Marcus Huber, a quantum physicist and ERC Grantee, talks about the serious data storage issue that comes with open data preservation, as well as burdens associated with the current grant application process. He also touches the topic of permanently employing people at universities that are not at a full professor level.

The Working Group Researcher Engagement in Austria – have just published our 8th interview. Josef Küng, a computer scientist, talks about the need for large data sets and challenges regarding the access to such data sets. He also touches the topic of quality checks, reference systems and descriptions to increase trust in data quality.
In the 7th interview published by the WG Researcher Engagement, Birgit Wassermann, a microbiome researcher, shares how data sharing has become a common practice in her field and how the availability of data has led through scientific breakthroughs. She also explains that microbiome research could benefit from more data storage space and metadata standards.
The Working Group Researcher Engagement has published its sixth interview on research data and practices. Angela Fabris, a literature and film scientist at the Universität Klagenfurt provides an insight into her field of research, the types of data she is working with as well as issues she is facing regarding the access to data. In addition, she shares her opinion on the relevance of intellectual property in her research.
The Working Group Researcher Engagement has published its fifth interview on research data and practices. In this interview with Erich Schmutzhard, a neurologist, intensive care physician and tropical medicine specialist, gives his opinion on data sharing, trust and ethics in medical research.
The Working Group Researcher Engagement has published its fourth interview on research data and practices.In this interview with Thomas Hofer, a theoretical and computational chemist, gives an insight into what type of data he is working with, shares his ideas on data quality and hints at what – in his opinion – is not quite transparent regarding EOSC.
The Working Group Researcher Engagement has published its third interview on research data and practices. In this interview with Wolfgang Kraus, a cultural and social anthropologist, who has done extensive field research on tribal organisation and historical knowledge in central Morocco. Among his main research interests are kinship, ethnography, visual anthropology, audio documentation, data management and research ethics.
The Working Group Researcher Engagement has published its second interview on research data and practices. In this interview communication scientist Maria Schreiber focus on qualitative research (to be more specific, she researches Visual Communication and Social Media) and shares her opinion on why sharing and reusing qualitative data is challenging as well as on trust in others’ research data.
In 2015 the vision of a federated system of infrastructures supporting research by providing an open multidisciplinary environment to publish, find and re-use data, tools and services led to the launch of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). Against this background, bodies such as the EOSC Association on the European level and the EOSC Support Office Austria on the national one have been established. Within this framework and since research has always been at the heart of EOSC, we are eliciting visions, needs and requirements for research data and practices from researchers who are located at public universities in Austria. Let’s see what Computer Scientist Thomas Lampoltshammer has to say!
