📣 In our current series we are introducing our fellow EOSC Family projects, their mission, consortium, and values. 💡 In this installment we are introducing the OSCARS project. This project aims to strengthen the role of Science Clusters in the European Research Area by promoting data processing and management solutions. This will foster the uptake of Open Science in Europe by consolidating the achievements into lasting interdisciplinary FAIR data services and working practices across scientific disciplines and communities.

📣 In our current series we are introducing our fellow EOSC Family projects, their mission, consortium, and values. 💡 In this installment we are introducing the OSTrails project. This project aims to improve the way we plan, track, and assess scientific knowledge. It will work on already existing methods, expanding them to different countries and themes and connecting key parts for Research & Innovation.

🎉 Another successful EOSC Symposium wrapped up on October 23rd! Over 1300 participants from various EOSC Association projects, interested stakeholders and 60 nations all over the world joined the sessions online and in-person, contributing to an eventful symposium. 💡 During the three days of the symposium, a myriad of sessions were held, targeting topics from FAIRness and various data issues, to the EOSC Federation and project impacts. Several EOSC4Cancer consortium members were present in the symposium and followed the sessions. Read More: emp.onl/20lEe

We have wrapped on day 2 of the Symposium and there is much to celebrate! The mouth-watering juxtaposition of the Symposium’s first scientific keynote presentation with the European Commission’s public launch of the #EOSC EU Node — the first EOSC Node! — combined the long view for the potential #scientific and #societal impacts of EOSC with the sprouting of the first seed in the ground for the EOSC Federation. A theme that is developing across #European policy circles and within this Symposium is the idea that accessibility to #data is this century’s oil and gold. Next came the world’s first glimpse of an EOSC Node, the EOSC EU Node, rolled out by Commission representatives from DG CNECT and DG RTD. Acting director of DG CNECT, Gustav Kalbe, placed EOSC within the bigger picture of the global #digital infrastructure that will enable frontier #science, taking its place alongside the other outsize undertakings of High-Performance Computing and #AI. This framing set the context for the day’s remaining discussions, which centred on the developing process to enrol EOSC Nodes, the early chapters of the how-to oriented EOSC Federation Handbook, the roles of national EOSC Nodes in relation to those of thematic EOSC Nodes, and the work in progress to advance their interoperability. The official launch of the EOSC EU Node was a historic moment and a big success. As Kalbe said during his video message, a new era has begun.

Day 1 recap of EOSC Symposium 2024: Key highlights and takeaways Today we welcomed around 460 participants in Berlin and another 900 online viewers, together representing 60 nations, including 25 countries outside of Europe. As it enters its operational phase, the message is clear: #EOSC is becoming an increasingly global endeavour central to European competitiveness. Opening the meeting via video address was the German Minister for Education and Research Bettina Stark-Watzinger, who, in recognising EOSC as an enabler for researchers, had a simple message: National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) goes EOSC, and it is time for all countries in Europe to go EOSC! Also via video address, European Commissioner Iliana Ivanova threw the full weight of the Commission behind EOSC, reaffirming its commitment in strong terms. In this she was echoed by Deputy DG for DG-RTD, Signe Ratso, who positioned EOSC as a central pillar in the European Research Area, and by former Italian prime minister Enrico Letta who declared EOSC to be of “the greatest importance” to the 5th freedom coined by his report on the future of the European single market: a European #knowledge commons dedicated to #research, #innovation, knowledge and education. The opening plenary was complemented by sessions on societal and economic impact, security of sensitive data, the new Opportunity Area Expert Groups, the EOSC collaboration with the European Health Data Space, and software development for EOSC, including presentations from several of the Horizon Europe INFRAEOSC projects across these sessions. #EOSCsymposium #EOSCsymposium2024 Photos by Andrew Grauman

🎉 The 2024 #EOSCSymposium is already underway! Over the next three days 450 in-person and 900 online participants will address, among other things, the ambitions of the EOSC Federation, the launch of the EOSC EU Node, the EOSC landscape, and more. 💡 Several EOSC4Cancer consortium members are participating in the three days in Berlin. Salvador Capella Gutierrez, EOSC4Cancer Co-Coordinator, is part of the roundtable discussion of the EHDS session where he represented our project. We excitedly await the engaging discussions that will follow in the next two days! EOSC Association

📣 In our current series we are introducing our fellow EOSC Family projects, their mission, consortium, and values. 💡 In this installment we are introducing the CRAFT-OA project. This project aims to make state-of-the-art Open Access publishing available to everyone by making it more resilient and centralized.

Last week, on October 2nd-3rd, project partners and consortium members gathered in Barcelona for the second EOSC4Cancer General Assembly Meeting, discussing the progress made during the previous year and the next steps for the last stretch of the project. Over 90 participants from partner organizations and beyond attended the in-person and online sessions, contributing to integral discussions on the project’s developments, growth possibilities, strengths, and future efforts. This assembly was a pivotal point in strengthening communication and collaboration among consortium members and partners before the project’s final months.

🎉 The second day of the EOSC4Cancer GAM 2024 was a success, concluding this year’s General Assembly Meeting. 💼 The second day followed on the steps of yesterday’s engaging discussions. Following a recap of the first day’s events, an open discussion was held on the plans for the final stretch of EOSC4Cancer, followed by a feedback meeting of the Ethics and Scientific Advisory Board. On a broader spectrum, EOSC4Cancer European Commission Project Officer Francesco Gatto held a talk on Dissemination and Exploitation of research project results. This was followed by another engaging presentation by Angelo Solimini of the European Commission, who gave an update on the upcoming plans of the EU Mission on Cancer. 💡 The keynote session, Building a Federated Data Infrastructure for Cancer Imaging, was held by Luis Marti-Bonmati of project partner European Federation for Cancer Images (EUCAIM). An open discussion on moving forward in the project brought the assembly to a great end. Barcelona Supercomputing Center

We have officially wrapped up the first day of EOSC4Cancer’s second General Assembly Meeting in Barcelona – a day rich in productive conversations between our project leaders and partners. The program included presentations and bilateral conversations, which were preceded by a welcome and networking session. The day began with engaging discussions, from a general working session led by WP4 with all WP in attendance, to separate parallel working sessions between different Work Packages. The second part of the meeting ensued with individual progress reports from each Work Package. After this productive first day, we excitedly await the second day of the General Assembly Meeting!
