This interactive session is organised by the EOSC Association and will provide information on the vision and priorities of the Implementation Phase of the European Open Science Cloud. It will also gather information on new ideas and resources coming from the OS Fair participants that can contribute directly to the newly set up EOSC Advisory Groups and their Task Forces.

The EOSC Association represents a single voice for the advocacy and representation of the broader EOSC Stakeholder community in Europe, promoting alignment of EU research policy and priorities. A key role of the Association is to continuously develop the EOSC Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) which will influence future EOSC activities at institutional, national and EU level (including the EOSC-related work programmes in Horizon Europe). This living document will adapt to the changing EOSC ecosystem and the needs of EOSC stakeholders.

To achieve this, the Association has set up a series of Advisory Groups (AG) with Task Forces (TF) to engage with the EOSC community around priority areas which will be discussed.

EOSC Directors and TF coordinators will first present the charters and remit for each TF. Then we’ll be holding an open discussion, inviting participants to contribute directly to a pooling of ideas, current activities or resources that could contribute or be of interest to the TFs. We’re also interested in your concerns and priorities – what do you not see covered by the TFs or feel is a gap in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. In the end we’ll be summarizing the main advice, resources and outcomes of each in a final panel session.
