with Blue-Cloud

• Joint dissemination/communication activities: The projects have co-organised joint events to share the projects’ results and reach a broader community. A practical example is coming from the organisation of the workshop “Channeling open science for a sustainable management of the ocean” as a side event of the Open Science FAIR 2021, that Blue-Cloud has done together with BE OPEN, Cos4Cloud and FNS-Cloud.
