4th EGDF workshop: Piloting Governance Framework for the European Open Science Cloud
January 25, 2018, Porto, Portugal
How European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) will be governed is being designed now. EOSCpilot project, in charge of trialing and designing a stakeholder-driven governance framework for EOSC, has recently published the draft governance framework for the EOSC: Stakeholders, such as research communities, research institutions, research infrastructures, e-infrastructures, and research funding bodies are invited to debate and pilot the main characteristics of the framework and to highlight the items for improvement. A workshop in this theme will be organized on the 25th January, 2018 in Porto, as a collocated event of the EUDAT conference.

Closing remarks |
Establishing a governance for the EOSC is a challenging task, since it aims at constructing a framework allowing strong but disparate stakeholders to work together. Stakeholders include for instance: research communities, research institutions, research infrastructures, e-infrastructures, and research funding bodies. This framework also needs to address cultural challenges, encouraging the adoption of new ways of working and scientific practices. Overall, it will shape and oversee future development of the European Open Science Cloud.
At the end of its first year of activity, EOSCpilot has defined a first draft framework for governance, principles of engagement for service providers and users and sustainability. This initial framework has to be improved and tuned according to the views and inputs of the stakeholders in order to shape it in the most effective and broadly accepted fashion.
This workshop will introduce the initial version of the governance framework, to discuss with stakeholders its main characteristics, highlighting possible limitations, incompleteness and problems, collecting suggestions and feedback in order to improve it toward its final implementation. The workshop will start with an introduction to the draft governance framework followed by a discussion session on this topic. The discussion session will begin with a live poll followed by Q&A session using the sli.do audience interaction tool. The second part of the workshop is dedicated to the topic of Principles of Engagement for the EOSC. The draft principles of engagement for service providers will be introduced and the audience will have the opportunity to give direct feedback and raise questions on the topic.
The workshop participants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the recently draft governance framework for the EOSC https://eoscpilot.eu/content/d22-draft-governance-framework-european-ope... to enable involvement and contribution to the discussions and governance piloting exercise.
