EOSC-hub and OpenAIRE-Advance collaboration formally starts - EUDAT

"On the 30th of April 2018, the two flagship EC initiatives, OpenAIRE-Advance and EOSC-hub, opened a new chapter in their collaboration with the signing of a formal collaboration agreement. The agreement highlights their joint commitment to a vision of Europe as a global leader in digital and open science and to empowering scientists to reap the full benefits of open data-driven science. Science requires a joint effort and new tools are needed to harness all the relevant information within the research process. Together, the two initiative will provide a set of services and resources that will become part of the EOSC (European Open Science Cloud). The collaboration builds around three major pillars of activities: Service Integration; Communication, Engagement, Support and Training; Governance and Strategy.

Service Integration

From the architecture and service point of view, the goal of this activity is to support the publishing of research/scientific products (research data, research software, experiments, research objects, etc.) in a FAIR way so as to lower the barriers for scientific communities to make research products more findable and discoverable to a larger scientific community, and to increase the uptake of open science by enabling the use and reuse of a wider range of scientific outputs. Service Integration will also facilitate the adoption of data management plans...."
