The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to the EOSC Federation, explaining its purpose, governance structure, the role of Nodes and their interconnection, and current status of development.
The course targets participants involved in and linked to any EOSC Node within the EOSC Federation who are interested in understanding how the Federation operates. This includes grantees of the EOSC Gravity project’s Preparatory and Interproject cascading grant calls, as well as organisations and experts across the EOSC community seeking to deepen their knowledge of the Federation and the processes that support its development.
This course will present the purpose, objectives, governance framework, and key achievements of the EOSC Federation, while also outlining the next steps in its evolution. The session will be complemented by training materials based on the Federation Handbook, videos as well as insights and lessons learned to date.
By the end of this course, the learner will:
- Be able to understand the historical background of the EOSC Federation and main drivers for its development;
- Identify the governance structures and the decision-making process;
- Reflect on the major challenges and obstacles in engaging in the Federation development;
- Identify the lessons learned and added value of the EOSC Federation, considering the first wave of Nodes;
- Formulate questions to understand deeper the process of becoming a node.
