DISCUSSION [25’]

 

Description of the session

According to the EOSC Declaration, users “should see the EOSC as a one-stop-shop to find, access, and use research data and services from multiple disciplines and platforms. Services and functionalities shall be user driven and determined by clear use cases. Intermediary users and other brokers of end-users' demand – IT departments, umbrella associations, community networks – should assist data scientists and ICT specialists in the identification of key requirements for EOSC services”.

This session will focus on EOSC as delivery channel of federated services and capabilities for research and open science.

The purpose of this session is to bring the voice of research collaborations and ESFRI research infrastructures on EOSC, acknowledging the double role these these play in EOSC: providers of research data, adding value services and other thematic capabilities, and users.

 

 Focus of the session

  1. What are the services that your research collaboration would benefit from as consumer of EOSC? What criteria and requirements should these services meet?
  2. Do you envisage the need of "core" services that EOSC could provide with central coordination (for example to take advance of economies of scale, ensure sustainability and harmonization across different providers)?
  3. What policies, services and resources could your research community provide for sharing, access and use through the EOSC?
  4. What is the role of Research Infrastructures in defining EOSC FAIR implementation guidelines?

Research community representatives will be invited to present their position on one or more of the topics mentioned above. A panel will follow to discuss emerging positions and issues with the audience.
