SUMMARY:CESSDA 50
DESCRIPTION:Digital transformation\, open science\, and artificial intelligence are shaping how research is carried out and its connection with society. From climate change\, inequality\, to disinformation – as social challenges grow more urgent and complex\, the need for trustworthy\, interoperable\, and policy-relevant social science data has never been greater. In this evolving landscape\, social science data archives play a critical role in maximising the benefits of research data while mitigating potential risks\, under the principle of “as open as possible and as closed as necessary”. \nIn 2026\, CESSDA\, the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives\, celebrates its 50th anniversary. This conference marks its five decades of collaboration\, innovation\, and service to the European social science research community. It brings together its Service Providers and partners\, as well as researchers\, open science and data experts\, policy actors\, funding partners\, and networks from across Europe and beyond to reflect on its legacy and chart a shared vision for the future. \nThe four-day conference programme is anchored in CESSDA’s strategic pillars (2023–2027) of Data\, People\, and Landscape. The conference is an opportunity for scientific and policy voices to ask bold questions\, strengthen synergies\, and set the course for a future-ready European Research Area. \nThe Objectives of the Conference\nThe conference marks the 50th anniversary of CESSDA. It celebrates its impact on open science and open data in the European Research Area and beyond. It brings together CESSDA Service Providers\, researchers\, policy actors\, partner organisations\, and international networks to share knowledge\, showcase achievements\, and address the evolving landscape of research and innovation. \n  \nOn Wednesday June 17\, EOSC Association President\, Klaus Tochtermann and Michael Arentoft of the European Commission shall participate in a panel discussion on the importance of having strategic partnerships and policy alignment to build an inclusive and competitive European Research Area.

SUMMARY:Summer School for Data Stewards 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Summer School for Data Stewards is a three-day intensive programme focused on developing skills in research data management in line with FAIR principles. \nThe programme will guide participants through the full data workflow – from organisation and documentation to practical use. It will focus on creating and managing data management plans using the Data Stewardship Wizard\, illustrated with practical examples from the national research data infrastructure. We will also show when and how Jupyter Notebooks can help streamline data work\, supporting both analysis and documentation. \nThe programme will include discussion sessions\, providing space for participants to share practical experiences. Attention will also be given to communication skills\, which are essential for data stewards in everyday collaboration. The programme will be enriched by an international guest\, Matthias Täschner from Leipzig University\, whose work and approach we introduced in a recent interview. \nThe Summer School is intended for both project and institutional data stewards. On the second morning\, the programme will be divided into two parallel tracks according to focus areas\, allowing participants to choose the option that best suits their interests. \nThe language of instruction will be adapted to the composition of participants. \nAll participants will receive a certificate of completion. \nThe workshop recordings from the Summer School and the presentations will be available. The event will not be streamed (it will not be possible to attend online). \nThe Summer School has a capacity of 35 participants. If you are considering registering multiple participants from the same institution\, please take this into account. \nOrganisational Information: \n\nMeals and accommodation will be provided for registered participants. Any accommodation required on the day before the programme is the responsibility of the participant.\nTravel expenses must be covered individually by participants.\nThe event is funded by the IPS EOSC-CZ project.

SUMMARY:Applying the EOSC Federation Handbook / Online session 3 (EOSC Academy Course 2)
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\n\nSpecific goals of the course: \n\nExplain what readers of the Handbook can expect to learn from the Handbook.\nClarify what can and cannot be found in the Handbook.\nPresent how the Handbook requirements were applied by specific Nodes.\nLearn how to Apply the building of a Node and join the Federation.\nConvey 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)\n\nThe 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. \nTo 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. \nBy the end of this course\, the learner will:\n\n\nHave detailed knowledge of the Handbook:\nUnderstand the significance of the Handbook;\nBe able to reflect on how to apply it to their own needs;\nBe able to formulate and answer questions on the process of becoming a node.

SUMMARY:Use Cases for the EOSC Federation (EOSC Academy Course 3)
DESCRIPTION:This course introduces participants to the design\, implementation\, and communication of scientific use cases within the EOSC Federation. It will comprise three parts: \n\nModule 1 will present a methodology for creating scientific use cases\, and their rationale of demonstrating the usefulness of the EOSC Federation; this will also include an introduction to expected practical and organizational challenges;\nModule 2 will draw heavily on practical experience from first-wave EOSC nodes of real examples of node-to-node collaborations implemented across the federation\, featuring interviews with Node representatives to transport a clear understanding of the challenges/obstacles faced when establishing scientific use cases\, and how current Nodes have overcome them; this part will be expanded as more scientific use cases are implemented in the EOSC Federation (e.g.\, by the EOSC Gravity Cascading Grants);\nModule 3 will present lessons learned\, including step-by-step guidance for implementing scientific use cases in the EOSC Federation.\n\nThe online session targets candidate EOSC nodes from the next waves as well as beneficiaries of the Gravity Grant Calls\, both Interproject and Preparatory Grants. Through practice-based case studies and practical guidance\, the course aims to facilitate and accelerate the development of new cross-node scientific use cases that demonstrate the value of the EOSC Federation. \nParticipants will learn from existing successful and\, in some cases\, unsuccessful use cases\, explore the processes behind their creation\, and understand the technical\, organisational\, and communication challenges encountered during their implementation. \nBy the end of this course\, participants will:\n\n\nUnderstand how the EOSC Federation’s federating capabilities can support and enable novel\, cross-disciplinary and/or cross-border scientific use cases\nUnderstand the concept and strategic role of scientific use cases in the EOSC Federation\nLearn the process of designing and implementing node-to-node use cases\, based on lessons learned from first-wave EOSC nodes\nExplore examples of (un)successful use cases in the EOSC Federation\n\n\nPresenters (for online session)\n\n\n\n\n\nBeatriz Serrano-Solano (European Molecular Biology Laboratory)\nSara Pittonet Gaiarin (Trust-IT Services)\nTibor Simko (CERN)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Towards a Swiss EOSC Node: White Paper Presentation and Outlook on the EOSC Candidate Node Switzerland
DESCRIPTION:During the event\, the White Paper on a Swiss EOSC Node\, developed in the context of a temporary SERI Working Group together with key Swiss stakeholders in the field of Open Science and research data infrastructures will be presented. \nAs the international research landscape is undergoing rapid transformation towards federated\, interoperable\, and secure data-sharing ecosystems\, the White Paper aims to inform and enrich the national discussion on how Switzerland can position itself in relation to evolving international data-sharing initiatives\, and to support strategic preparation for future engagement—particularly in the context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Federation. \nAt the same time\, a Swiss proposal submitted under the second EOSC Federation wave call was positively evaluated earlier this year. Switzerland was therefore formally designated as an EOSC Candidate Node in May 2026. \nIn this context\, Prof. Dr Thomas Schulthess (ETH Zurich\, Director of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre\, CSCS) will present the current status and outlook of the Swiss EOSC Candidate Node.

SUMMARY:RDA 27th Plenary Meeting (P27)
DESCRIPTION:The Research Data Alliance (RDA) 27th Plenary Meeting (P27) will take place at The Kia Oval\, London\, United Kingdom\, from 6th to 8th October 2026 as an in-person event. This format marks a significant shift from recent practice and may prevent some community members from participating- a decision we have not taken lightly. \nSince 2020\, RDA plenary meetings have been either fully virtual or hybrid\, ensuring broad accessibility during and beyond the pandemic. P27 represents a deliberate pilot of a new approach: pairing an in-person plenary in the second half of each year with a fully virtual plenary in the first half. This model aims to balance the distinct benefits of both formats whilst ensuring equitable opportunities for engagement throughout the year. \n
