Recent Activity: EOSC Liaison Platform

Check out the recording and slides of the 20 July 2020 Webinar on Synergies and complementarities between Horizon 2020 and European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) and participate in the open consultation by completing the questionnaire. 

EOSC-Pillar is about to launch a consultation starting from 20 July, towards National initiatives and Member States on synergies and complementaries between Horizon 2020 and European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF), in cooperation with ERA-Learn.

How to move from FAIR principles to FAIR practice? During the past year, the FAIR practice task force under the umbrella of the EOSC FAIR Working Group has been gathering its understanding of the current state of FAIR practices across diverse communities, and making recommendations aimed primarily at research funders and policymakers on how to ensure that “FAIR” provides maximum value in the European Open Science Cloud.

The result has been captured in a Draft "Seven Recommendations for Implementation of FAIR Practice", which we open for consultation with a webinar on 9 July and for which we request your input until August 31, at which point it will be prepared for formal delivery to the EOSC governance. 

Do you have a broad expertise in FAIR policy or practice? Do you bring strong research data advocacy experience? Are you a “FAIR” expert in your field? FAIRsFAIR is offering you the unique chance to join the European Group of FAIR Champions and help shape the future data policies for EOSC.

A first intermediate version of the EOSC glossary is available for comments:
 
EOSC glossary (June 2020)
 
While attempting to provide an initial definition of the EOSC, this version consists mainly of the basic concepts that are required to create the concept system and targets the infrastructure domain.
 
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as this first set of concepts will affect the entire development of the glossary.

EOSC-Pillar prepared a brief video highlighting some of the main findings from its National Initiatives Survey on Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Italy, for each of the four groups of stakeholders: Funding bodies, Universities, Research infrastructures, E-infrastructures.

Dear colleagues,

In recent years, a rich field of Open Access, Open Science/Scholarship resources and infrastructure, many essential, has organically developed in Europe. 
Many of these resources, as you may well know, are not necessarily sustainable - even though they underpin our evolving Open Access and Open Science landscape.
