This report provides an overview of the project management tasks completed by months 4 of the IMI2 JU FAIRplus project, including: delivery of the project website; a governance structure including a mobilised Managing Board, Scientific and Industry Advisory Board, Ethics Advisory Board, Associated Partner Working Group and project 'Squad' teams; Communication Assets including project logos, a social media channel, brand guidelines, and template documentation; and finally, project guidelines including the first draft of the Project Handbook, and the Communication Toolkit. The FAIRplus project is developing tools and guidelines for making life science data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR). The goal of FAIRplus is to deliver guidelines and tools to facilitate the application of 'FAIR' principles to data from Innovative Medicines Initiative projects and datasets from pharmaceutical companies, which will result in increased discoverability, accessibility and reusability of the data. The increased FAIRness of data will in turn lead to a wider sharing of knowledge, greater opportunities for innovation, and more insights that benefit society. The project has 22 partners from academia and industry, and runs from January 2019 to June 2022.

One of the major implications of climate change for tourism destinations is the potential impact that mitigation policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the rapidly growing aviation sector could have on travel costs and tourist mobility. Such impact is particularly salient for long-haul destinations. Recently tourism organisations such as the UNWTO have also expressed concern that aviation sector-focused mitigation policies in wealthy nations that are the major international tourism outbound markets will negatively affect tourism development and wealth transfers to tourism-dependent developing nations. This article reviews emerging climate policies in major tourism outbound markets that have direct implications for the aviation sector and examines the potential consequences for travel costs and tourism demand in 10 tourism-dependent less developed island states with diverse geographic and tourism market characteristics. The analysis confirms that aviation mitigation policies would affect tourism demand to these nations. 'Carbon smart' tourism market restructuring approaches to reduce the emissions intensity of tourism, and market risk to climate policy changes anticipated over the next 10-20 years, are subsequently discussed.

The pricing of public transport may range from charging the full price to supplying it for free. The present situation in most European countries is between the two extremes implying a partial cost recovery. In this paper we will explore both extremes on the axis of cost recovery: free public transport, and public transport without subsidies. We start with a discussion of free public transport, and give a short survey of the intentions governments may have with its introduction. After this short survey we discuss in more detail the experiences with free public transport in four real world cases, two from Belgium and two from the Netherlands: the city of Hasselt, the Brussels region (for students), the Leiden-The Hague bus corridor, and free public transport for students in The Netherlands. Then we discuss the other extreme: public transport without subsidies. We start with a short overview of the financial performance of the Dutch public transport systems and an analysis of the impacts of measures to improve the benefit-cost ratios. Then the effects of subsidy suspension in the Netherlands are estimated by developing two scenarios that describe opposite extremes in the hypothetical situation that no subsidies are granted to public transport operators and comparing the outcomes with a reference scenario where continuation of subsidies is assumed. The paper concludes with a discussion of the merits and problems of both pricing policies: free public transport and public transport without subsidies.
