Topic: NRENs supporting Open Science: opportunities for coordination

Description

This meeting will explore the ways in which European NRENs and international RENs are already supporting Open Science, or have ambitions to do so. This could be in terms of offering services to help store, analyse, transfer and share data, contributing to national Open Science policy and strategy or collaborating with research communities.

The BoF session will brainstorm the various ways in which NRENs are supporting Open Science to identify shared activities which could benefit from collaborative activity. These could take the form of NREN partnerships, facilitation of European-wide approaches, procurement frameworks and support offered by GÉANT.
