What is EOSC?

European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is one of the new partnerships supported by the European Commission and the Member States. It aims to realise a web of FAIR data and related services and provides a virtual environment with access to various services supporting open science and the management of the research data lifecycle, from sharing to processing and preserving data. The objective of EOSC is to give the European Union a global lead in research data management and ensure that European scientists reap the full benefits of data-driven science.

The chairperson for the Steering Group 2019–2020 was Vice-Rector Jaakko Aspara (Hanken) and the secretary Henriikka Mustajoki (Finnish Federation of Learned Societies). The meeting memos are in the archive (in Finnish).

National policy on Open education and educational resources elaborates the objective defined in the Declaration for open science and research that creating, using and joint development of open educational resources and other open educational practices are part of daily work in higher education and enable continuous learning.
