SUMMARY:Expanding and deepening the EOSC Federation (EOSC Partnership)
DESCRIPTION:Expected Outcome: \nProject results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes: \n\nThe EOSC Federation provides to EOSC users with state-of-the-art digital services addressing their needs to store\, process and share data\, run software\, models and workflows\, and collaborate with their peers.\nResearch and digital infrastructures and other organisations providing scientific services are equipped with appropriate structures and technical\, legal and coordination mechanisms to onboard\, manage and sustainably operate digital tools and services in the EOSC Federation.\nInvestments across Europe in the provision of FAIR scientific data and services within EOSC are more aligned and coordinated\, achieving economies of scale and more efficient use of digital resources.\n\nScope: \nIn order to carry out typical research workflows\, researchers need to use a broad range of digital services such as data storage\, computing\, applications\, and collaboration tools. Such services are often cost-intensive and their provision is restricted\, e.g. to researchers within a country/region or a specific thematic area. The EOSC Federation aims to provide a trusted\, sovereign and secure environment to researchers in Europe to use high-quality\, FAIR research data and run research workflows\, with a focus on cross-disciplinary and cross-country research collaboration. \nThe aim of the topic is to set up an EOSC Federation-wide mechanism that enables multiple organisations to seamlessly offer such digital services\, and to support the sustained provision of these services to EOSC users. It also aims to enlarge the EOSC Federation by supporting the expansion of Nodes as gateways through which multiple organisations can offer their resources\, such as data and services\, to EOSC users. \nProposals should cover the following activities: \n1) Provide seamless\, user-friendly access to EOSC users to digital services for typical research workflows such as data storage\, computing\, applications\, and collaboration tools\, through a fully integrated EOSC Federation-wide system. \n\nGather requirements and analyse needs of researchers and EOSC users for such services and how they can best complement and integrate with existing resources in the EOSC Federation.\nSupport developing and embedding a Federation-wide resource management and accounting system for the efficient provision of such services across the Federation\, building on the design principles of the ‘virtual credit allocation’ system of the EOSC EU Node and any further development in the EOSC Federation.\nProvide access to EOSC users to such services\, based on the researchers’ and EOSC users’ needs and requirements and making use of a Federation-wide resource management and accounting system and harmonised access policies\, in line with the principles and guidelines of transnational and virtual access to European Research Infrastructures and related EOSC Federation policies.\nUpgrade the EOSC user experience through deep\, back-end\, cross-provider integration of key digital services covering the full research lifecycle\, achieving a user-friendly and robust environment.\nDevelop\, test and demonstrate business models for the effective management of the supply and demand of such services\, as well as for their long-term sustainable provision in the EOSC Federation\, beyond the end of the project’s duration.\nDevelop guidelines to facilitate a harmonised approach to the acquisition and provision of such services that supports research data sovereignty and research security in Europe\, ensuring a trusted\, secure and sovereign EOSC Federation.\nEstablish mechanisms for continuous feedback and improvement\, including indicators for monitoring the quality and usage of the services\, building on and further developing existing mechanisms of the EOSC Federation\, and ensuring that the evolving needs and requirements of EOSC users are met by the EOSC Federation.\n\nThese activities should be fully concerted and aligned with related parallel activities carried out by the EOSC Federation. \n2) Support the broadening\, integration and structuring of the participation of research communities in the EOSC Federation through \n\nthe development and establishment of intra-Node coordination mechanisms and organisational models to enable EOSC Nodes to effectively represent broad communities and multiple organisations in the EOSC Federation\,\nthe development and use of digital capabilities\, and of options for harmonised legal arrangements\, such as contractual or service-level agreements\, for onboarding and sustainably provisioning communities’ services through EOSC Nodes\,\nbroadening organisations’ engagement with and contribution to the EOSC Federation\, including underrepresented thematic research communities or geographic areas.\n\nProposals should implement the activities through the organisation of joint calls that provide grants to third parties. \nThe joint calls should be open to organisations that participate or are interested to participate in the EOSC Federation either by operating an EOSC Node or by onboarding their identified resources to the EOSC Federation\, in line with the relevant criteria set by the EOSC Federation. \nProposed activities should be driven by current gaps and needs of scientific communities\, digital infrastructures and service providers. Proposals should clearly demonstrate how they will contribute to addressing these needs and increasing the uptake of the EOSC Federation by researchers. \nThe activities should comply with and contribute to the continuous update and upgrade of related EOSC Federation policies and standards\, including technical and interoperability standards\, the use of open standards\, harmonised access and use policies\, and cybersecurity[1]. \nProposals should include a robust and credible plan for the long-term\, beyond the project’s duration\, sustained operation of the services that they will make available in the EOSC Federation\, and any other relevant project results. \nFor what concerns provision of access to digital services by third parties funded under the joint calls\, proposals should include a list of the digital services that will be supported through the joint calls. The third parties funded under the joint calls should identify the specific digital services that they will provide for access and the amount of access made available to EOSC users\, allocating budget according to users’ demand and making use of the Federation-wide resource management and accounting system. These third parties should also fulfil further conditions and requirements described in the ‘Virtual Access Activities’ part of the ‘Specific