SUMMARY:EOSC Academy – Course 2 – Applying the EOSC Federation Handbook – online session 1
DESCRIPTION:The EOSC Federation Handbook is a practical guide for facility managers\, resource providers\, and technical staff implementing the EOSC Federation. This course will explain how to apply the Federation Handbook with the help of real-world Node implementations. It will provide guidance on how to build Nodes and join the Federation. The course targets organizations preparing\, or are in the start-up phase to build Nodes and EOSC community members seeking deeper understanding of Federation processes. \n\n\n\n\nSpecific goals of the course: \n\nExplain what readers of the Handbook can expect to learn from the Handbook.\nClarify what can and cannot be found in the Handbook.\nPresent how the Handbook requirements were applied by specific Nodes.\nLearn how to Apply the building of a Node and join the Federation.\nConvey the idea of the Handbook as a community effort (led and carried out by the community)\, that it is in continuous evolution\, and that feedback is welcome and desired (stressing the channels to do that would be good)\n\nThe course targets the beneficiaries of the Gravity Preparatory and Interproject Calls who are preparing to build a Node as well as organisations and experts within the EOSC community who wish to deepen their understanding of the Federation and the processes supporting its development. \nTo ensure the course is as interactive as possible the strategy is to use a “flipped classroom” approach. The goal is to encourage the audience to engage with the EOSC Federation Handbook (aka Handbook) before the session\, so the online sessions can focus on high-level explanation and answering their specific questions. \nBy the end of this course\, the learner will:\n\n\nHave detailed knowledge of the Handbook:\nUnderstand the significance of the Handbook;\nBe able to reflect on how to apply it to their own needs;\nBe able to formulate and answer questions on the process of becoming a node.

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. This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership for the European Open Science Cloud[4]. \n[1] https://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/research-area/industrial-research-and-innovation/eu-valorisation-policy/knowledge-valorisation-platform \n[2] http://data.europa.eu/eli/reco/2023/499/oj \n[3] https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reco/2023/498/oj \n[4] https://eosc.eu/partnership/

DSS experts\nthe program is based on individual work with an expert\nthe purpose\, thematic scope\, time and frequency of meetings are the subject of a bilateral agreement\n\n\n\nEDUCATIONAL METHODOLOGY / DIDACTIC MODEL\n\n\nThe methodological approach focuses on the effectiveness of learning by doing. It assumes a balance between the theoretical and practical components\, in a 1:1 ratio of group and individual education. Each 60-minute teaching unit is structured into 30 minutes of the theoretical part (lecture with presentation) and 30 minutes of the practical part (workshops\, demonstrations\, exercises\, role-playing\, and a living lab\, functioning in the program under the name “data laboratory”). \nThe theoretical component builds participants’ awareness and knowledge by introducing and briefly explaining key issues and terminology. The practical component is equally important\, as it develops skills and competencies through direct application in practice. This approach enables optimal participant development\, creating a stable\, broad foundation of knowledge in data management and supporting the development of competencies necessary in professional and research environments. \nIn addition\, an individual consultation component has been introduced. Participants who want to discuss issues related to the subject of a given session or deepen the content can take advantage of individual consultations with experts every day. This solution promotes systematic and progressive mastery of the material\, allowing for ongoing clarification of doubts\, answering questions that arise\, and developing participants’ individual interests. \nIn this way\, both individual development and the impact of the entire group\, resulting from the commitment and cooperation of individual participants\, are supported. \nThe continuation of the basic programme\, including an in-depth domain and administrative approach to research data management and further targeted support for individual development\, will be carried out in Module 2: Specialisation and Module 3: Individual Mentoring Program. \nThe specialisation component will enable participants to develop competencies in selected areas\, adapted to the specifics of scientific disciplines and real challenges of administrative and repository work.

