EOSC Academy – Course 2 – Applying the EOSC Federation Handbook – online session 3

The EOSC Federation Handbook is a practical guide for facility managers, resource providers, and technical staff implementing the EOSC Federation. This course will explain how to apply the Federation Handbook with the help of real-world Node implementations. It will provide guidance on how to build Nodes and join the Federation. The course targets organizations preparing, or are in the start-up phase to build Nodes and EOSC community members seeking deeper understanding of Federation processes.

Specific goals of the course:

• Explain what readers of the Handbook can expect to learn from the Handbook.
• Clarify what can and cannot be found in the Handbook.
• Present how the Handbook requirements were applied by specific Nodes.
• Learn how to Apply the building of a Node and join the Federation.
• Convey the idea of the Handbook as a community effort (led and carried out by the community), that it is in continuous evolution, and that feedback is welcome and desired (stressing the channels to do that would be good)

The course targets the beneficiaries of the Gravity Preparatory and Interproject Calls who are preparing to build a Node as well as organisations and experts within the EOSC community who wish to deepen their understanding of the Federation and the processes supporting its development.

To ensure the course is as interactive as possible the strategy is to use a “flipped classroom” approach. The goal is to encourage the audience to engage with the EOSC Federation Handbook (aka Handbook) before the session, so the online sessions can focus on high-level explanation and answering their specific questions.
