EOSC Researcher Engagement: Report on "Visions, needs, and requirements for Future Research Environments: an Exploration Series with Researchers"

  • By Katharina Flicker

As partner of the project consortium EOSCSecretariat, TU Wien is responsible for Researcher Engagement. This task comprises the organization of workshops, consultations and an exploration series with members from university networks, funding bodies and various research communities. In order to address the latter in a structured way, TU Wien interviewed top-level researchers such as members from the Marie Curie Alumni Association, ERC grantees and Nobel Laureates covering four domains (Engineering and Technical Sciences, Medical and Health Sciences, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences and Humanities). The report summarizing the key findings, such as services for cutting-edge research as well as key takeaway messages were now published on Zenodo!

Certification of core EOSC services - your feedback needed!

  • By Sarah Jones

I'm delighted to announce that the EOSC FAIR Working Group has released the final version of the "Recommendations on certifying the services required to enable FAIR research outputs within EOSC" report for community comment. 

Kudos to Françoise Genova and the team who have balanced Sunday lunches with writing sprints to finalise this and incorporate comments from the Working Group and FAIRsFAIR. 

The report contains an analysis of activities relevant to certification in the EOSC context, and discusses incentivisation and support. It analyses the status of FAIR-enabling certification and gaps and potential opportunities for extension, and defines priorities for future work.

We welcome feedback on the document. You can download the report from Zenodo under the DOI https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4284666

Comments can either be left here on the EOSC Liaison Platform (you need to login to respond to the post) or if preferred you can email them to inform-FAIR-wg@eoscsecretariat.eu, or...

EOSC Digital Skills Consultation - your feedback needed

  • By Iryna Kuchma

The objective of the consultation is to analyse and provide insights on how to best position EOSC Skills and Training in Digital Skills in national strategies and agendas (advocacy), as well as to develop a list for recommendations for various types of policy makers, with the purpose of providing well-rounded, all-inclusive (research-government-industry-public) options to include in national strategies for Digital Skills and up-skilling.

For this purpose, and for supporting the participants in their feedback, a questionnaire has been developed (please see at https://forms.gle/4suYewE4LYWTbFtA7). It is intended not to take more than 20 minutes. The results of this consultation will be gathered, processed and published on the EOSC website. 

We would very much appreciate your participation in the consultation, and the input you will share with us until Friday 27 November
