In this context\, the CSA will also assist with the update and promotion of the EOSC Interoperability Framework and assist in the set-up a process for its updates. \n\nThe CSA should execute at least two use cases to demonstrate and promote the use of the federation services provided by the EOSC Core Platform (EU Node) and document the experience and lessons learned. The use cases should be driven by real-life user needs and consider the long-term sustainability of such federations. The use cases should include Research Infrastructures able to federate within EOSC and users which gain novel capabilities for their research work.\nThrough the outcomes of the use cases\, the CSA should propose to the EC and current EOSC governance a set of operational Rules of Participation and common set of policies and minimum requirements to be applied consistently across the EOSC federation.\nThis set of rules\, policies and requirements should be detailed in such a way they can be introduced in the operation of ESFRI\, ERICs and other international\, national or institutional RIs at the subdomain\, domain and interdisciplinary levels as concerns the EOSC federation.\nThey should be developed\, maintained\, and updated in accordance with the progressive deployment of the EOSC Core\, EOSC Exchange and EOSC sustainability models and be based on latest input by the Task Forces of the EOSC Association and any additional\, relevant input by the research community.\n\nScope: \nProposals are expected to cover the following activities: \nThe CSA should explore concrete use cases of federations of Research Infrastructures and data/service providers to the EOSC Core Platform (EU Node). The CSA should contribute to the further evolution of the Rules of Participation and Acceptable Use Policies based on the identification of specific commitments and needs of the different contributors of the EOSC federation\, and contribute to the related development of guidelines and recommendations on various aspects (incl. interoperability framework)\, and with this further promote the EOSC Core Platform (EU Node). This work should be done in close collaboration with relevant stakeholders\, such as the contractors providing the Managed Services for the European Open Science Platform (EU Node)[1] \, Research Infrastructures\, thematic EOSC communities and EOSC national nodes. \nTo this end\, the CSA should engage with and further build the EOSC federation community\, and assist in the development of a common framework on the various aspects of the federation\, including the following dimensions: \n\nLegal\nBusiness model and incentive structure\nInteroperability framework\, including the support for FAIR principle and handling of PIDs across EOSC federation\nEOSC Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure\nEOSC Security Coordination\nEOSC Rules of Participation.\n\nCoordination and collaboration with the Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC) is required in order to take stock of identified common data infrastructure requirements\, including technologies\, processes\, standards\, and tools that will allow reuse of data across the various data spaces \nAlso\, synergies should be established with the contractors of SIMPL[2] as foreseen in the latter’s procurement technical specifications\, to avoid duplicating efforts and funding among major Union initiatives. The CSA should further provide an analysis of the status quo including the identification of gaps\, on the basis of which an actionable roadmap shall be established with actions differentiated by main actors and levels (EU or national\, topical or cross-cutting). \nThe proposed work should incorporate the necessary coordination efforts and resources with other relevant projects and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) governance structure in the context of the EOSC partnership. \n[1]Managed Services for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Platform \n[2]Smart middleware that will enable cloud-to-edge federations and support all major data initiatives funded by the European Commission URL:https://eosc-austria.at/events/future-engagement-model-for-the-eosc-federation-2024-horizon-infra-2024-eosc-02/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Funding Calls ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eosc-austria.at/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/ec-1200.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240918T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240919T140000 DTSTAMP:20260404T012452 CREATED:20240807T093838Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240807T093838Z UID:18873-1726660800-1726754400@eosc-austria.at SUMMARY:European Research Area: Fostering Greater Integration.