SUMMARY:Trusted frameworks for secure and efficient data sharing in EOSC (EOSC Partnership)
DESCRIPTION:Expected Outcome: \nProject results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes: \n\nCountries\, research communities and institutions are equipped with data sovereignty frameworks harmonised within EOSC and aligned with EU legislation and international agreements.\nImproved mechanisms and solutions for effective control over sensitive data and for enabling lawful data use and sharing across EU member states\, scientific disciplines and third countries with EU adequacy decision in place.\nMore harmonised guidelines\, support and training to researchers and data stewards on applying EU and national legislation and international agreements for data access\, sharing\, reuse\, licensing and associated services within EOSC.\nIncreased interoperability with relevant solutions of other European data spaces for secure data management and processing.\n\nScope: \nResearch data sovereignty refers to the possibility for effective control by data owners of data usage and sharing when necessary. Effective and transparent community-driven data sovereignty frameworks are important enablers of open science\, in particular ensuring safe and trusted management of personal or sensitive data\, safeguarding the quality of curated research datasets and the effective application of related EU and national digital and data legislation. Data sovereignty mechanisms can also improve the resilience and preparedness of research and data infrastructures against risks related to access to and preservation of critical data and services\, including risks related to data generated and stored outside the EU/EEA. \nThe exponential growth of available research data and the increasingly collaborative and cross-disciplinary research has accentuated challenges related to secure\, efficient and lawful cross-border data sharing for research purposes. Removing barriers to data sharing while ensuring data sovereignty is crucial to realise the potential of EOSC to foster trusted cross-country and cross-discipline scientific collaboration. \nThis topic aims to support data sovereignty while enabling seamless and trusted data sharing and access across scientific disciplines\, EU Member States and third countries where the EU considers sufficient data protection is in place\, tackling different regulatory regimes and procedures. \nProposals should include the following activities: \n\nDevelopment and implementation of national\, community and/or institutional research data sovereignty frameworks\, including policies for data sharing and access\, harmonised and aligned with EU digital and data legislation and international agreements such as adequacy decisions and digital partnership agreements\, as well as best practices from EOSC\, related common European data spaces and international data-sharing standards and initiatives.\nDemonstration and validation of concrete adoption cases of data sovereignty policies by national\, community or institutional actors\, aligned with open science and the FAIR data principles.\nDevelopment of harmonised governance frameworks\, ensuring smooth enforcement of data sovereignty policies.\nDevelopment of comprehensive data provenance tools to trace and verify the quality and lineage of data used in research\, and demonstration through identified use cases within relevant selected thematic areas.\nDevelopment of templates and guidelines for secure and sovereign data management\, including template agreements on data sharing\, publication\, and reuse\, and guidelines for licensing.\nDevelopment of guidelines for classifying critical data and services based on sensitivity and relevance to scientific communities and European policies\, and for managing risks related to access to and preservation of such critical data and services.\nAnalysis of data categories and definitions across scientific disciplines\, incorporating compliance with security requirements set out in EU and national legislation.\nDevelopment of recommendations for the establishment of a support centre\, linking with relevant national and thematic competence centres\, focused on compliance of data management with EU and national legislation\, and proof of concept of its integration and sustainable operation in the EOSC Federation.\n\nProjects are encouraged to explore synergies with relevant EU initiatives such as other common European data spaces that address sensitive data or data critical for research. To ensure complementarity and use of latest research results\, proposals should build on ongoing and previous INFRAEOSC projects such as those funded by topics 2023-EOSC-01-06\, 2023-EOSC-01-04 and 2024-EOSC-01-04 and align with the EOSC Federation policies and standards[1]. 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:Uptake of FAIR data management practices and of EOSC by research communities and research infrastructures (EOSC Partnership)
