The first report of the European Commission's High Level Expert Group (HLEG) on the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) has now been published.
The report makes a number of recommendations to the Commission on a preparatory phase for the European Open Science Cloud.
Policy recommendations:
- Take immediate, affirmative action on the EOSC in close concert with Member States.
- Close discussions about the 'perceived need'.
- Build on existing capacity and expertise where possible.
- Frame the EOSC as the EU contribution to an Internet of FAIR Data and Services underpinned with open protocols.
Governance recommendations:
- Aim at the lightest possible, internationally effective governance.
- Guidance only where guidance is due (this relates to technical issues, best practices and social change).
- Define Rules of Engagement for service provision in the EOSC.
- Federate the gems and amplify good practice.
Implementation recommendations:
- Turn the HLEG report into a high-level guide to scope and guide the EOSC initiative.
- Develop, endorse and implement the Rules of Engagement for the EOSC.
- Set initial guiding principles to kick-start the initiative as quickly as possible.
- Fund a concerted effort to develop core data expertise in Europe.
- Develop a concrete plan for the architecture of data interoperability of the EOSC.
- Install an innovative guided funding scheme for the preparatory phase.
- Make adequate data stewardship mandatory for all research proposals.
- Provide a clear operational timeline to deal with the early preparatory phase of the EOSC.
The High Level Expert Group on the European Open Science Cloud has ten members from European countries, Japan and Australia. Further information on the group can be found on the Commission's transparency register and on the Open Science website.
