This online workshop organised by EOSC-Pillar in collaboration with the other EOSC regional projects and taking place on 5 July 2021 at 10:00-13:00 CEST, aims to bring all the key projects with national or thematic catalogues together with the operators and developers of the EOSC Portal in order to converge all parallel discussions currently ongoing and produce a definitive roadmap of key milestones to ensure that services or resources onboarded in national or thematic catalogues are smoothly included into the EOSC Catalogue and vice versa.

Between 10:00 and 13:00 on 21 June, SSHOC will take over the Twitter account of partner organisation CLARIN to promote the SSH Vocabulary Initiative, to be highlighted at the ICTeSSH2021 pre-conference conference workshop SSH Vocabulary Initiative - What users Want on June 28.

The Meeting will include updates on the latest developments on the HDF5 libraries and ecosystem from the HDF Group. A lot has happened since the last meeting and they would like to share this with you. If you have something to showcase please submit the title for your talk by 30 July. If you are simply interested to get an update on latest developments please register by this date too. You need to register to get the connection details. We are sure you will learn something or will find answers to questions you have. It will be a good occasion to ask the experts and other members of the community during the discussion session.

This workshop will be building on the outcomes of the session “Citizen Science: What it means for SSH and how can multidisciplinarity be achieved?” that took place during the conference “Realising the European Open Science Cloud: Towards a FAIR research data landscape for the social sciences, humanities and beyond.” in November 2020. The session provided an overview of what Citizen Science is, how research libraries have an essential role to play in its deployment through the BESPOC model and other means, acting as knowledge broker and facilitator among others. At the same time, several Citizen Science and crowdsourcing projects/activities were presented. At the panel session, possible collaborations were uncovered and the organisation of a potential second event was suggested with the prospect of addressing the relation and interaction between EOSC, Research Libraries and Citizen Science.

_______________________________

We welcome you to this webinar organised as part of the RDA4EOSC activities supporting organisational engagement with EOSC and similar initiatives. 

The webinar is focused on addressing issues of organisational interoperability as a means to support internal and external coordination and collaboration, increase efficiency, alignment and engagement with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). 

As defined in the context of both the European International Framework and the EOSC Interoperability Framework, organisational interoperability refers to the way in which organisations align their business processes, responsibilities and expectations to achieve commonly agreed and mutually beneficial goals. 

In this webinar we will look at a practical example of work done at organisational level to support interoperability. Oscar Corcho, co-author of the EOSC Interoperability Framework report will detail the ongoing organisational interoperability work at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), especially in reference to the strategy, policy and process development and alignment.  

He will be joined by Juan Bicarregui, STFC and chair of the EOSC WG on Rules of Participation and Kheeran Dharmawardena, Cytrax Consulting and chair of the RDA Interest group on social dynamics of Data Interoperability. The panel discussion will explore the topic of organisational interoperability addressing in particular issues connected to organisational processes. It will also look at how this connects to the EOSC Rules of Participation and how initiatives within the RDA can support this and similar organisational interoperability work going forward. 

We are pleased to announce the online workshop entitled "the ESFRI Science Clusters' Long Term Commitments to Open Science".
This workshop is free of charge and will take place on 11 June 2021. 

Please find the registration form open till 7 June and the full programme at the following link: https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/24327/overview

CODATA, in partnership with the DDI Alliance, is organizing a meeting to explore the findings from “The Role of DDI-CDI in EOSC: Possible Uses and Applications,” a report for the European Open Science Cloud Co-Creation Project (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4707263) which was recently published. This report investigated how a standard model like DDI-Cross Domain Integration (DDI-CDI) could be usefully implemented in support of a large-scale cross-domain data-sharing infrastructure, and highlighted several use cases and topics. The meeting will focus on the recommendations from the report, and a discussion of practical next steps.

The workshop will take place on Friday, 11 June 2021 from 15:00 to 17:00 CEST (13:00-15:00 UTC). An overview of the report will be presented, including a brief summary of the use cases and topics from the report, and a presentation of findings. This will be followed by a discussion organized around comments from invited respondents, and then a general...

We would like to invite the ocean science community to join the upcoming Towards an All-Atlantic Data Space for the Ocean online workshop on 3 June, starting at 13:00 UTC (15:00 CEST) that the Blue-Cloud initiative is organising together with the All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance (AANChOR), the G7 Future of the Seas and Oceans Initiative, H2020 iAtlantic and H2020 AtlantECO, initiatives, as a side event of the All-Atlantic2021 R&I for a Sustainable Ocean Stakeholder Conference. You can find more information and the agenda here.

The event is organised around two panel discussions engaging an extremely rich list of panellists, while engagement with the audience will also be ensured via a tool called Mentimeter.
Your participation would be really valuable.

• Session 1: Measure Once, Use Many Times – standards, best practices, challenges and incentives for maximizing the use of ocean data in the Atlantic region - chaired by Jay Pearlman, IEEE / SG-OBPS. The focus of the session will be on sharing best practices towards FAIR data/interoperability (practical examples) from across the Atlantic region. The panellists will showcase what their organizations are doing with respect to interoperability through the use of international standards, as well as insights and lessons learned from their perspective and how could this contribute towards moving further collaboration across the Atlantic. The panel will then move around challenges/opportunities ahead.
• Session 2: Towards an All-Atlantic Data Space for the Ocean: Needs, challenges, opportunities, and partnerships will be an open, moderated discussion, using some guided questions via Mentimeter, on the priority actions required to achieve the goals of an All-Atlantic Data Space. This will be moderated by Martin Visbeck, GEOMAR.

Registration for the event is open here
