Description of work
• The work is conducted by the E-MST that includes the ASTERICS Coordinator, the Project Manager,
Technical Coordinator, Dissemination Manager, Financial Controller and Administrator.
• WP1 coordinates the external networking of all WPs, therefore it includes also the other WP leaders
that together implement the networking strategy and will share the corresponding actions.
• MIND supports the establishment of an “Open-science ESCAPE-ESFRI supervisory Committee”
(OE2C), in which the management boards of ESFRI facilities and other major research infrastructures
are represented.
OE2C aims at being a forum to harmonise the joint and efficient interactions of the RIs’ cluster with
all EOSC bodies and to guarantee coordination between the ESFRI facilities and the EOSC governing
bodies on issues concerning the Open Science, rules and standards methodologies for data
stewardship and long-term capacity for European research data.

Description of work
• WP1 will also serve the ESFRI facilities by establishing a “FAIR data management competence desk”
providing support to the definition and execution of their own data-management plans in agreement
with FAIR principles and coherently with the EOSC implementation.
• WP1 will guarantee that the networking with the various projects as well as with potential
collaborators are adequately addressed. In particular we acknowledge six major stakeholders
categories:
(i) EOSC-hub, for strategic partnership in shaping the EOSC implementation roadmap; in bringing
data, services, tools through to the EOSC-hub service portfolio and the marketplace as
discovery platform; establishing technical partnership in various areas of potential mutual
interest, such as AAI, distributed data federation, cloud IaaS federation and cloud PaaS.
(i) EOSCpilot, and other EC-EOSC bodies for the follow-up of governance and rules of
engagement for customers and providers that will be applicable within EOSC (and expected to
be established in 2018)
(i) The INFRASUPP-01-2018-2019 (b3) project for the inclusion of the ESCAPE repository of ESFRI
RI services in the EOSC catalogue, and the INFRAEOSC-05-2018-2019 project for governance
application. […]

The EOSC Secretariat, effectively delivering 360° support to the
EOSC Governance (notably the Executive Board), works openly
and inclusively together with communities to co-create an all-
encompassing European Open Science Cloud.

Overall aim
• FAIRsFAIR addresses the development and concrete realisation of an
overall knowledge infrastructure on academic quality data
management, procedures, standards, metrics and related matters
based on the FAIR data principles;
• FAIRsFAIR needs to deliver essential Rules of Participation (RoP) and
regulatory compliance for participation in the EOSC;
• The emerging EOSC governance structure will use these RoPs to
establish whether components of the infrastructure function in a FAIR
manner;
• Implementation of recommendations from the EOSC HLEG and the
Expert Group on FAIR Data.

WP1 work programme
Description of work
(iv) All other thematic cluster projects supported through the INFRAEOSC-04-2018 call as well as
other potential RIs in order to identify commonalities that could become standards.
(iv) On a policy front, bodies such as RDA, Open Science Policy Platform, e-IRG and the High
Level Expert Group on EOSC. They will be either convened in the ESCAPE workshops as well as
in the external advisory board of the project.
(iv) On innovation and development issues, industries, SMEs and other e-Infrastructure projects
(AARC, GEANT, FEYDA, EGI, EUDAT, HNSciCloud, etc.). A network of industrial stakeholders
already established by the different ESCAPE partners will be consolidated and considered for
potential further cooperation on issues such as services and software developments, RIs data
accessibility from commercial cloud services. The ESCAPE partners would conceive a potential
industrial engagement plan.
Dissemination of the ESCAPE in close collaboration with the other work packages and the ESFRI projects
is one more part of the planned work.

Test Science Projects
“ESCAPE Test Science Projects” (E-TSP) are organised in cooperation with the concerned
RIs in order to validate from the scientific point of view the achieved results by all the
ESCAPE WPs.
E-TSPs will be also leveraged for promotion and dissemination of the ESCAPE results.
They are scientific analysis projects that will produce original scientific results and
publications.

The ESCAPE WPs organisation is inspired by the vision of the partners about the final
deliverable of the project: a Big-Science domain-specific “EOSC cell” to be
connected/integrated in the global EOSC infrastructure and to help setting up the related
services.
Such an EOSC cell is composed of six main components:
1) the repository of scientific software services of the research infrastructures
concerned by the ESCAPE and to become part of the ESOC global catalogue
(delivered by WP3);
2) a flexible science platform for the analysis of open access data available through the
EOSC environment (developed within WP5);
3) the VO astronomical high-level products archive and related services to be linked in
the EOSC framework (supported in WP4);
4) the prototype for the EOSC of a scalable federated data infrastructure as the basis of
an open access data service for the ESFRI projects within ESCAPE and concerned by
Exabyte-scale data volumes (addressed in WP2);
5) the support desk for data stewardship, scientific validation and innovation action as
well as stakeholders networking (WP1).
6) the open gateway dedicated to the public through Citizen Science and
communication actions (WP6).

Such E-TSPs will correspond to some multi-probe key-science objectives of the concerned
ESFRI facilities.
The partners will address them by fully exploiting the “ESCAPE-EOSC cell” services
demonstrating the innovative impact of the open-science data analysis in the EOSC
framework and promoting the application of FAIR principles for data stewardship.
Some of the potential E-TSPs currently proposed are:
- Multi-probe combined Dark Matter search with precursors’ archived data and simulated
data of ESFRI facilities.
- Fast Radio Burst monitoring and analysis through multi facilities.
- Multi-wavelength and multi-domain follow-ups of future Gravitation Wave events.
