Bio: As a Policy Officer in the Open Science Unit, Carlos contributes to the development, analysis and coordination of EU policies in the field of Open Science with a focus on the implementation of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the implementation of the FAIR data principles. In particular, service, data and architectural aspects of EOSC are of particular relevance to him and he supports the development and implementation of the FAIR action plan and key FAIR-related building blocks.
