Today, an online workshop of the ESFRI-EOSC task force (https://lnkd.in/dYgUf-X6) was held to learn about the first results of the implementation of the OSCARS cascading grants. 36 participants, coordinators of Science Clusters, members of the boards of ESFRI and EOSC, officials from the European Commission's RTD Directorate, observers from the ERIC forum, EIRO forum, EOSC association, e-IRG noted the success of the OSCARS calls. As highlighted in my presentation : - The OSCARS’s cascading grants call is seen as a relevant tool to provide scientific content to EOSC. - Future cascading grant calls should be envisaged during the implementation of the EOSC Federation to facilitate integration among Nodes and validate their scientific impact. - Through OSCARS we demonstrate that the five Science Clusters have taken paths to become long-term structures, they act to consolidate the close collaboration between ESFRI and EOSC, they support the national institutes and the scientific communities in enhancing their involvement in Open Science in ERA, they federate the involvement of ESFRI-endorsed Research Infrastructures (RIs) and other world-class RIs in EOSC. - There is an important demand for highly composable virtual research environments per scientific domain for comprehensive hosting of open science projects and federation of data repositories. Such environments would enable co-operation schemes with other national nodes (EOSCs) and be instrumental in accessing pan-European RIs, for multidisciplinary projects, including those bridging industries and other sectoral data spaces. - The pilot projects participate in supporting ESFRIs in their preparatory phases as well as in consolidating the work programme of each cluster, while allowing synergies to be structured between the various scientific fields.

We are glad to announce the opening date of our 2nd OSCARS Open Call for Open Science projects and services, which will take place on 14th March, 2025, at 10:00 am CET. The full text of the call will be published in the "Open Calls" section of our OSCARS website. Who can apply: Research Infrastructures, Universities, Institutes, SMEs and large companies, consortia, as well as individual researchers. Individual researchers, or a group of researchers, in different countries of the EU, Associated Countries and beyond can apply with their own affiliation (a university or a research institute). A Science Cluster by itself cannot apply. --- Opening date: March 14th, 2025, 10:00 CET Projects' duration: 12 to 24 months Budget: 100 k€ - 250 k€ Application deadline: May 14th, 2025, 17:00 CEST --- We are keen to maximise the impact of our funding by supporting a diverse range of innovative projects from different communities and organisations. High quality applications by organisations that have not received funding in the 1st OSCARS Open Call, for subjects distinct from those previously supported, will therefore be prioritised in the 2nd Open Call. The organisation and management of the cascading grant calls, together with the mentoring and training activities that the #ScienceClusters will provide in OSCARS, contribute to performing excellent science and pursuing societal benefits by leveraging an #OpenResearch approach. ??

Data storage, traceability, and data use and reuse in the years following experiments is an increasingly important topic in Europe and worldwide. Following the #FAIRprinciples in the whole research data life cycle has also become a requirement of the EC and other funding agencies, for both EU-funded projects and experiments at EU-funded RIs. The white paper titled?"FAIR data – the photon and neutron communities move together towards #OpenScience"* – recently published on the International Union of Crystallography -?IUCr Journal?– addresses the imperative of adopting #FAIRdata principles within photon and neutron #ResearchIinfrastructures. The paper, which will be presented to ESRF users during a?tutorial on Monday, February 10th, 2025 - https://lnkd.in/dvNYuQTD - emphasises the need for open and transparent scientific data management, and serves as a starting point for a common user and RI approach on the European scale to achieve FAIR data.
