EOSC Declaration

RECOGNISING the challenges of data driven research in pursuing excellent science;

GRANTING that the vision of European Open Science is that of a research data commons,

widely inclusive of all disciplines and Member States, sustainable in the long-term,

CONFIRMING that the implementation of the EOSC is a process, not a project, by its nature

iterative and based on constant learning and mutual alignment;

UPHOLDING that the EOSC Summit marked the beginning and not the end of this process,

one based on continuous engagement with scientific stakeholders, the European Commission,

PROPOSES that all EOSC stakeholders consider sharing the following intents and will

actively support their implementation in the respective capacities:

Data culture and FAIR data

[Data culture] European science must be grounded in a common culture of data stewardship, so

that research data is recognised as a significant output of research and is appropriately curated

throughout and after the period conducting the research. Only a considerable cultural change will

enable long-term reuse for science and for innovation of data created by research activities: no

disciplines, institutions or countries must be left behind.

[Open access by-default] All researchers in Europe must enjoy access to an open-by-default,

efficient and cross-disciplinary research data environment supported by FAIR data principles.

Open access must be the default setting for all results of publicly funded research in Europe,

allowing for proportionate limitations only in duly justified cases of personal data protection,

confidentiality, IPR concerns, national security or similar (e.g. 'as open as possible and as closed

as necessary').

[Skills] The necessary skills and education in research data management, data stewardship and

data science should be provided throughout the EU as part of higher education, the training

system and on-the-job best practice in the industry. University associations, research

organisations, research libraries and other educational brokers play an important role but they

need substantial support from the European Commission and the Member States.

[Data stewardship] Researchers need the support of adequately trained data stewards. The

European Commission and Member States should invest in the education of data stewards via

career programmes delivered by universities, research institutions and other trans-European

agents.

[Rewards and incentives] Rewarding research data sharing is essential. Researchers who make

research data open and FAIR for reuse and/or reuse and reproduce data should be rewarded, both

e-IRG is a strategic body to

facilitate integration in the area of European e-Infrastructures and connected services, within and between member states, at the European level and globally.The mission of e-IRG is to support both coherent, innovative and strategic European e-Infrastructure policymaking and the development of convergent and sustainable e-Infrastructure services.

“The e-Infrastructure Commons is the political,

technological, and administrative framework

for an easy and cost-effective shared use of distributed electronic

resources across Europe.”

• ”…an "e-Infrastructure Commons" should liberate scientistsfrom the often complex and distracting business of moving, storing and processing data. They need services that are coherent, managed and above all integrated so that they can get on with the business of research and science.”

• “…we must be careful to not become constrained and stifle innovation in the development, provision and use of these services. The idea that there will be just "one way" of supplying or using any service through an "efficient" mandated or "voluntary" monopoly, has to be avoided.”

➢ Set-up of an High Level Group of Experts on EOSC

➢ to advise on its implementation

➢ Launch of a Pilot action for EOSC in 2016 under the H2020 Research Infrastructure part

➢ To demonstrate how to ensure availability of scientific data and data-analysis services through a cloud infrastructure and design a stakeholder driven governance framework.

➢ E-Infrastructures topics in 2017 H2020 calls for federation & interoperability of data infrastructures

➢ Further substantial investments in the 2018-2020 WP

Involvement of MS & engagement of science communities is crucial

A Nordic Open Science

Cloud?

1) There is enough homogeneity, interest, and readiness in the Nordics to support such endeavour;

2) We can achieve more by working together rather than separately (Nordic Added Value)

3) This could allow us to move faster than the rest of Europe, lead by example, and influencethe EOSC developments & agenda;

Who?

1) National e-Infrastructures (CSC, SNIC, SIGMA, DEIC, etc.) as NOSC engines, providing generic services

2) Research Infrastructures organised at Nordic level (EISCAT, ICOS, EPOS, CLARIN, ELIXIR, etc.) as NOSC drivers, providing requirements & thematic services

3) Funders & policy bodies (Ministries, Research Councils & Academies, Nordforsk, etc.) as NOSC supporters, providing advice and steering strategic & policy direction

4) NeIC as NOSC coordinating platform, providing the coordination & management layer
