The EOSC is governed by three constituent bodies, as defined by the European Commission Staff Working Document Implementation Roadmap for the European Open Science Cloud.
EOSC Working Groups form an official part of the EOSC Governance structure that will ensure a community-sourced approach to the current challenges of the EOSC.
EOSCsecretariat.eu engages with new and existing communities. You can also join EOSC Interest Groups (IGs), an open and collaborative virtual space where you can collaborate, share information, and discuss EOSC related topics.
EOSC Secretariat delivers 360° support to the EOSC Governance while working openly and inclusively with communities to co-create an all-encompassing European Open Science Cloud.
Hello and welcome to the EOSCsecretariat.eu newsletter. Next Monday's EOSC Consultation Day is a key event for the implementation of the EOSC with the EOSC Executive Board and its Working Groups discussing results and next steps in a series of public consultation sessions. The day is part of the EOSC-hub Week 2020 event which brings together key players in the development of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). With COVID-19 keeping restricting our movement, this is the perfect way to keep networking and up to speed with the evolving EOSC landscape.
In this edition, we also have updates on key publications from the Sustainability and FAIR WGs and news on the newly published EOSC branding guidelines.
Science is global endeavour and this month we also have two interviews from international experts. Nobel Laureate Joachim Frank, Columbia University and Isabel Krug, University of Melbourne discuss the needs and visions in their fields of Biological Sciences and Clinical Psychology, as well as the value of the European Open Science Cloud.
For this and more, read on.

International perspectives on Open Science and EOSC
Nobel LaureateProfessor Joachim Frank, Professor, Dept. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics & Dept. of Biological Science, Columbia University, sees EOSC is a good model for fostering Open Science as it lobbies for legislation that curtails publishers of scientific journals in their profiteering. This is one of the main reasons for the current barriers to Open Science. Read on...
Isabel Krug is a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at the University of Melbourne. She sees the EOSC as facilitating inter and multi-disciplinary teams to work together internationally. In a clinical setting, this would be vital in furthering research and international collaboration. Read on...
