Title

The Big Mechanism: from text to experiments using text mining

Abstract

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative aims to accelerate and support Open Science and Open Innovation in the Digital Single Market. The vision is to enable trusted access to services, systems and the re-use of shared scientific data across disciplinary, social and geographical borders through a globally interoperable infrastructure and lightweight international governance. Funders and research organizations (universities, research centers, and by extension other intermediary actors in the space, like research libraries) not only need to be aware of the development of the EOSC policy framework, but also need to play an active role in its development as major stakeholders in the Open Science landscape.

This interactive workshop will showcase the initial steps towards an emerging EOSC policy framework, and seeks at validating the current work and future direction in the EOSCpilot project. It will engage stakeholders from funding agencies, research organizations and research libraries in a constructive discussion around opportunity and challenges for its current and future development and the aligned implementation at national and local level.

Why is Responsible Research & Innovation important?

Abstract

Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) is a way of researching that takes a long-term perspective on the type of world in which we want to live. It can strengthen research projects by emphasising openness, transparency, diversity, inclusiveness and adaptation to changes. Essentially, RRI aims to create collaborative frameworks in which citizens engage with scientists, entrepreneurs, decisions makers and other groups to work towards sustainable, ethically acceptable and socially desirable outcomes. https://datingadore.com

PRESENTATION  abstract

Openness is not only about tools and services. It is also about trust, ethics and governance. Open Scholar started advocating decoupling peer review from publication long before the recent preprint boom and the appearance of publishers and for-profit platforms that now claim a share of the pie in the emerging open science market. The ideas we promoted first are now becoming a reality but the research community still has an important decision to make. Will we sit back and wait for closed groups with conflicting interests to steer the future of research validation, evaluation and communication or will we take advantage of the momentum to regain control of our own work for the benefit of Science and Society?

Title

Brokering services facilitating interoperability and data management provision

Abstract

Research libraries support faculty and researchers in managing and preserving research data as well as conceptualizing Research Data Management (RDM) Plans. Albeit new in some sense, this role is a direct offspring of the longstanding function of managing and curating academic information in research libraries. LIBER is supporting the transformation of libraries to properly fulfill this role by providing means for coordination, training and shared initiatives through its strategic actions, working groups, and participation in projects. The LIBER strategy for the years 2018-2022 makes a clear statement on Open Science and specifically focuses on RDM. The Research Data Alliance (RDA), with its standing fora and groups, developing and testing standards, products, and best practices play a major normative role for global alignment in this field. RDA itself has an Interest Group “Libraries for Research Data” where the interfacing between libraries and other stakeholders in RDM are addressed. It is one the largest groups in RDA and its outputs, e.g. the “23 Things” are among the most adopted, globally. Initiatives like OpenAIRE and EUDAT with their portfolio of data services, established best practices and training opportunities, support research libraries in their endeavors “on the ground”. Even more synergies between all initiatives will not only provide significant benefits for an already overlapping target audience but also complement their individual strengths, with an overall uptake of coordinated, supported, and applied solutions to RDM. Thus, in this time where open science is becoming a significant asset in the hand of research communities, questions of how initiatives of these kinds can most effectively collaborate to reach common goals require joint action.

Title

Open data and infrastructures to support sustainable agri-food systems

Abstract

Exploiting open data in combination with farmers’ local knowledge, and the parallel processing of them by targeted Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools, support farmers in the application of ecological principles in food production. A broader access to open data and data analytic tools for agriculture mediated by public open access initiatives can help to provide farmers more power in the information management sector and to implement tools supporting the transition towards sustainable agri-food systems. Here we present the experience of H2020 CAPSELLA project (www.capsella.eu) in developing new models of participatory innovation in biodiversity-based agriculture working with open software, open data and open hardware.

Towards an e-infrastructure for open science in agri-food

Abstract

The European project e-ROSA (Towards an e-infrastructure Roadmap for Open Science in Agriculture) seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agri-food in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s main objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of co-elaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come, in line with the European Open Science Cloud’s vision, agenda and architecture.