Considering the geopolitical landscape and consequent security concerns and regulations\, the event will provide a forum for dialogue on how to negotiate the policy gap(s) between open science and global security\, the issue of ‘dual use’\, and look at tools to assist this process. \nFurther\, the event will look at the impact of Open Science for lower income countries\, and whether the advantages – enhanced access to publications\, increased collaboration – outweigh the costs and work effort required of research communities in these often-under-resourced jurisdictions. It will explore how funder mandates and publishing models can both assist and challenge progress\, and showcase how cross-jurisdictional support can aid progress. \nProgramme Points\nDay 01 of the event aims to address multiple goals\, including identifying key security regulations and recommendations\, enhancing awareness and education for research managers and administrators\, and fostering ongoing dialogue to adapt Open Science principles in the current geopolitical landscape. The session will help participants to: \n\n1. Understand the relevance of the new geopolitical landscape in applying the Open Science principles in research.\n2. Discuss the EU Council’s recommendations for enhancing research security and its intersection with Open Science with an emphasise on the need for awareness and education among research managers\, administrators\, researchers\, and other stakeholders.\n3. Discuss best practices like “as open as possible\, as closed as necessary\,” FAIR principles\, and various funding models with particular knowledge exchange on the federative nature of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).\n4. Explore policy gaps and identify the best compliance tools to ensure robust implementation of Open Science.\n\nDay 02 will explore the advantages of Open Science for lower income countries\, such as enhanced access to publications\, heightened collaboration prospects\, and expanded audiences\, while also providing consideration of whether the expectations placed on researchers and research institutions in these regions to reciprocate these practices might pose disadvantages and potentially prohibitive costs. Specifically the session will look at: \n\n1. Attitudes to open science in different jurisdictions\n2. Transformative agreements\, APCs and the issue and impact of inequity in this system.\n3. Whether the European requirement to use CC-By licences negatively affects important revenue streams.\n4. How cross-jurisdictional supports can be developed and enabled.\n\n  \nRegistration Information\nParticipation is free of charge. Participants do not have to be EARMA members in order to participate. Registration for this event is open until September 09\, 2024\, or until reaches maximum capacity.

This aim is to further strengthen the open science landscape in Europe by reinforcing and enhancing repositories across Europe by emphasizing their value\, spreading best practices\, and supporting the establishment of national networks. \nOpen Consultation – European Repository Strategy\nAs the first step\, a comprehensive survey of the European repository landscape was conducted from February to March 2023. The survey revealed that European repositories collectively acquire\, preserve\, and provide open access to tens\, if not hundreds\, of millions of valuable research outputs\, serving as critical\, non-profit infrastructure in the European open science landscape. However\, the survey also identified several areas needing improvement. \nSpecifically\, repositories face three primary challenges: \n\nMaintaining up-to-date\, highly functional software platforms.\nImplementing consistent and comprehensive best practices in metadata\, preservation\, and usage statistics.\nAchieving appropriate visibility in the scholarly ecosystem.\n\nCrafting a Vision for European Repositories\nBased on these findings\, it was agreed to prepare a position paper outlining our collective vision for the future of repositories in Europe. To achieve this\, we are seeking input from various communities to gather insights and feedback. This open consultation is specifically designed to collect input from a variety of stakeholder communities\, and your participation is vital. \nWe can’t do it alone—we need YOUR insights and feedback to shape this vision. \n\nGive us your input\n\nYour valuable contributions will help to inform the initial draft of the position paper\, which will be refined through focus groups. Together\, we can build a stronger\, more connected European repository network.

Im Projekt können konkrete Anwendungsfälle erarbeitet und getestet werden. Am Ende steht die Erkenntnis\, für welche Anwendungsfälle die technologische Lösung relevant ist und in welche F&E-Aktivitäten investiert werden soll. \n(2) Ursachenanalyse \nEs liegt ein konkretes und ungelöstes Problem vor\, wobei die Ursachen nicht klar oder ausreichend untersucht sind. Förderbare Vorhaben analysieren dieses Problem im Detail und erkennen relevante Akteure. Die Probleme können einen technologischen Charakter oder aber gesellschaftliche Ursachen haben. Wichtig ist\, dass auf Basis der Ergebnisse potenziell ein FTI-Projekt entsteht. \n(3) Ausarbeitung und Erprobung eines technischen Konzepts\nEs existieren technische Ideen\, deren Lösungskonzept noch ausgearbeitet\, überprüft oder entwickelt werden muss. Dies umfasst auch den Bau erster Prototypen\, um die Validität von Konzepten und Machbarkeit zu testen. Wir unterstützen risikoreiche Konzepte\, ausgefallene Ideen und technische Lösungsansätze für große\, ungeklärte Probleme. Wichtig ist\, dass naturwissenschaftliche Gesetze eingehalten werden. \n(4) Strategie und Umsetzungsplanung großer Veränderungsprozesse\nViele disruptive und radikale Innovationen starten mit vagen Ideen\, denen zur Umsetzung oftmals eine strukturierte Herangehensweise fehlt. Daher werden hier Vorhaben unterstützt\, die als Vorbereitung für FTI-Projekte die Strategie und Vision\, sowie einen Innovationsprozess entwickeln. Entsprechend der strategischen Zielsetzung von Expedition Zukunft ist ein Prozess gemeint\, der über den herkömmlichen Strategieprozess von Organisationen hinausgeht und ambitionierte\, globale Ziele ins Auge fasst: zB solche\, die große Veränderungen in Märkten oder bei Zielgruppen vorbereiten\, regulatorische Hürden ansprechen oder große technologische Umbrüche strategisch steuern. \nWie hoch ist die Förderung?\nDie Unterstützung im Rahmen von Expedition Zukunft START erfolgt auf maximal 12 Monate und Projektkosten werden mit einem maximalen Zuschuss in der Höhe von € 80.000\,- gefördert. \nFür verschiedene Organisationen sind verschiedene Maximalanteile am Projektvolumen förderbar\, und zwar: \n\nKleine Unternehmen: 70 %\nMittlere Unternehmen: 60 %\nForschungseinrichtungen: 80 %\n\nZusätzlich zur monetären Unterstützung begleitet Sie die FFG über die Förderung hinaus mit einer zentralen Ansprechperson und individuell auf das Vorhaben angepassten Services.

