Deutschland und die Niederlande für rasches Handeln bei der European Open Science Cloud « German-Language ForeignAffairs

From Google Translate: "On the occasion of yesterday's Competitiveness Council in Brussels, Germany and the Netherlands have taken the initiative to push forward the development of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and thus benefit from the dynamism of the digital age. 'It is now time to act,' said the Secretaries of State Georg Schütte (Germany) and Sander Dekker (Netherlands) in their EOSC Position Paper, which they presented at the Council meeting.

Research data should not be available on private computers or USB sticks, nor in research infrastructures that only researchers can use. When other scientists have easy access to the data, this promotes scientific progress. Even if a wider public, such as citizens and businesses, has access, this greatly increases the impact and use of science. The sooner we reach this, the better."
