<b>6: Open Science $B!>(B Entering into a New Era for Science:</b><br>
<br>
<br>
We support taking the following actions:<br>
<br>
i. Establish a working group on open science with the aims of sharing<br>
open science policies, exploring supportive incentive structures, and<br>
identifying good practices for promoting increasing access to the<br>
results of publicly funded research, including scientific data and<br>
publications, coordinating as appropriate with the Organisation for<br>
Economic Co$B!>(Boperation and Development (OECD) and Research Data<br>
Alliance (RDA), and other relevant groups; and<br>
<br>
ii. Promote international coordination and collaboration to develop<br>
the appropriate technology, infrastructure, including digital<br>
networks, and human resources for the effective utilization of open<br>
science for the benefit of all.<br>
<br>

<br>
We are very pleased with these excellent developments.<br>
