Open Science Fair Conference - Save the date!

Location: 
Porto, Portugal

START: 16 Sep 2019
END: 18 Sep 2019

The second edition of the Open Science Fair, co-organised by EOSCsecretariat.eu, OpenAIRE, FAIRsFAIR, FIT4RRI and by the University of Minho, will take place in Porto (Portugal) on September 16-18, 2019.

Open Science Fair critically showcases the elements required for the transition to Open Science: e-infrastructures and services, policies as guidance for good practices, research flows and new types of activities (disseminate, mine, review, assess, etc.), the roles of the respective actors and their networks.

This year the conference will also host the launch of the EOSC KIOSK, a central info point for the European Open Science Cloud, open to all EOSC projects to showcase and present their outcomes and activities.

EOSCsecretariat.eu is directly involved in the following sessions:

Duration: 3.5 hrs
Room: D. Luis Hall

How can support and training offered by the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) be more effective? Which training and guidance resources are needed at the EOSC level? How can we ensure they can be found and used? How can training and guidance resources, i.e. materials and event information, be pooled effectively across the EOSC? Jointly organized by the Community of Practice (CoP) for Training Coordinators and LIBER, this workshop will cover recent developments in EOSC Skills and Training and discuss recommendations for the EOSC. The workshop will result in a set of concrete steps from the training community to improve the findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability of EOSC training resources.

In the larger context of Open Science, the workshop will present and discuss a number of priorities and recommendations compiled in the report from previous two workshops and adding to previous work aimed at ensuring that services supporting research data are effectively providing a technical ecosystem for FAIR data. This workshop is aligned with two of the conference’s main topics and it will resonate with its broader expert audience. It will tackle one of the challenges it raises, namely the lack of embedded tools and services supporting Open Science.
