EOSC synergy

EGI2022: Together for Tomorrow. Innovative Computing for Research
2022-09-20 - 2022-09-22
Hosted by EGI and CESNET, EGI2022 will take place on 20-22 of September 2022 in Prague. Co-located events on Monday September 19th and Friday September 23rd are possible.
The annual EGI conference is widely recognised as the venue that brings together like-minded professionals from the world of science and scientific computing. During EGI2022, we will look towards the future – how will innovative computing services and solutions help to build a better research ecosystem? How can we work towards innovation? And what opportunities are there for new collaborations?
Together for Tomorrow – join us on a journey of turning ideas into reality, recognising the fact that big ideas require collaboration.

Workshop on National Policies relevant to EOSC deployment
2022-05-04 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/Madrid)
EOSC Synergy, together with EOSC Pillar, EOSC Nordic, ExPaNDS, NI4OS, EOSC Future and FAIRsFAIR, invites you to the in-person workshop “National Policies relevant to EOSC deployment – Status, gaps, and steps towards harmonisation’, to be organised in Strasbourg, France on May 4th, 2022. During the workshop, we will present the findings of the regional EOSC projects on national open science, funding, and access provisioning policies.

As this is the first in-person workshop organised in a very long time, we expect high interest. As places are limited, make sure to register in time. An option for remote participation is available, to be indicated at registration. The exact programme and speakers will be announced shortly on the event indico page, but we can already share the overarching themes and sessions this workshop will consist of:

Open Science/EOSC National Policies

This session focuses on the presentation of findings from the EOSC regional projects on the status of national Open Science Cloud and EOSC policies in the regions concerned, Countries in different regions have different approaches and are progressing at different pace. The workshop will discuss differences and gaps, with the view that these make the implementation more complicated, it will aim to increase understanding of the different policies/approaches and suggest recommendations and steps that can be taken to support a successful EOSC implementation and uptake.

Funding policies

This session focuses on the presentation of findings from the EOSC regional projects with respect to funding policies in the regions concerned. It will include presentations of successful business models and viable funding schemes at the institutional, national, or regional and international level. It will address the shortage of coherent and stable funding policies, discuss differences and gaps, and it will suggest recommendations and steps that can be taken to foster better alignment of funding policies nationally and internationally.

Access Provisioning Policies

This session focuses on the presentation of findings from the EOSC regional projects with respect to access provisioning policies in the regions concerned. Specific aspects to be considered will be related to EuroHPC and cross-border resources provisioning, cross-border collaboration, and conditions for transnational access; however, access will also be considered in terms of sustainability, from the user point of view and the availability of skills and capacity building. The findings and recommendations will look at the applicable scope (national/cross-border) and the profile of service policies (how, where they are provided, to which users and under which conditions) for access.

Mark your calendar for the "From Here to EOSC" workshop on the 28th September
2021-09-28 15:30 - 17:00
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is a hot topic in today’s science world, and national governments are taking more and more steps towards the concept of Open Science. This includes the Dutch government, that has started to monitor the progress and barriers concerning the Dutch data infrastructure and related facilities, which will be presented and discussed during the “From Here to EOSC” workshop organised by DANS in collaboration with the EOSC Synergy project.
The workshop that is organised will feature several speakers providing short updates followed by an interactive session using interactive polling.
List of speakers:

Ludek Matyska (Institute of Computer Science, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic) will briefly introduce the EOSC ambitions and provide some background on the gaps between “dream” and “deed”.

Valentino Cavalli (Strategy and Innovation Officer, EGI) will reflect on the EOSC maturity and readiness on the basis of landscape analyses in seven countries.

Peter Doorn (Senior researcher and scientific advisor, DANS) will provide an update of the situation in the Netherlands with respect to Open Science and Open Data, presenting a “dashboard” to monitor the progress.

Maurice Bouwhuis (Open Science – Research & ICT, SURF) on the NPOS (National Programme Open Science) and the collaboration between SURF and DANS.

Ellen Leenarts (Research Data Management Specialist, DANS) on the EOSC Association Task Force “Upskilling countries to engage in EOSC”.

EOSC Synergy kicks off in Santiago de Compostela
2019-09-23 08:00 - 2019-09-26 17:00 | Santiago de Compostela, Santiago de Compostela, Coruña, Spain
EOSC Synergy kicks off in Santiago de Compostela.

EOSC Synergy will contribute to the European Open Science Cloud landscape by expanding the capacities and building the capabilities of EOSC. In practice this will mean more compute and storage available to researchers, and more datasets and tools to expand avenues of research.

In the upcoming 3 years, EOSC Synergy will be the H2020 instrument to promote the implementation and adoption of EOSC services by scientific users in the countries involved in the consortium.

The ultimate goal is to build EOSC as a coordinated effort, as an open environment for scientific data and related processing that promotes convergence of infrastructures and scientific thematic services provided at national or European level.

The project is coordinated by IBERGRID, the Iberian scientific and technological cooperation framework signed by Spain and Portugal on distributed computing.
