Description
The EOSC Steering Board expert group (E03756) assists the strategic coordination between the Commission and EU Member States and countries associated (AC) to the Horizon Europe framework programme on questions relating to the implementation of Union legislation, programmes and policies related to Open Science and EOSC. The ambition is to foster the convergence of European and national open science policies and initiatives.
The work includes mapping of national contributions by MS/AC to further develop the EOSC. This is done in synergy with the implementation of the EOSC Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) on a European level and aims at a collective understanding of how to assess these contributions. The joint capacity to monitor the EOSC implementation progress together with the transition to open science is the EOSC Observatory.
As part of its EOSC SB work (including its sub-groups) the following policy aspects have been identified relevant to e-IRG:
· Supporting data related skills and competences through (national) policies.
· The role service providers from the private sector could and should play in the EOSC.
· Data sovereignty: Independent of where data are stored (may be a cloud infrastructure beyond the country created/ collected) they are subject to the laws and governance of the country created/collected. Data sovereignty is thus closely connected with cloud computing, data protection regulations and data privacy, cross border data transfers and international data spaces.
