Consultation on the EOSC Multi-Annual Roadmap for 2023-24

  • By Sarah Jones

The EOSC Association has developed a Multi-Annual Roadmap for the 2023-24 period and opened a three-week consultation to gather community views on the priorities and outcomes proposed. The MAR will form part of the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), which defines the general framework for future research, development and innovation activities in relation to the EOSC.

The 2023/24 MAR builds on work conducted in the previous phase of development. It also draws from the European Commission’s forthcoming Work Programme to identify new areas of interest such as data quality, digital preservation and infrastructure for sharing sensitive data from public authorities.

These priorities are grouped under the three overarching objectives in the SRIA and are assigned to three levels of implementation: European, National and Institutional. The MAR has been developed by the EOSC Association Board of Directors in collaboration with the thirteen Task Forces established last year. You...

Making Open Research Europe future-proof; plans for a sustainable and robust publishing platform

  • By Athina Papadopoulou

With the approach of the one-year anniversary of Open Research Europe (ORE), the open access publishing platform launched by the European Commission, it is timely to review how the platform is going and look at how robust and future-proof it is. The platform provides all H2020 and Horizon Europe beneficiaries and their collaborators with an easy, high-quality platform to publish Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe funded research at no cost and in full compliance with the Commission’s open access policies.
The vision of ORE is to deliver high quality, reliable and efficient publishing venue for EU research and a sustainable venue where grantees can publish post-grant the results of their work, while respecting their open access obligations. The European Commission’s ambition is for ORE to lead by example in operationalising open science principles within scientific publishing while contributing to transparency and cost-effectiveness and exploring sustainable open access publishing business...

Securely store and publish research data with DICE services

  • By Serenella Muradore Gallas

The objective of this webinar is to showcase three DICE services available for different scientific communities. During the webinar, the service providers will present solutions for storing and publishing research data.  We will give an overview of each service and briefly explain how to gain access to the service at no cost until June 2023. The service providers will also provide an outlook on continuity of their respective services beyond after the DICE project ends.

The webinar is free and open to all, but researchers and research organisations are highly encouraged to attend, particularly those looking for services that can enable storing and publishing their research data. Research community managers and repository managers in academic or research institutions may also find the session informative.

Join the FAIRsFAIR event "Monitoring EOSC readiness: FAIR data policies" on 17 February 2022

  • By Rita Meneses

The ambition of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is to provide a  ‘multi-disciplinary environment where researchers can publish, find and re-use data, tools and services, enabling them to better conduct their work’. The realisation of the EOSC vision depends upon the availability of FAIR data (i.e., those data that are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable). The Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) defines the general framework for future research, development and innovation activities in relation to the EOSC and identified the availability of standardised national Open Science and FAIR data strategies, including the description of these policies, as a key priority to enable the continuous monitoring of the landscape with regards to EOSC readiness. 

This workshop will share recent work undertaken by the EOSC Association to monitor additional activities and define key performance indicators relating to FAIR data policies; share the key aims of a survey on...

Science Mesh Workshop "Global Platform for Scientific Collaboration"

  • By Jacopo Mariani

The main goal of the Science Mesh Workshop "Global Platform for Scientific Collaboration", co-located at the CS3 2022 Congress, is to dialogue with early adopters and potential vendors that will contribute to the final development, deployment and adoption of the Science Mesh. The Science Mesh is a global collaboration service for researchers, educators, data curators and analysts based on OCM (Open Cloud Mesh) and CS3APIs (Connect Storage and Application Providers). It provides an interoperable platform to easily share & deploy application and software components, while providing rich collaborative workflows.

The day will also bring out insights around what are the needs of ESFRI European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures clusters and their related infrastructures in terms of data synch and share. The ESFRI clusters, from a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines, have strong links with research communities, manage significant data volumes, and develop/operate discipline-specific data analytics tools, while facilitation...

DICE-EOSC-Pillar Webinar: FAIR Data Management Gaps and Solutions

  • By Federico Drago

In 2021, EOSC-Pillar project ran the “National Initiatives” survey which provided a snapshot of the state of national initiatives on open data and services in the five EOSC-Pillar countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy).

An entire section of the survey was dedicated to assess the needs and difficulties researchers face when re-using data, in particular what hinders and what facilitates the findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability (FAIR) of data from a researcher’s perspective. The survey is continuing towards a broader discussion with all researchers and their teams to collect their opinions and provide recommendations to EOSC and its service providers. 

At the same time, the DICE project (link) started aiming to provide to all EOSC researchers and communities data management services for making their data FAIR and fill some of the gaps identified in the survey. The services are designed to be used across all domains and thus, are potentially useful to all research communities in Europe.

  • Want to know the outcomes of the survey?
  • Would you like to bring new findings and recommendations for the implementation of EOSC?
  • Have you had experience in making your data FAIR and do you want to share the difficulties you have encountered? 
  • Are you looking for services to support you in making your data FAIR?

Then join EOSC-Pillar and DICE for this webinar. Register now!

FAIRsFAIR FInal Event and Public Session - January 26: the very last stop of an extremely exciting journey started in 2019

  • By Rita Meneses

Between January 25th and 27th, FAIRsFAIR partners and stakeholders will meet for a series of concluding meetings to deep-dive into the results of FAIRsFAIR. We’ll analyse the impact that we managed to have on the European Research Community. We'll go once more through the tools, guidelines and best practices that we have produced and delivered to researchers, data stewards, decision makers and funders towards a better, more structured approach towards FAIR data management. We’ll take the recommendations we produced and the lessons we learnt and leave them as a legacy for future activities to come.

The core of these three days will be the FAIRsFAIR Final Event on Wednesday 26th of January!

Forget about power-points and online surveys: grab an armchair and a coffee, make yourself comfortable and join us! We promise you...