The EOSC EU Node is expected to be presented to the scientific community in the frame of the EOSC Symposium in October 2024. Meanwhile\, the discussions are intensifying on the aims\, structure and tasks of the individual EOSC Nodes that will complement the EOSC EU Node to initiate the formation of the EOSC Federation. \nThe Tripartite Governance of EOSC is therefore launching a questionnaire to gauge the scale and scope of general interest and readiness for the build-up phase of the EOSC Federation. Interested parties are invited to reply to the questionnaire as the first step in their eligibility to contribute to a testbed of potential EOSC Nodes representing the different stakeholders involved in the research communities of Europe. \nBased on the replies to the questionnaire\, several organisations will be invited by the Tripartite Governance to contribute to the refinement of the EOSC Federation concept during the build-up phase. The build-up phase will help the Tripartite to gain experience from cooperation between the future EOSC EU Node and the individual future EOSC Nodes\, and to test the different aspects of the EOSC Federation Handbook in practice. The invited organisations shall reflect the different types of stakeholders and organisations to ensure the best possible representation of the various European research communities. \nNo additional funding is associated with this activity. Submitting the questionnaire does not commit the respondent to onboard their resources (i.e. services/data repositories) nor to establish a future EOSC Node. At the same time\, the invitation to form a node in the build-up phase does not automatically guarantee the status of a federated EOSC Node at a later stage. The decision of the future structure\, organisation and funding of EOSC will follow the negotiations of the next European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation\, FP10. \nAn overview of the results of this questionnaire will be shared with respondents and will be used to plan the next steps in the building of the EOSC Federation. \nWEBINARS FOR PARTIES INTERESTED IN BUILDING UP THE EOSC FEDERATION\nThe EOSC Association will hold two webinars in June to explain the purpose of the questionnaire and provide guidance on how to complete it. Registration is required to attend. Interested participants can choose from the following dates and times: \n\nWednesday\, 19 June 2024\, 15:00-16:00 CEST\nTuesday\, 25 June 2024\, 15:00-16:00 CEST URL:https://eosc-austria.at/events/questionnaire-for-parties-interested-in-contributing-to-the-build-up-phase-of-the-eosc-federation/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Consultation Calls ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eosc-austria.at/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Federation1500x1000px_v2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240722 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240727 DTSTAMP:20260404T012452 CREATED:20240521T150530Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240521T150541Z UID:18273-1721606400-1722038399@eosc-austria.at SUMMARY:Workshop on high-throughput sequencing data analysis with Galaxy DESCRIPTION:Target Audience: Scientist with no or little Galaxy experience who want to analyse sequencing data. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nTo get introduced to Galaxy as data analysis platform and the GTN training material\nTo learn how to use use tools and databases in Galaxy\nTo be able to run different tools and workflows\n\nTraining material: For the hands-on course\, we will use the training material from the Galaxy Training Network.

