National and European e-Infrastructure Cooperation for Open Science

Posted in Uncategorised.

Organisers: GÉANT EGI OpenAIRE. Wide e-infrastructure participation is promoted [participation of EUDAT being discussed]

Duration: 4 hours

Best practice how to set workflows in place for Open Science; raising the profile of e-Infrastructures among NOADs; how the library and local institution can support infrastructure development at a national level with a view to supporting the future EOSCPilot. We will give concrete guidance to stakeholders on these topics and give room for discussion and suggestions by the audience.

Workshop abstract

This collaborative workshop comes in the context of coordinating EOSC related activities across large European infrastructures at European and national level. OpenAIRE NOADs, EGI NGIs, GEANT NRENs and other national open science stakeholders provide complementary but related services for the research lifecycle and each contribute to serve a wide range of communities (research, higher education, libraries, innovators). The future research support landscape is such that horizontal local, regional and international infrastructures will be providing a range of services; increasing coordination of service provisioning, support and outreach are necessary.

The workshop will offer an opportunity for cross-pollination on issues ranging from open scholarship to technical service provision, training, community engagement and support. This half-day interactive workshop will take the opportunity of bringing together national e-Infrastructure representatives to discuss gaps, synergies, coordination and service integration opportunities.

The diverse audience will provide an excellent opportunity for brainstorming and learning national approaches to common issues.
