Detailed Call Description
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is a new area of collaboration for many scientific research communities and this call will provide an opportunity to engage more deeply on interoperability across disciplines.
A wide range of activities – including promotional, analysis and technical documentation activities – can be funded through this call, such as:
- Analysis of existing RDA technical documentation and if it is fit for purpose, where it can be optimised in the context of EOSC.
- RDA Recommendations: promoting existing recommendations within a disciplinary community with the aim of data sharing in a federated system such as EOSC, for example integration into horizontal or disciplinary infrastructures and interfaces and implementation scenarios for the EOSC federating core.
- Translating a RDA recommendation into a technical document or a manual and set out how future communities can use it.
- Facilitating a workshop to discuss and compare EOSC Future technical components in an international context.
- Technical solutions or design studies demonstrating the suitability of the EOSC catalogue and marketplace for the long-tail of research data.
- Global approaches including the RDA’s Global Open Research Commons initiative.
Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan
The RDA Open Calls programme will offer up to 2 grants of maximum € 12,500 per grant to support the work in this area. Work has to be completed by September 2023, the end of the EOSC Future project.
