EOSC-synergy

EOSC-synergy receives funding from the EC via Horizon 2020
Expanding Capacities &
Building Capabilities
Dr. Isabel Campos,
Project Coordinator
EOSC-Hub Week.
Prague, 10th - 12th April 2019

Project Vision
EOSC-synergy will expand the Capacity and Capabilities of EOSC by
leveraging the experience, effort and resources of national publicly-funded
digital infrastructures in a coherent way, therefore acting also as an incentive
for national resource providers.

INTEGRATION
• Deployment of an EOSC-enabled digital
infrastructure with a critical mass
• Designing a rational strategy to deploy
FAIR National Data Repositories
• Enable auto-training in EOSC
• Explore and implement a MooC solution
following a Marketplace approach
• Integration of production-level National
Thematic Services in EOSC
• Thematic service certification based on SQAaaS.
• Definition of an EOSC software quality baseline
• Service Quality Assurance as a Service: SQAaaS
• FAIRness checking “as a Service”

Project Consortium: headlines
• The consortium has extensive expertise in supporting
the full lifecycle of advanced services acquired through
state-of-the-art research and by providing support to
national communities and international scientific
collaborations at large scale.
• The consortium is very well positioned to address the
implementation of harmonized data access
mechanisms, integrated with the EOSC core services,
that respect EU directives in Cloud security and data
privacy.
• Not only brings expertise on data infrastructures, but also
on National Data Repositories via excellent partners
that connect directly to FAIR policy development efforts.
• Relevant Research Communities internationally
consolidated will validate the service integration
solutions provided in the course of the project.
EOSC-synergy coordination structure is based
on IBERGRID: www.ibergrid.eu
Project management and legal coordination resides on
CSIC (Spanish coordinator of IBERGRID)

Integration at the AAI level
(the Virtual Organization model worked,
but it has limitations)
Automatization of Resource provisioning
(it always worked manually: VO configuration)
In a nutshell
• Policy Level: Actions to be supported by technical developments, notably in
the front of Security (data privacy policies) and access policies
• Technical Integration Level: work to be done/extended, building on the
previous experience.

WP2: National Data Repositories
Open Access policies generated discussions at the country level.
• Open Access to documental information is one thing
(scholarly communications)
• Open Data Access to Scientific Data is something else
EOSC-synergy is an opportunity to pilot concrete
implementations
• DANS is a key partner to bring in expertise in this
domain (direct link to FAIRsFAIR)
• DIGITAL.CSIC has the mandate to pilot Open Access in
Spain
• FCT in Portugal wants to pilot data repositories for long
tail for the long tail of science (large organized
communities have their own solutions in place).
• JISC, CESNET, PSNC and IISAS playing key policy
roles on their respective countries as well.

is strongly commited with
Open Science
CSIC mandates that as of April 1st 2019 bibliographic
references of all peer-reviewed publications made by its
community of researchers are made public in
DIGITAL.CSIC, from the moment of editorial acceptance for
publication and that its full texts are available in open access
on DIGITAL.CSIC as soon as possible.
Likewise, bibliographic references of datasets associated with
journal articles should be permanently published in
DIGITAL.CSIC from the moment of acceptance for
publication of the associated articles and that such datasets be
offered in open access in DIGITAL.CSIC provided that there
are no legitimate reasons for confidentiality, intellectual
property and / or security.
CSIC is the Spanish National Research Council:
• 120 research institutes
• 15,000 employees
• 20% of the scientific production in Spain

§ Consolidation of an EOSC Software Maturity
Baseline
“A set of Common Software Quality Assurance Baseline
Criteria for Research Projects”
http://digital.csic.es/handle/10261/160086
§ Consolidation of best practices that seek software
quality
§ Software Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs),
§ Know-how gathered in EOSC projects (EOSC-hub) to
ease the integration of services in the EOSC ecosystem.
§ Implementation of an EOSC Service
Integration Platform: SQAaaS
Put into practice the outcomes from above

§ Implementation of the EOSC FAIR data
principles
§ Analysis of the outcomes on FAIR practices
coming from the EOSC-relevant context in the
FAIRsFAIR project
§ Design of a technical framework to check
FAIRness operationally at the level of:
implementation, validation and monitoring.
§ The framework will leverage from the architecture
and technical solutions from the SQAaaS work.

Adding training as fully-fledged EOSC
Portal component
CURRENT SITUATION
o Lack of a global EOSC wide coherent approach to training.
o Training materials scattered.
o Lack of funding for training in situ.
EOSC-SYNERGY will
ü Add training as fully-fledged EOSC Portal component.
ü Provide guidelines and recommendations for high-quality training
materials, oriented to training the trainers.
ü Provide infrastructure to support self-learning.
ü Provide infrastructure for massive open online courses (MOOCs).