Features for Research Infrastructures’ section of this Work Programme\, for what concerns publicity of the access offered\, determining the access costs\, and setting criteria for access by EOSC users in line with the EOSC Federation access policies. Proposals are expected to address compliance with these specific conditions and notably ensure that the selected third parties will provide appropriate documentation to support and justify the amount of access provided and corresponding costs. \nProjects are encouraged to explore synergies with relevant EU initiatives such as EuroHPC. To ensure coherence and complementarity of outcomes\, funded projects are expected to cooperate with each other and with relevant initiatives and projects contributing to the development of the EOSC Federation including actions awarded under the topics HORIZON-INFRA-2023-01-EOSC-04\, HORIZON-INFRA-2024-EOSC-02-01\, HORIZON-INFRA-2025-01-EOSC-01\, HORIZON-INFRA-2026-01-EOSC-01 and closely interact with the organisational setup of the EOSC Federation. To this extent\, proposals should provide for dedicated activities and earmark appropriate resources. This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership for the European Open Science Cloud[2]. \n[1] As described in the EOSC Federation Handbook and other relevant documentation potentially adopted by the EOSC Federation. \n[2] https://eosc.eu/partnership/

SUMMARY:Strengthening the potential of the EOSC for knowledge valorisation and industry-academia collaboration (EOSC Partnership)
DESCRIPTION:Expected Outcome: \nProject results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes: \n\nBetter overview of the identified opportunities and barriers of the EU’s current legal framework on intellectual property (patents\, copyright\, licenses etc.) for researchers to valorise knowledge resources provided and/or processed in the EOSC Federation.\nOrganisations contributing resources to the EOSC Federation have improved capacity\, stronger incentives and better legal and technical conditions to valorise these knowledge resources and engage in open innovation practices and industry-academia collaboration.\nOrganisations contributing to the EOSC Federation have clearer frameworks and incentives to offer their resources to innovators\, deep-tech startups and startups emerging from academia.\nOrganisations contributing to the EOSC Federation have established channels in EOSC to promote knowledge valorisation with the private sector\, including SMEs and industry.\n\nScope: \nThis topic aims to support increasing and exploiting the potential of EOSC as a driver of innovation and a platform for researchers to develop new technologies and solutions that can be brought to the market. \nKnowledge valorisation is one of the EU’s key priorities for the European Research Area\, aiming to ensure that the increasing amount of research results generated in the EU\, mostly with full or partial public funding\, are transformed to products\, services and solutions that benefit society and contribute to economic competitiveness. \nMany initiatives have already been taken at EU level to boost knowledge valorisation\, including the guiding principles\, codes of practice and a platform to build a community to share experiences[1]. \nThe EOSC Federation brings together and makes available to researchers\, large volumes of knowledge resources\, including data\, publications\, software\, tools and services from different research and data infrastructures and scientific services providers across Europe. It therefore has the potential to facilitate and provide appropriate frameworks for knowledge valorisation\, open innovation practices and industry-academia collaboration especially for what concerns results that stem from cross-discipline or cross-country research. Activities funded under this topic should aim to support the capacity of the EOSC Federation and its community to better valorise research results in line with the EU’s code of practice on intellectual assets management[2] and standardisation in the European Research Area[3]. \nA key element in this effort is to clarify the legal conditions to valorise knowledge resources\, including resources provided in the EOSC Federation. As knowledge resources have various degrees of copyright protection\, it is often challenging for researchers to navigate in what they are allowed to do with the knowledge resources and how they can be used in industry-academia collaboration. A better overview of requirements and more legal clarity will therefore incentivise researchers to valorise the knowledge resources of the EOSC Federation. \nThis effort should also take into account the specific needs of different research communities contributing to the EOSC Federation\, ensuring they have the possibility to set better legal terms for knowledge valorisation through appropriate choice of licenses etc. More guidance is therefore needed to ensure that contributors can share their knowledge resources in the EOSC Federation with fewer legal strings attached. \nProposals under this topic should include the following activities: \n\nAnalyse opportunities and barriers emerging from the provisions of the EU’s current legal framework on intellectual property and relevant types of licenses that set the legal conditions for researchers to valorise knowledge resources in EOSC Federation.\nGather requirements and needs\, develop and analyse potential business models and access schemes for innovators and start-ups in Europe to access and use resources available in the EOSC Federation.\nDevelop a number of case studies of identified EOSC stakeholders valorising their results and/or establishing collaboration links with the private sector.\nMap out and evaluate the possibilities of relevant types of licenses for knowledge resources to facilitate knowledge valorisation and engage in open innovation and industry-academia collaboration.\nOrganise workshops\, webinars and awareness-raising campaigns\, and develop guiding material targeted at EOSC users and communities contributing to EOSC on how to facilitate and engage in knowledge valorisation and industry-academia collaboration based on the knowledge resources of EOSC Federation.\nDevelop recommendations and best practices\, based also on the case studies\, for further development of the EOSC Federation to facilitate knowledge valorisation and industry-academia collaboration.\n\nTo ensure complementarity with and use of the latest EU guidelines and research results\, proposals should build on ongoing and previous Horizon Europe-funded projects\, including IP4OS\, EU guiding principles for knowledge valorisation\, Knowledge Valorisation Platform and code of practice for intellectual property management and standards.
