Governance Framework

 

What is EOSCpilot Governance Development Forum

The main governance challenge of establishing the EOSC is how to construct a framework allowing strong and disparate stakeholders to work together. This framework also needs to address cultural challenges, encouraging the adoption of new ways of working and scientific practices. EOSCpilot will design and trial a stakeholder-driven governance framework with the involvement of all stakeholders. This will then shape and oversee future development of the European Open Science Cloud.

EOSCpilot has established a Governance Development Forum to enable all different stakeholders to contribute to the development of the EOSC governance framework. The EOSCpilot Governance Development Forum (EGDF) is mandated to function and support the establishment of the EOSC. EGDF meets both virtually and face-to-face. There is a regular monthly webinar established and thematic, stakeholder targeted workshops will be organized to allow governance framework to be elaborated from the stakeholder perspective. Close interaction between the forum, EOSC pilot and European Commission is foreseen in the whole process of establishing governance principles and structures for EOSC.

Please read the EOSCpilot Governance Development Forum charter for more details.