To address these issues\, the Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles have been developed to provide guidance on making resources more reusable and interoperable. These principles have gained increasing attention in a number of different domains and applications. On the one hand\, a key aspect is the ability to describe resources correctly and semantically\, in particular using ontologies. On the other hand\, ontologies themselves have to comply with the FAIR principles. \nThe workshop aims to bring together leaders from academia\, industry and user institutions to discuss the adoption of the FAIR principles and share real-world requirements\, challenges and experiences in their respective domains. In addition\, we aim to explore how the FAIR principles are supported by the use of ontologies that are ideally FAIR themselves\, and to discuss the challenges and perspectives in adopting the FAIR principles. \nThe topics of interest include\, but are not limited to\, the following: \n\nontologies\, schemas and vocabularies for FAIR data and metadata;\ndomain and cross-domain ontologies for FAIR research outputs (data\, software\, mappings\, workflows\, ontologies\, ML models\, etc.);\ntechniques\, methods and tools to increase the FAIRness of vocabularies and ontologies;\nFAIR ontology harmonisation\, mapping\, alignment\, merging and modularisation;\nbest practices on modeling FAIR research outputs;\nsemantic descriptions of FAIR digital objects;\nchallenges in FAIR research output management and modeling;\nnovel applications of the FAIR principles\, FAIRification process and use cases;\nmetrics for FAIRness assessment;\nprovenance in FAIR environments;\nFAIR principles and open science;\nFAIR principles and linked open data;\nApplication of the FAIR principles in scientific communities (life science\, digital humanities\, health\, smart cities\, etc.)\n\n\n\nSubmissions\nSubmissions can be made in the following categories: \n\nFull papers (10 – 12 pages\, including references)\nShort papers (6 – 9 pages\, including references)\nPosters (up to 5 pages\, including references)\n\nSubmissions should be original work and follow the CEUR one-column template (Overleaf template\, CEUR author kit). However\, FOAM 2024 explicitly welcomes alternative and enhanced submission formats\, such as HTML submissions. Authors who are preparing such a submission should contact the workshop organizers in advance to make sure we can accommodate for them in the submission and review process. \nSubmissions should be managed through Easychair. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the workshop (in person). \nFOAM embraces the adoption of FAIR best practices. If your paper proposes a dataset\, has associated source code or proposes a new ontology or demo\, please make sure these resources conform with the FAIR Best practices from FOIS.

The Pathogen Data Platform maturity model specifically targets managers of data platforms that host on pathogens\, and associated\, contextual sensitive\, personal metadata. It was developed within ELIXIR-CONVERGE and tested in a pilot run within BY-COVID. It is very largely inspired from the maturity model of the Federated EGA. \nDuring this highly interactive workshop\, generally addressed to platform managers and those involved in platform development (bioinformaticians\, ITs\, legal services etc.)\, we will present practical illustrations of how to understand and score the various indicators of the maturity model\, with examples focusing on SARS-CoV-2\, bacterial\, and wastewater data. We will also discuss the importance of ensuring FAIRness of platforms by design and how maturity models can support this.

Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen für ethischen und sensiblen Umgang mit Forschungsdaten DESCRIPTION:Die Ansprüche an Forschungen und an Forschungsdaten werden immer größer. Der Aufwand auch. Gerade in der Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie\, bei der nicht nur bei\, sondern auch gemeinsam mit beforschten Menschen Daten entstehen. Das bringt große Verantwortung mit sich. Besonders beim Umgang mit sensiblen Daten\, Daten aus Gewalt-\, Kolonial-\, rassistischen Kontexten. Die CARE-Prinzipien (Collective Benefit\, Authority to Control\, Responsibility\, Ethics) für indigene Daten werden immer öfter als Lösungsansatz für alle diese ethischen Fragen herangezogen. Sie sind von indigenen Aktivist*innen nur für indigene Daten gedacht und entwickelt worden. Können diese Prinzipien auf andere\, nicht-indigene Daten angewendet werden? Wenn ja\, wie? Wie können wir in unserem Fach ethisch\, respektvoll\, möglichst kollaborativ und gemeinwohlorientiert forschen und Daten sammeln und archivieren? Gibt es andere Ansätze? Und wie umgehen mit unseren vorhandenen Daten? Ob und wie können diese Daten dekolonialisiert und weitergenutzt werden? Wem gehören die Daten? In Vorträgen von Christian Huber und Ingolf Ortner zum Thema „Beware! Take CARE! Überlegungen zum praktischen Umgang mit sensiblen Daten im Forschungsdatenmanagement“ und von Veronika Kocher über „IMAGE+ und die Frage der praktischen Anwendung von CARE Principles im Umgang mit Bildmaterial in Repositorien“ werden diese Fragen beleuchtet und danach diskutiert. Im Anschluss soll mit praktischen Beispielen aus dem ethnographischen Datenarchiv\, der Ethnographischen Sammlung des Instituts für KSA oder auch von Teilnehmenden diskutiert werden\, welche Möglichkeiten es gibt\, gut und ethisch vertretbar mit Forschungsdaten umzugehen. \nVortrag: Christian Huber und Ingolf Ortner – Beware!

