European forum and oBsErvatory for OPEN science in transport (BEOPEN): TOPOS Observatory for Individuals

The BE OPEN project has received funding from the Horizon2020 of the European Union and aims to promote Open Science in transport research and assist in regulating and standardizing it (https://beopen-project.eu/). The 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 by the setting up and implementation of the Transport Observatory / fOrum for Promoting Open Science (TOPOS). This paper aims to give an overview as well as to highlight the main potentials of the TOPOS Observatory for individuals.