DESCRIPTION:Expected Outcome: \n\nIncreased adoption of open science and research data management practices in line with the FAIR principles by researchers and across research infrastructures (RIs) in Europe.\nIncreased uptake of the EOSC Federation by researchers through the long-term sustainable provision in the Federation of scientific services and high-quality\, FAIR research data\, and their integration in scientific workflows addressing current gaps and needs of research communities.\nResearch communities\, as well as ESFRI and other European research infrastructures increase their alignment with EOSC standards and policies\, and their capacity to integrate in the EOSC Federation.\n\nScope: \nThis topic aims to further increase across Europe the adoption of open science and research data management practices in line with the FAIR principles\, and to support the development of a user-focused and science-driven EOSC Federation. \nIt capitalises on the previous work by Science Clusters in enabling open science practices\, FAIR implementation and managing open calls for multi-disciplinary science projects. It also builds on the experience by several RIs and other organisations as active participants in building the EOSC Federation\, either through the establishment of EOSC nodes or the onboarding of resources to EOSC nodes[1]\, to support the engagement of underrepresented RIs and research communities into the EOSC ecosystem. \nProposals should cover both the following activities: \n1) Accelerate FAIR adoption and the contribution to and use of EOSC resources by multiple research communities through open science projects. \nThis activity should be implemented through open calls that provide grants to third parties for open science projects through a cascading grant mechanism. The open calls should encourage\, where applicable\, cross-RI and/or cross-domain collaborations\, including for data access\, use and reuse. \nOpen science projects should address questions of high scientific impact\, adopting best practices for FAIR data and service management and demonstrating their benefits. Their activities may include developing\, annotating\, curating and making FAIR high-value datasets\, developing direct pipelines to integrate large-scale experimental data in repositories federated in EOSC\, operationalising data access for AI-based applications\, reusing existing datasets\, enhancing existing and developing new vocabularies\, data standards\, metadata mappings and crosswalks\, developing software\, tools and services\, or supporting open science community building. \nThey should cover a broad range of (academic and/or industrial) research communities and scientific disciplines\, including those less represented in the EOSC Federation. They should make use of resources available in the EOSC Federation and adopt existing EOSC policies and standards[2]\, where possible. Projects should strive to ensure the sustained\, beyond the projects’ duration\, integration\, deployment and operation of relevant outcomes in the EOSC Federation. \nAt least EUR 29 million of the EU contribution to this topic should be used in this activity[3]. The financial support to third parties for the open science projects must be provided in the form of grants that should be between EUR 100 000 and 250 000 per grant for a duration of 12 to 24 months. The consortium shall put in place adequate measures to support the integration of the open science projects’ results into the EOSC Federation. These could include mentoring\, training and any other activities providing effective linkage to the EOSC Federation and EOSC Nodes\, as needed for the specific nature of each project. \n2) Support the integration of thematic research and RI communities in the EOSC Federation \nThe following activities should be included: \n\nCoordinating\, aligning and networking existing community-based competence centres on FAIR and open science practices developed within the EOSC ecosystem.\nDeveloping training programmes\, modules and material on FAIR and open science practices tailored to the specific needs of different thematic research communities. This activity should include feedback mechanisms to ensure that the training services are responsive to the evolving needs of EOSC user communities.\nDeveloping frameworks for the provision and continuous evolution of high-impact services and data repositories onboarded to the EOSC Federation\, fostering interoperability and integration of data and resources from diverse scientific domains and promoting their sharing through the EOSC Federation.\nEstablishing mechanisms for the integration and long-term sustainable provision of all relevant outcomes into the EOSC Federation\, as well as for continuous feedback and adaptation\, ensuring evolving requirements of researchers and RIs are met within the EOSC ecosystem.\nEngaging underrepresented thematic research and RI communities to increase their integration in EOSC.\n\nProposals are expected to cooperate and align with activities of the EOSC Partnership and to coordinate with relevant initiatives and projects\, including actions awarded under topics HORIZON-INFRA-2025-01-EOSC-01\, HORIZON-INFRA-2025-01-EOSC-02 and HORIZON-INFRA-2027-01-EOSC-01. This may include the upgrade\, deployment and adoption where appropriate of existing community-endorsed pilot\, tools\, services and standards developed by past and ongoing INFRAEOSC projects. To this extent\, proposals should provide for dedicated activities and earmark appropriate resources. \nIn this topic the integration of the gender dimension (sex and gender analysis) in research and innovation content is not a mandatory requirement. This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership for the European Open Science Cloud[4]. \n[1] Relevant information and documentation about the EOSC Federation can be found in the EOSC Federation Handbook and other relevant documentation adopted by the EOSC Federation. \n[2] As described in the EOSC Federation Handbook and other relevant documentation potentially adopted by the EOSC Federation. \n[3] Including reasonable administrative and management costs related to the open calls for the financial support to third parties. \n[4] https://eosc.eu/partnership/
