7. EOSC Association Advisory Groups and Taskforces
7
Research Careers and Curricula Advisory Group
https://eosc.eu/research-careers-curricula
Data stewardship, curricula and
career paths Task Force
Will focus on the Data Stewards role
and their core activities. To help
researchers to make FAIR data it is
necessary to have professional staff.
Research careers, recognition and
credit Task Force
Will address incentives and rewards
for researchers to manage and share
their data, code and other research
outputs, activities, and processes.
Upskilling countries to engage in
EOSC Task Force
Mainly focused on developments in
Open Science education being
addressed at Member State level
within research performing
organizations. Will assist in aligning
skills initiatives and supporting the
onboarding of these into EOSC.
