Position Papers on EOSC: insights, expectations and recommendations from the regional projects & Infrastructures

NI4OS-Europe together with the Horizon 2020 EOSC projects has provided insights, expectations, and recommendations relating to EOSC in a common booklet of position papers, an activity lead by EOSCsecretariat.eu.

The position papers were collected in the period of April – May 2020 and the collection was published on the EOSCsecretariat.eu Zenodo community.

Background and Collaboration

In early 2020, the EOSC Community took another crucial step on the road to the development and implementation of the European Open Science Cloud, as seven key EOSC-related Horizon 2020 projects signed a Collaboration Agreement in support of the EOSC Governance.

The Agreement involves all the projects supported within the INFRAEOSC-05-2018-2019 call, and provides a useful framework for all parties to collaborate on a wide range of topics, in order to enhance synergies in all mutual activities related to the EOSC. The projects also agreed on a Joint Activity Plan, which will guide them towards the first iteration of EOSC. Overlaps and complementarities among projects were identified, as well as specific areas for potential cooperation, ultimately aimed at the development of a common strategy to synchronize activities with the EOSC Working Groups.
