The document introduces the EOSC Enhance project, which aims to improve discoverability of resources on the EOSC portal by further developing the EOSC registry and integrating additional resources. It enhances interoperability across disciplines by linking regional and thematic providers. The goals are to consolidate the EOSC portal as the main access point and enhance findability and discoverability. The outcomes will be provided to EOSC governance bodies. Benefits for providers, end-users, and policy makers are also outlined.
This project called RELIANCE seeks to extend the capabilities of the European Open Science Cloud by providing a set of interconnected services to enhance support for research activities. It will improve discovery and access to research data, manage the entire research lifecycle, and promote open science principles. RELIANCE will pilot its services for three Earth science communities and others to foster use of Copernicus data and demonstrate value. The overall aim is to enhance support for multidisciplinary research across the European Union.
The document proposes a draft governance framework for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) consisting of three layers:
1) A Steering layer representing users and providers to determine requirements, policies, and evaluate EOSC effectiveness.
2) A Strategic layer representing funders and decision makers to set the strategic vision, objectives, and performance metrics.
3) An Executive layer ensuring EOSC meets objectives by channeling funding as needed.
The framework is intended to be flexible, leveraging existing structures, and applying the European Interoperability Framework to coordinate different stakeholders across borders. Feedback is sought on the proposed model and decision flow between layers.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

EOSC Enhance Goals (1/2)
EOSC Enhance improves and enhances the discoverability of EOSC Resources (Services,
Data Sources and Research Products) by further developing and widening the EOSC
Registry. This is achieved through the integration of additional Resources (notably the
ESFRI clusters and thematic and geographic clouds) as well as further technical
enhancement of the functionalities for EOSC Providers (Open APIs, AAI) and EOSC End-
Users (search and comparison tools, etc.).
EOSC Enhance facilitates interoperability of EOSC Resources across scientific disciplines
by linking up thematic and regional/national Providers (public and commercial), gateways,
aggregators and marketplaces. The EOSC Portal applies the emerging EOSC Rules of
Participation (RoP) and focuses on processes, specifications, guidelines, tools and APIs to
support Resource Providers in making them interoperable.

EOSC Enhance Goals (2/2)
EOSC Enhance consolidates the EOSC Portal as the point of access for researchers
through the facilitation and continuous enhancement of findability and discoverability -by
appropriately design of the UI for example- inherent building blocks addressed in the
EOSC Enhance project - that will make this possible.
The critical technical aspects and features of the EOSC Portal are discussed and agreed
with ESFRI clusters and reginal/national portals to enhance interoperability and offer a
clear path to End-Users.
The outcomes will be channelled to the EOSC Governance bodies for approval and
adoption.

