Implementation priorities
| 09:00 - 10:45 | Engagement and cross-fertilisation between Research Infrastructures and the EOSC ecosystem
Co-chairs: Suzanne Dumouchel, Huma-Num (CNRS) & Director, EOSC Association & Mirjam van Daalen, Paul Scherrer Institute & Chair, ESFRI Task Force on EOSC The Research Infrastructures and their thematic communities are key stakeholders for EOSC, both as providers of thematic quality data and services, and as users of EOSC generic data and services. RI communities are also leading the data culture change, driving data “FAIRness” and quality, as well as open access to data. The session is expected to tackle the user-centric and co-creation aspects of EOSC in its second phase post 2020, highlighting the need for closer engagement and onboarding of the RIs and other thematic communities in EOSC, in order to address and prioritise the actual research community requirements and provide added value for their end users.