Stock\, Universitätsstraße 7\, 1010 Wien \n  \nAbstracts:\nChristian Huber und Ingolf Ortner – Beware\, take CARE! Überlegungen zum Umgang mit sensiblen Daten im Forschungsdatenmanagement \nDie CARE-Prinzipien werfen in ihrer praktischen Anwendung mitunter mehr Fragen auf\, als diese beantworten können. Forschungsdaten\, gerade solche die ethische Fragestellungen implizieren\, können auf allen Ebenen\, bis hin zu den Metadaten\, in ihrem gesamten Datenzyklus hochsensibel sein. Deshalb wurden 2019 die CARE-Prinzipien (Collective Benefit\, Authority to Control\, Responsibility\, Ethics) als ein Komplementär zu den 2016 postulierten FAIR-Prinzipien (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, Re-usable) formuliert. Die FAIR-Prinzipien erkennen im Gegensatz zum reinen Open Data Konzept auch Restriktionen des Datenzuganges an\, fokussieren aber auf Merkmale\, die den Datenaustausch erleichtern und sind eher als Grundsätze eines guten Forschungsdatenmanagements zu sehen\, welche aber ethische Aspekte und historische Kontexte in der Datenproduktion und in der Nachnutzung von Daten weitestgehend unberücksichtigt lassen. Gerade aber in der ethnographischen Forschung müssen die Beforschten\, die Forschenden und die aus dem Forschungsprozess hervorgebrachten Daten bzw. Metadaten\, von der Entstehung bis zur Nachnutzung\, als sich gegenseitig bedingende äquivalente Aktanten angesehen werden. Was bedeutet dies nun für den praktischen Umgang mit sensiblen Forschungsdaten? Im Vortrag werden unter anderem 10 Punkte präsentiert\, welche aus qualitativen Interviews mit ExpertInnen erhoben wurden\, die ein Desiderat darstellen und zu einer weiteren Beschäftigung bzw. zur praktischen Umsetzung der CARE-Prinzipien im Umgang mit qualitativen sensiblen Forschungsdaten führen sollen. Die 10 Punkte\, die zum weiteren Diskurs anregen sollen\, umreißen Themenfelder wie sensible Forschungsdaten vs. Open Data\, aktuell gehaltene Metadaten als Schlüsselelement\, das Spannungsfeld Beforschte – Forschende (Datenschutz als Hürde\, Wer spricht?\, Macht und Teilhabe u.v.m.)\, institutionelle Langzeitarchivierung\, der Faktor Zeit und seine Risiken\, finanzielle Ressourcen (prekäre Forschungs- und Arbeitsbedingungen)\, die Schwierigkeiten einer praxisnahen Umsetzung der CARE-Prinzipien sowie eine frühzeitige Sensibilisierung durch Schulungen und Einbindung in die universitäre Lehre. \nVeronika Kocher – IMAGE+ und die Frage der praktischen Anwendung von CARE Principles im Umgang mit Bildmaterial in Repositorien \nIn den letzten Jahren ist eine Debatte immer stärker in der Öffentlichkeit ausgetragen worden: Wie mit rassistischen oder diskriminierenden Inhalten verantwortlich umgehen? Sei es der Sturz öffentlicher Statuen von Menschenhändlern\, der Umgang mit bekannten Kinderbüchern\, die neu aufgelegt werden und eine Revision erfahren oder Kunstwerke\, deren rassistische Titel in digitalen Datenbanken überarbeitet werden und mithilfe einer Sternchen-Barriere gekennzeichnet sind – ein Wandel im Umgang mit diesen Inhalten ist festzustellen. Das Sammeln\, Bewahren und Erforschen von Ressourcen ist darauf ausgelegt\, diese zu erhalten und entsprechend der Textautonomie so abzubilden\, wie sie sich präsentieren – als Abbild einer Gesellschaft. Oftmals finden auf diesem Weg aber gerade die exklusiven und diskriminierenden Seiten einer Gesellschaft Eingang in die historisch gewachsene Welt von Bibliotheken\, Archiven\, Sammlungen und Datenbanken und können hier ohne weiteren Kommentar verwendet werden. Auch in Bibliotheken\, Archiven und Museen muss daher die Frage gestellt werden\, welche Methoden Anwendung finden sollen\, sodass rassistische und diskriminierende Inhalte nicht weiter reproduziert werden. Inwieweit und in welcher Form können archivarische Strukturen diverser und aktueller gestaltet\, und wie auch andere gesellschaftliche Perspektiven abgebildet werden? Gleichzeitig scheint damit aber ein Konflikt mit dem bewährten Selbstverständnis dieser Einrichtungen unausweichlich.