Term Definition
EOSC
the European Open Science Cloud promoted by the European Commission to provide all researchers, innovators, companies and citizens with seamless access to an open-by-
default, efficient and cross-disciplinary environment for storing, accessing, reusing data, tools, publications and any EOSC Resource for research, innovation and educational
purposes. The EOSC is implemented by the EOSC System and governed by the EOSC Governance.
EOSC System
the IT system implementing EOSC. Such a system is called to put in place the policies, procedures and technical solutions needed to enact the delivery of the EOSC Services in
accordance with the EOSC Governance guidelines. Such a system is not a monolithic, stand-alone and centralised IT system. Rather the EOSC System is designed and
developed to be a system of systems.
EOSC Governance
the set of committees and bodies governing the functioning of EOSC and its EOSC System. It includes the EOSC Executive Board, the EOSC Board, and the EOSC Stakeholders
Forum.
EOSC Portal
the EOSC Service implementing a web portal facilitating the access to and use of the EOSC Resources. The EOSC portal is the universal access channel through which all
European researchers are able to access, use and reuse research outputs and data across disciplines.
EOSC Registry
an EOSC Service providing EOSC System Users with a list of live/ready-to-use descriptions of EOSC Resources offered by the EOSC System. Every entry of the EOSC Registry
must follow and be described and updated following the EOSC Interoperability Framework. The following typologies of the EOSC Registry are currently envisaged: the EOSC
Service Registry, the EOSC Data Source Registry and the EOSC Research Product Registry.
EOSC Platform the collection of internal services and the central EOSC Registry which services content to EOSC Portal and to other EOSC Registries or parts of the EOSC System.
EOSC Resources
any asset made available by means of the EOSC system and according to the EOSC Rules of Participation to EOSC End-Users to perform a process useful to deliver value in the
context of the EOSC. EOSC Resources include Services, Data Sources, Research Products and any other asset.
EOSC Service
an EOSC Resource that provides EOSC System Users with ready-to-use facilities. EOSC Services are supplied by an EOSC Service Provider in accordance with the EOSC Rules of
Participation. EOSC Services populate the EOSC Service Portfolio and the EOSC Service Catalogue.
EOSC Data Source
an EOSC Resource whose specific purpose is to offer deposition, preservation, curation, discovery, access, and usage statistics functionalities to collections of EOSC Research
Products from a thematic or cross-discipline perspective. EOSC Data Sources include Repositories, Scientific Databases, Resource Catalogues, Aggregators, Journals,
Publishers, Registries, CRIS systems, and Research Graphs. Repositories support all functionalities above; they are typically used by EOSC Users to share and give access to
Research Products. Databases are used to share and give access to Research Products that are not intended as files described by metadata (e.g. big data collections, LOD,
time-series databases, geospatial/maps databases, etc.). Resource catalogues offer discovery functionalities over a set of EOSC Data Sources by collecting their metadata
collections.

Term Definition
EOSC Research Product
an EOSC Resource that is the result of a research process (e.g. publications, research data, research software, other products) and is made accessible via an EOSC Data
Source. Research Products are characterized/described by metadata to be used for citation, attribution, re-use, reproducibility, semantic linking, and findability.
EOSC Catalogue the list of all live EOSC Resources that can be requested by the EOSC System Users. It is a subset of the EOSC Service Portfolio and it populates the EOSC Service Registry.
EOSC Portfolio the internal list of EOSC Resources including those in preparation, live and discontinued.
EOSC System User
the role played by every actor (human or machine) exploiting the EOSC System. An EOSC System User might be further specialised in roles including EOSC End-users, EOSC
Providers, EOSC System Managers, etc.
EOSC End-User
an EOSC System User consuming Resources from the EOSC to accomplish a task. EOSC End-users can be Researchers, Research groups, Research communities, Research
projects, Research networks, Research managers, Research organisations, Students, Innovators, Businesses, Funders, Policy Makers, etc.
EOSC Provider
an EOSC System User responsible for the provisioning of one or more Resources to the EOSC. EOSC Providers are organisations, a part of an organisation or a federation
that manages and delivers Resources to End-Users. EOSC Providers can be: Resource Providers, Service Providers, Data (Source) Providers, Service Developers, Research
Infrastructures, Distributed Research Infrastructures, Resource Aggregators, Thematic Clouds, Regional Clouds, etc.
EOSC Registry
Interoperability
Framework
the framework that any EOSC Resource must comply with to be listed in the EOSC Registry. The framework includes among others the EOSC Profiles, the EOSC
Onboarding Process, the EOSC Rules of Participation, and the EOSC Portal Application Programming Interfaces. The framework also defines the workflows, the APIs, the
formats, the legal framework, the SLA that similar Registries operated by research infrastructures or clusters must comply to in order to be aggregated by the
corresponding EOSC Registries.
EOSC Profiles
the standard scheme for the representation of resource-related information in the EOSC Registry. The following typologies are currently envisaged: the EOSC Provider
Profile, the EOSC Resource Profile. The Profiles include structured classifications of various EOSC Registry attributes for their harmonized descriptions.
EOSC Onboarding
Process
the process that an EOSC Resource Provider must follow to register the resource provider and their resources in the EOSC Registry.
EOSC Rules of
Participation
the principles defined by the EOSC Governance to drive the processes enacting an actor to play the role of EOSC System User (and any specialization of it).
EOSC Portal Application
Programming Interfaces
a set of standard APIs that allow for the registration, update, export of EOSC Resource descriptions and related information from the EOSC Registry.
