Through the years many of you have been part of the EOSC roadmap https://lnkd.in/eU8x5uWZ Many projects in this roadmap have developed important tools for the community in efforts to make FAIR data a reality. As useful as the tools and workflows developed are, sustainability and engagement to the research community continue being an important issue to address. Now is your chance to influence its future of the EOSC by filling in this survey: https://lnkd.in/e4eCJW44 Instruct-ERIC is for the next six months a mandated organisation to the EOSC Association representing the ERIC Forum. Any feedback on the survey and coming EOSC activities is very welcome as we advance on discussions. Any questions send us our way and we will do our best to get an answer.

📢 On May 27, the 12th Annual Meeting of the @Global Research Council (GRC) started in Interlaken, Switzerland. This year’s event was organized by the Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF in cooperation with the Fonds pour la Science, la Technologie et l'Innovation l’Innovation (FONSTI). The GRC is a virtual organization, comprised of the heads of research funding agencies from around the world, dedicated to promote the sharing of data and best practices for high-quality collaboration among funding agencies worldwide. From year to year, the GRC Annual Meeting remains the most powerful platform for exchanging ideas, challenges, and possible solutions in the field of research around the world 🌏 Together with other representatives of national and private research foundations, research governing bodies, governmental and non-governmental organizations working in the field of research funding and management, as well as international organizations and initiatives, Olga Polotska, Executive Director of the NRFU, was invited to participate in the event. This year the main topic to be discussed by the participating organizations of the GRC is Sustainable Research in three priority areas: Research for Sustainable Development, Making Research Itself Sustainable, and Use of Research for Sustainable Development for Society. This year, the Ukrainian representative will not only speak as a speaker, but also for the first time will chair a session dedicated to one of the urgent issues of the meeting. The event will take place until May 31. The program of the event will include side events and regional meetings, research sessions, panel discussions, technical visits and press conferences. 📲 For more information about the GRC activities, please follow the link: https://lnkd.in/eUDUfDef

Here is a very interesting upcoming RICH Europe's webinar highlighting opportunities available through #researchinfrastructures within different #H2020 and #HorizonEurope projects and how to access them. As part of that event, meet Lakshmi Bhaskaran, Ph.D. from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and learn more about the #researchinfrastructures available within the ReMade@ARI project and how to access them, if you are interested in exploring and in developing new #recyclablematerials for a #circulareconomy by using #photons #neutrons #lasers #highmagneticfields #ionbeam facilities and more. 👇
