Project description
Simplifying European Open Science monitoring
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) functions as a platform facilitating the hosting and processing of research data in support of EU Open Science. However, there is a need for clarification on various aspects and understandings related to EOSC. The EU-funded EOSC Track project is actively developing and operating the European Open Science Observatory. This Observatory aims to streamline the monitoring of policies, investments, research outputs, skills, and infrastructure capacities associated with Open Science and EOSC. It is designed to serve as a trusted platform for Open Science monitoring, incorporating features such as automated data ingestion, collaborative editing, and validation. Within the project, the EOS Resources Registry has been established to provide expert narratives for learning and impact.
Objective
EOSC Track will develop and operate the European Open Science Observatory, a policy intelligence tool that will monitor policies, investments, digital research outputs, skills and infrastructure capacities related to the Open Science and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). Its mission is to simplify and streamline monitoring in the European Open Science ecosystem, to bring a common understanding on how to collect and interpret data appropriate for monitoring, as well as to assist policymakers and research executives across Europe in understanding, shaping, and aligning Open Science and related policies and their implementation.
Starting from the current EOSC Observatory developed during the EOSC Future project (TRL7), EOSC Track will transform the service into TRL9, making it an open, secure and trusted platform to serve as the go-to place for Open Science monitoring Europe. It will enhance it with features to improve usability, engagement and collaboration: automate data ingestion from trusted sources such as the OpenAIRE Graph, incorporate collaborative editing and validation of data, add interactive navigation and search, visualisations. It will complement with the EOS Resources Registry which will serve as a learning tool by including narratives from experts to demonstrate the internal processes towards the OS implementation in a country, and stories for impact or best practice.
EOSC Track will explore the sustainability of the EOS Observatory by fostering a co-design process with the EOSC tripartite partnership and other interested stakeholders. The objective is to align various monitoring initiatives, offer practical assistance in data collection, and generate 360o reports to establish a de-facto hub for all information around monitoring Open Science and EOSC in Europe. Fast forwarding to 2027, EOSC Track will facilitate a dialogue with the EOSC tripartite Governance to develop a roadmap for ensuring long-term sustainability.
