9. Eight top level ambitions
… 4 with regard to the use & management of research results and data
Open Data: FAIR data sharing is the default for funding scientific research
Science cloud: All EU researchers are able to deposit, access and analyse European scientific data through the open science cloud, without leaving their desk
Altmetrics: The role of alternative metrics in replacing/complementing conventional indicators for research quality and impact (e.g. Journal Impact Factors and citations)
Future of Scholarly publishing: All peer reviewed scientific publications are freely accessible

10. Eight top level ambitions
… 4 with regard to relations with research actors (researchers, institutions and funders)
Rewards: The European research career evaluation system fully acknowledges Open Science activities
Research Integrity: All publically funded research in the EU adheres to commonly agreed Open Science Standards of Research Integrity
Education and skills: All young scientists in Europe have the necessary skills and support to apply Open Science research routines and practices
Citizen Science: Citizen scientists significantly contribute and are recognised as valid knowledge producers of European science

12. Open Science Policy Platform
May 2016 Competitiveness Council:
"NOTES the establishment of the Open Science Policy Platform by the Commission, which aims at supporting the further development of the European Open Science policy and promoting the uptake by stakeholders of best practices,
including issues such as adapting reward and evaluation systems, alternative models for open access publishing and management of research data (including archiving), altmetrics, guiding principles for optimal reuse of research data, development and use of standards, and other aspects of open science such as fostering research integrity and developing citizen science";
Commissioner Moedas will inform the Competitiveness Council biannually on advances of the Platform

13. Selection process, Rationale and Mandate
Stakeholder-driven mechanism to bring up and address issues
Commission advisory body, providing policy recommendations
to help further develop and implement open science policy
Support policy formulation: help identify the issues to be addressed and provide recommendations on policy actions required
Support policy implementation: review best practices, draw policy guidelines and foster uptake by stakeholders
High-level representatives of European branch stakeholders
Balance between different stakeholders,
Selected on basis of online- Open Consultation

G7 Science and Technology Ministers’ Meeting in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, May 2016
6: Open Science ‐ Entering into a New Era for Science:
Putting into Practice New Framework of Research and Knowledge Discovery, Sharing, and Utilization through Openness
We support taking the following actions:
i. Establish a working group on open science with the aims of sharing open science policies, exploring supportive incentive structures, and identifying good practices for promoting increasing access to the results of publicly funded research, including scientific data and publications, coordinating as appropriate with the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) and Research Data Alliance (RDA), and other relevant groups; and
ii. Promote international coordination and collaboration to develop the appropriate technology, infrastructure, including digital networks, and human resources for the effective utilization of open science for the benefit of all.

19. Open Science and the G7
G7-Autumn 2017, Italy G7 scheduled to adopt statement on Open Science with special reference to global dimension of Open Science Cloud and Rewards for Researchers to engage with Open Science And also Global Science Forum under the OECD is developing a framework for open and inclusive collaboration in Science in order to define future work priorities on Open Science UNESCO, RDA, …

20. Further developing Open Science with the G20
The G20 Science, Technology and Innovation Ministers Meeting of 4 November 2016 stated:
'We encourage discussion on open science and access to publicly-funded research results on findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (FAIR) principles in order to increase collaboration on science and research activities'.

21. In one word….
Exiting policy times ahead as now is time to bring open science from vision to reality.
