Position papers on EOSC - Insights from Regional Projects & Infrastructures

08 Jun 2020

In early 2020, the EOSC Community took another crucial step on the road to the development and implementation of the European Open Science Cloud, as seven key EOSC-related Horizon 2020 projects signed a Collaboration Agreement in support of the EOSC Governance.

The Agreement involves all the projects supported within the INFRAEOSC-05-2018-2019 call, and provides a useful framework for all parties to collaborate on a wide range of topics, in order to enhance synergies in all mutual activities related to the EOSC. The projects also agreed on a Joint Activity Plan, which will guide them towards the first iteration of EOSC. Overlaps and complementarities among projects were identified, as well as specific areas for potential cooperation, ultimately aimed at the development of a common strategy to synchronise activities with the EOSC Working Groups.

Between April and May 2020, EOSCsecretariat.eu collected position papers on EOSC compiled by the INFRAEOSC 5b projects, the subgroup that specifically includes the four regional projects covering all corners of Europe, as well as the thematic project ExPaNDS.

The five Horizon 2020 projects which have contributed to the making of this compilation of EOSC position papers are: EOSC-Nordic, EOSC-Pillar, EOSC-synergy, NI4OS-Europe, and ExPaNDS.
