Description

The workshop “Prototyping the EOSC Federation: Nodes and Linkages” held in Milan on 18-19 November 2024 brought together 47 participants, including 7 speakers, 12 panelists, and various experts from Research Infrastructures (RIs) to discuss the integration of RIs as nodes, or providers of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Federation. The workshop focus was on the understanding of the collaborative processes for building the EOSC Federation while emphasising the role of RIs as “thematic nodes”.

The EOSC Federation is envisioned as a network of interconnected "nodes" designed to offer European researchers a seamless digital environment for reproducible cross-disciplinary research. The nodes will interlink directly or through the EU-node creating a work environment favouring collaboration, resource sharing and data interoperability across borders.

The workshop participants outlined the advantages of joining EOSC but also discussed the importance of addressing the connected challenges such as sustainability, governance, trust, quality control and data accessibility, as well as that of inclusivity and reduction of research inequalities across Europe.
