European Open Science Cloud • Appropriate governance and financing mechanisms

• Consolidate e-infrastructure platforms and federate existing research infrastructures > Cloud based services

• Define Implementation Roadmap

• Make Open Data the default option (opt outs)

• Make Data Management Plans (DMP) mandatory for all Horizon 2020 beneficiaries

• Connect your national priority research infrastructures to the EOSC

• A clear action plan for research data interoperability.

• Foster Global cooperation

• Agree with international partners to mandate common mandatory/reciprocal rules (with opt out) for

–open access to publicly funded research data on a global scale.

• Building capacity along European Data Expert and storage Nodes

• Develop training and guidance documents on the ORD pilot and DMPs

• Consider a follow up initiative to the 2012 Recommendation, requesting Member States to step up their

–commitment and activities on research data sharing (timing tbd).

A Common Endeavour (EU Perspective)

European Open Science Cloud .

A federated globally accessible environment where researchers, innovators, companies and citizens can publish, find and re-use each other´s data and

tools for research, innovation and educational purposes.

Imagine that this all operates under well defined and trusted conditions, supported by a sustainable and just value for money model.

This is the environment that must be fostered in Europe and beyond to ensure that European research and innovation is able to contribute fully to

knowledge creation, meet global challenges and fuel economic prosperity in Europe.

This we believe encapsulates the concept of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), and indeed such a federated European endeavour might be

expressed as the European contribution to a global research data commons

Principles for Open Scholarly Infrastructures

»Everything we have gained by opening content and data will be under threat if we allow the enclosure of scholarly infrastructures. We propose a set of principles by which Open Infrastructures to support the research community could be run and sustained.

Rules of engagement

»3 pillars of trust

» Governance – (good governance, inclusive, what happens in wind down)» Sustainability – (short-term funds for short-term purposes, have a surplus, models based on paid for services not data )» Insurance – (what happens when it goes wrong)

» Implementation …ORCID example, others ?

There is more then e-infrastructure to the EOSC

RICH - Madrid - Open Science In Europe, April 2016

Sustainability need also to be ensured for Open Access policies and

infrastructure1. Adopt sound governance structures with greater representation from funders and policy makers, promoting the wider use of crucial identifiers and standards

2. Ensure the financial sustainability of critical services, particularly the DOAJ and SHERPA services

3. Create an integrated infrastructure for OA repositories based on central ‘nodes’, interoperability across the broader landscape, and increased engagement with the European Commission’s OpenAIRE project and the work of the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR)

4. Invest strategically in OA services in order to create a coherent OA infrastructure that is efficient, integrated and representative of all stakeholders
