EUDAT, funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 program, focuses on community-driven data services based on user requirements across various scientific fields. The document outlines initiatives for increasing community outreach and collaboration through proposals for data pilots, engagement strategies, and training resources. It emphasizes the importance of personal contact and feedback for enhancing service development and fostering successful partnerships.

5. Engagement with Communities III
Data & Compute landscape analysis task, to study
communities and informing about EUDAT
F2F interviews (90-120m), to maximise information
exchange and build relations
Desktop studies, to get an overview using readily
available information
Prefer to invest in personal contact instead of using
surveys

6. Engagement with Communities IV
Collaboration with communities in new proposals such
as the recently approved SeaDataCloud project
Close collaboration with ENVRIplus
Sharing of community analysis
Consultancy and hopefully common service
development
Offer services outside the context of a formal
collaboration:
B2DROP, B2SHARE, B2FIND

7. Engagement with Communities III
EUDAT working groups
Working with EUDAT and community experts on
specific data management topics
Semantics, Sensitive Data, New Database
Technologies, …
Intensive RDA involvement: PracticalPolicies, PIT, DTR,
DataFabric, …

10. Community Collaborations
Any planned service uptake can be seen as a
successful collaboration
More successful collaborations lead to better
services via feedback and new requirements
The most successful collaborations also lead to
new projects with common development of
services

11. Possible eInfra collaborations for community
engagement
Some low hanging fruit:
Common catalogue of services
… ongoing… at least if its in a community
understandable format
Common training & training material registries
…ongoing…
Cookbooks with recipes using services and tools from
different eInfras (fusion cooking)
Long term perspective:
In the EOSC …
