What a few last weeks it has been! Now that the dust has somewhat settled after the EU elections and the surge in voter participation, we can start looking ahead at what the future European Parliament will look like, and what lies in store for EU science, research, innovation and education. Parallel to the political tremors, the research community has been presented with cOAlition S\u2019 updated implementation guidelines for Plan S, a plan aimed at rapidly rolling out open access publishing. Time to scroll down and read our take on the latest policy developments impacting science and chemistry! You can read the full newsletter online here.\u00a0 [1] [plan-s] PLAN S: UPDATED GUIDELINES PUBLISHED, EUCHEMS RESPONDS Following the analysis of some 600 responses to the call for feedback on the Plan S implementation guidelines, cOAlition S (a coalition of funders with the aim of pushing through a rapid transition to open access publishing) has published its updated implementation guidelines [2]. EuChemS has acknowledged the work that has been done in order to evaluate the large amount of feedback received. However, many issues continue to persist, most notably the fact that cOAlition S\u2019 stance on other forms of journals as well as on embargo periods has not changed. EuChemS is moreover concerned that the points of view of Learned Societies has not been taken into enough consideration or invited to play a greater role in the debate. Read our full response here. [3]\ufeff EUCHEMS ATTENDS LATEST OPEN SCIENCE POLICY PLATFORM MEETING EuChemS attended the 3rd meeting of the second mandate of the Open Science Policy Platform (OSPP), an Expert Group that advises the European Commission on how to develop open science policy, and on which EuChemS is represented) in April in Bucharest, Romania. Read our full debrief of the meetings here. [4] [execb] EUCHEMS EXECUTIVE BOARD MET IN BRUSSELS The EuChemS Executive Board met on 13 \u2013 14 June in Brussels for two days of active discussions on a broad range of topics. Read all about it here. [5] CHEMISTRY FOR THE FUTURE OF EUROPE How will European countries successfully compete with the research and innovation capacity of such countries as the United States or China? How can European science best be supported and encouraged? What role can Chemistry play in shaping the EU\u2019s next research framework programme Horizon Europe? EuChemS\u2019 Science Communication & Policy Officer Alex Schiphorst delves into these questions in a recent article published in Open Access Government [6]. [bnueuelections] EU ELECTIONS \u2013 WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR SCIENCE? Following the results of the EU elections, we take stock of what to expect for science in Europe for the next few years. Read our take on it here. [7] EU MINISTERS ADOPT RULE TO BAN SOME SINGLE USE PLASTICS The proposal put forward by the European Commission last year to ban 10 plastic items most often found on European beaches, and which was adopted by the European Parliament, has now been officially adopted by EU ministers. The new rules, which also aim to tackle abandoned fishing gear and oxo-degradable plastics, focus on items such as plastic cutlery, plates and straws \u2013 all of which have alternatives that can be made easily available and affordable.

[airpol] [9] WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL DAY FOCUSES ON WAYS TO REDUCE THE HEALTH THREAT OF AIR POLLUTION On 5 June 2019 we celebrated the United Nations World Environment Day [10], aimed an encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment. Organised since 1974, the day focuses around a specific theme to draw attention to a particularly pressing environmental concern, with this year looking at air pollution. Read more about it here. [11] [foodsafety] EU-WIDE SURVEY ON EUROPEANS\u2019 CONCERNS FOR FOOD SAFETY PUBLISHED On the first ever World Food Safety Day, a new Eurobarometer survey by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) was published. The survey looked at how European citizens think about food safety, what their concerns are, and how it impacts their consumption. More information available here [12].
