Governance Development Forum Enable stakeholders to contribute to the governance development A platform for information, dialogue, and development http://eoscpilot.eu/about/governance www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

EOSC Governance Development Forum Direct input from stakeholders/members Dialogue, meetings, statements, whitepapers Surveys … www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Results of the questionnaire - Ways to engage stakeholders in the development of the EOSC governance framework

Target group of the questionnaire Participants from three EOSC stakeholder workshops in 2015 and 2016: - 30 November 2015, Brussels: organised by HLEG EOSC to discuss the challenges and possible solutions for EOSC. - 5 Feb 2016, Rome: organised by EUDAT, EGI, OpenAIRE, GÉANT, and LIBER to understand the roles of e-Infrastructures and RIs in EOSC. - 29 June 2016, Brussels: organised by EC for Member State representatives to discuss preparation of a roadmap outlining the governance and funding of EOSC. Questionnaire sent to 68 respondents - 21 responses. Respondents mainly represented RIs followed by e- Infrastructures. Funding Bodies the least represented. www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Report about questionnaire A report with results and some conclusions is available: http://eoscpilot.eu/about/governance www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Main issues discussed in workshops Further Explanation Scope of EOSC and communication Should EOSC become a physical cloud infrastructure or a set of principles guiding a federated implementation (rules of engagement) a clear definition of what EOSC is importance and role of the research infrastructures use cases www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Main issues discussed in workshops Further Explanation Governance and funding of EOSC These should be based on strong national coordinating building blocks embed the practical advice of repository managers, IT service operators and researchers in the governance and operation of EOSC governance model must take into account the incentives of researchers to share their data synergies between research infrastructures and e-infrastructures governance structure that involves stakeholders compliance to GDPR and its national implementations to gather funders from member states together for a discussion www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Main issues discussed in workshops Further Explanation Acceptance of FAIR principles HLEG report, doubts around if the full research community or the research infrastructures will be standing behind the report sensitive data management and sharing (informed consent management, dynamic consent) sensitive data processing interfacing and interoperability data quality www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Ways of stakeholder involvement Ways of involvement Users attracting users to drive the development of EOSC being better informed and becoming users Research infrastructures ESFRI infrastructures could play an important role disseminating the EOSC into specific communities intensive interaction is needed between research infrastructures and EOSC (also on a practical level) Interest and advocacy groups these groups should be welcome and involved in the governance structures of EOSC e-Infrastructures draw on the experiences of e-infrastructures in regards to funding and governance workshops to capture the opportunities and potential pitfalls of different models intensive interaction between research infrastructures and EOSC, also on a practical level www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

General conclusion “The results of this questionnaire suggest that research communities and the concerned national research agencies should lead the implementation of EOSC and approve the EOSC governance implementation.” Small sample but support for the approach taken by the EOSCpilot www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Assumption about path forward Let’s assume that EOSC to its nature is a federation of interoperable entities This would imply a federated interoperable governance framework Have a look at the new “European Interoperability Framework” for inspiration “Promoting seamless services and data flows for European public administrations” www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Interoperability Framework www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Interoperability Layers www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Towards interoperable governance Legal (policy) interoperability Organizational interoperability Semantic interoperability Technical interoperability www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Legal interoperability Legal interoperability is about ensuring that organizations operating under different legal frameworks, policies and strategies are able to work together Legal (policy) interoperability www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Organisational interoperability Business process alignment Document the business processes using commonly accepted modelling techniques and agree on how these processes should be aligned to deliver the services of EOSC Organizational relationships Clarify and formalise the organisational relationships for establishing and operating EOSC Organizational interoperability www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Semantic interoperability Support the establishment of sector-specific and cross-sectoral communities that aim to create open information specifications and encourage relevant communities to share their results on national and European platforms (e.g. RDA) Management of metadata, master data and reference data should be prioritised Perceive data and information as a public asset that should be appropriately generated, collected, managed, shared, protected and preserved Semantic interoperability www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Technical interoperability Use open specifications, where available, to ensure technical interoperability when establishing EOSC services Technical interoperability www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563
