EOSC Secretariat and the EOSC Executive Board members were present at the last Platform of National eScience Centers in Europe (PLAN-E) Plenary Meeting at the GARR premises in Rome last 15 April 2019 to provide an overview of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) governance activities as well as the benefits of the EOSC to its stakeholders.
The event, organised by PLAN-E, a network of eScience centres in Europe, had the theme: "Accelerating the EOSC, HPC in Europe and Cultural Heritage". The days focused on the latest developments in EOSC as well as high performance computing and humanities and their relationship with eScience. Present was the European Commission's Jean Claude Burgelman.
As usual at PLAN-E Plenaries, the “Workshop session” split up the delegates in breakout groups and discussed the topic at hand which was how can PLAN-E help speed up the EOSC process.
