The Blue Growth BSOSC Observatory for Individuals aims 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 the Blue Growth Research. Achieving Open Access to publications, making their underlying data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and open where possible, and using open and collaborative processes and infrastructure via the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) will be key factors in making Blue Growth researchers share-reuse-reproduce science and in bringing such a critical sector closer to the society for enabling open innovation and citizen science.
