Open Science Days, the national biannual conference organized by the University of Belgrade since 2016, showcases the latest developments and projects in Open Science across Serbia and the Western Balkans. This fifth edition featured over ten initiatives supported largely by EU-funded projects, highlighting contributions from researchers, university professors, and librarians to advancing Open Science practices and infrastructure.

Among the presentations, Obrad Vučkovac, a librarian from the University of Belgrade’s Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences, introduced the OSTrails project and the forthcoming Serbian national pilot. His talk outlined the project's goals, with full pilot results to be presented at the next Open Science Days in 2026.

Another presentation on OSTrails and the Serbian national pilot was held at the BEAMING Open Science Clustering event at the University of Novi Sad. The BEAMING project, a Horizon Europe initiative under the WIDERA programme, fosters innovation and bioeconomy through cooperation between higher education institutions, focusing on widening countries in Central-Eastern Europe, South-Eastern Europe, and the Western Balkans, thereby boosting Open Science practices and enhancing the visibility of Serbian scientific work within international frameworks.
