Call
Summary
The aim of the call is to support researchers engaging in or developing Open Data Research by conducting science projects that facilitate and foster sharing research data and results based on FAIR principles.
Detailed Call Description
Open Science projects are scientific research projects, citizen science projects, or proposals to develop services or networks, in the scientific disciplines covered by, and beyond the Science Clusters. They have been implemented to make (meta)data, software, tools and/or workflows FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and available to fellow researchers and the general public, to facilitate accessibility and reuse by the scientific community at large.
Proposals that develop and/or make available services or tools (software; hardware; middleware; protocols; standards; benchmarks; documentation and training/mentoring materials; activities and resources), which enable Open Research in a field and encourage open science practice based on FAIR principles, are also eligible.
The Principal Investigators of these activities have to commit to the FAIR management of the achieved scientific results and all associated digital objects. A particular attention will be reserved for relevant datasets from RIs, the innovative software and services for interoperability and legacy of data. Projects must deposit the digital research data generated in the Science Clusters’ trusted catalogues or other trusted repositories federated in the EOSC. The projects should aim at enhancing the involvement of researchers in Open Science.

Eligibility For Participation Notes
Individual researchers, group of researchers, universities, research infrastructures, institutes, consortia.
Individual researchers, or a group of researchers in different countries of the EU, Associated Countries and beyond can apply with their own affiliation (a university or a research institute). A Science Cluster by itself cannot apply but it could endorse a project led by a PI and his/her affiliation, who would assume the direct responsibility of the proposed project.
