Making open science the new normal is the first General Objective of the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). The activities of OAEG5 are essential for this to happen, ensuring research communities are aware, engaged, skilled and rewarded to practice open science.
Approach
Experts from various countries, domains, and projects, including EOSC projects and beyond, will collaborate to identify the current status and define the next steps for OAEG5 activities in supporting the four Strategic Pillars of the Multi-Annual Roadmap (MAR) 2026-2027.
Objectives
Review each Strategic Pillar and map existing activities to the Pillars
Identify next steps for activities, including collaborative opportunities
Identify activities that cannot be directly mapped to the Strategic Pillars but still need to be progressed, and define an approach plan for them
