Our paper connecting ARGOS machine actionable Data Management Plans w/ @OpenAIRE_eu Graph got published! jbiomedsem.biomedcentral.com… 3 years ago, we were alone. This changes in 2024, when we'll start the @eoscassociation 'OSTrails' project in collaboration w/ 38 EU organisations.

I'll be there! :-)

The #3rdOpenScienceSymposium has just begun! Following an introduction by our colleague @elli_lib , the symposium has officially begun with salutations from the invited representatives of the Greek government; these included addresses from Zoe Rapti Deputy Minister of Development, Dr. Anastasios Gaitanis, Secretary General of Research and Innovation at the Ministry of Development, Demosthenis Anagnostopoulos, Secretary General of Information Systems & Digital Governance, Ministry of Digital Governance, Professor Nikolaos Papaioannou, Secretary General of Higher Education, and George Nounesis, Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Center for Natural Sciences Research @NCSR_Demokritos the host of the event. While the first guests represented different forms of government and educational institutions, their speeches all shared a common thread; the fact that open access and open science hold a very significant position in the development of both the next steps in scientific research, but also the future of education and development. Emphasis was placed on the need for funding for the creation of the needed #infrastructures, physical and electronic, as well as the need for alignment and coordination of R&D activities on a paneuropean level, to ensure that we all move forward together. Check the highlights!

The first session of the Symposium focused on the #HistoryofOpenScience in Greece, on how the initiative for #OpenScience began and the actions of the Hellenic Open Science Initiative (HOSI) so far. Additionally, Spyros Athanasiou discussed how HOSI has provided strategic and #scientific support for the development and implementation of a national open science agenda, always in sync with the development of the European Open Science Cloud #EOSC, as well as the next steps needed to further strengthen collaboration between research institutions and the adoption of #OpenSciencePractices. While changes in policy on a European level are underway, to better support the adoption of Open Science, actions and initiatives on the national level seem to be lagging and therefore the need for better collaboration between the state and the institutions that work towards #OpenAccess and open science. @elli_lib took the podium to present the proposal for a national open science agenda and policy. Starting off, she pointed out that the adoption of open science is a one-way street, one that we can no longer afford to avoid, as it translates into an enormous cost in funds and time. Notes were made on how the National Open Science plan has developed over time, what limitations exist based on national legislation, the level of alignment between #EU and national policy and the prospect of achieving. The following Q&A session focused on the imperative need for further/ closer collaboration between #OSinstitutions and governmental bodies, both on the level of policy design as well as on ensuring that appropriate and sustainable sources of funding are identified and implemented.

Very nice presentation of @tparkola from @pcss_psnc and @DARIAHeu sharing his views on how research infrastructures support the fulfillment of research needs through technical development and cooperation. #eudat2024

So good to see @athenodorou again after almost 2 years! Thanks once more for the invitation to the @Eudat_eu conference and I look forward to our panel discussion on how einfras and RIs can strengthen collaborations where I will be sharing insights from @OpenAIRE_eu!

Success! Despite the snow, we made it to @RaiseScience General Assembly in #Southampton! Here, @fkarayan talked about the EOSC EU Node and after that we discussed how our analysis system could contribute to the emerging nodes ecosystem.

@elli_lib from @athenaRICinfo, @OpenAIRE_eu is kicking off the digital stage as presenting the work conducted in the framework of EOSC-A FAIR Metrics and Data Quality Task Force. This work aligns closely with the #OSTrails work plan!

This is a reminder incase you missed it...our #Newsletter is out! We’re thrilled to remind you that the latest #OSTrails Newsletter is here. We bring you the most exciting #highlights each month, and this October edition is no exception -Read more: shorturl.at/5i9qM

Really enjoyed our @resdatall session today! Key points from our discussions: 🔗Explored ways to integrate ORCID in #maDMP workflows. 📢 Support for forming a new WG—an essential next step. 🌍 Common API governance, best practices & needs. ✉️Join us: activedmps.org

Key Qs from our @resdatall DMP session w/ @miksa_tomasz @MarekSuchanek_: - What’s the intended audience for a Common API? - Will it make tools fully machine-actionable? - How can DMPs meet facilities/labs requirements?! @OSTrails @OpenAIRE_eu @athenaricinfo @tu_wien @CVUTPraha

🤝Interoperability in action! @resdatall Joint Active & maDMPs session, we @OSTrails presented our work in connecting 70 tools to improve the management of scientific information throughout the research lifecycle. Let’s make research data more accessible & reusable, together!

Live from the #RDAPlenary! #OSTrails partners are co-chairing a session on Active Data Management Plans #DMPs, sharing how we’re working to make machine-actionable DMPs easier for researchers to use in FAIR-aligned workflows.

Happy faces all around! 🙂 Find our amazing colleagues @ancahienola @SusannaASansone @miksa_tomasz @MarekSuchanek_ & Wim Hugo in Costa Rica and feel free to interrogate them to learn what we are doing on interoperability & Commons for DMPs, Knowledge Graphs & FAIR assessment 😁

Today, November 5th, 2024 marks the 5th time that the "Days of Open Science" are taking place in #Serbia. This regular biannual event, which initially started with Serbia's participation in the #OpenAIRE project, is aimed at promoting the implementation of open science and the adoption of supporting infrastructures, however, the greatest success our Serbian NOAD has had with this series of events is the development of a strong and stable Open Science #community at the national level. Our Serbian NOAD @BikiOA will be showcasing all the OpenAIRE projects where local scientists and researchers are involved, such as @GraspOS_project @OSTrails and more. The central theme for this year’s event will be the presentation of the proposal of the new National Open Science Platform, to be adopted by the Serbian Ministry of Science @nitragovrs in the coming months. The event’s panel discussion will centre primarily around the challenges that #OpenScience faces in Serbia, with additional discussions to be held regarding issues in infrastructural support for Open Science in the country. -The event is being organised and hosted by the University of Belgrade and the event schedule can be found here: open.ac.rs/index.php/dan-otv… #DON2024
