Summary
Proposals aim to support the development of an effective pan-European cooperation framework and a thriving EOSC ecosystem in which stakeholders from all parts of the European Research Area pull together in a strategic and coordinated manner to ensure the achievement of the EOSC Partnership objectives. Proposals should support the EOSC community at large by engaging and interacting with a large number of users and stakeholder communities, to monitor the uptake and (re)use of EOSC resources.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals are expected to cover the following activities:
- Further develop and update the Strategic Research and Innovation agenda for EOSC and corresponding detailed roadmaps in early consultation with the wider research community in Europe in full transparency and openness. The agenda should cover all aspects required for the development of the EOSC-Core, Minimum Viable EOSC and the future widening to the public and private sector as well as support the alignment of the contributions to EOSC at national, regional, institutional and scientific community level.
- Facilitate an effective cooperation between and organise the concertation of EOSC-relevant projects, monitoring their results and ensuring that relevant outcomes are identified and serve as a baseline for future developments. Beyond EOSC-relevant projects, proposals should engage with the community through the organisation of a Stakeholders forum targeting research communities across disciplines and countries, including the ESFRI clusters, national and regional infrastructures and the long tail of science.
- The monitoring activities should consider the results of the European Research Data Landscape study launched by the European Commission in order to provide a living picture of the research data ecosystem in Europe.
- Develop a cooperation framework to implement the EOSC rules of participation.
- Effectively cooperate and establish links with other selected Horizon Europe Partnerships as well as with other relevant initiatives, including sectoral data spaces. Participate and represent EOSC Partnership stakeholders in international cooperation activities to foster global Open Science commons avoiding any overlap with existing efforts by the communities.
- Develop and test cost models and future business models for a lasting long-term sustainability framework, building on the work performed by the EOSC Sustainability Working Group and the studies already conducted as well as on the findings in this area of EOSC related projects.
