Dear OSC Delft members,

Summer holidays are just around the corner :sunny:. We have some very excited announcements to stay in touch with open science funding, events and opportunities - please see below!

Do you know someone who’d love to learn more about open science? Why not invite them to [join us](https://osc-delft.github.io/join) so they don’t miss out on these opportunities?

**Community Announcements**
- **New community Slack space - [please join us](https://join.slack.com/t/osc-delft/shared_invite/zt-857n65au-tz0kMaLXweiMlwpPPeXR2g)!** We hope to set this up as a welcoming and safe space for our community members to ask open science Qs, exchange views and share opportunities and resources. *We'll also be sending everyone who's not in the Slack group yet a personal invitation!*
- Following dialogue sessions earlier this year, the **TUD Recognition & Reward** committee has shared a Perspective document summarising efforts so far and kicking start actions to modernise the recognition & reward system, in line with open science principles. [Read to find out](https://www.tudelft.nl/en/about-tu-delft/strategy/recognition-rewards-perspective) how you can continue to help drive change in our academic recognition & reward system!
- ICT is looking into **providing better support for TUD Linux users** - please help by [filling in this anonymous survey](https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=TVJuCSlpMECM04q0LeCIe94FfdLZBk9Gqru4VoPIRbNUNTdYODVCMUk0T1kzNThCVU5SMlhaTkVZTyQlQCN0PWcu), by July 31!

- In the last newsletter, we announced that we will be organising a TUD-wide open science event in the fall - this will now be moved to early 2022. More to follow in September!
