On 3 May 2022, policymakers and EOSC representatives will meet in Strasbourg to discuss the impacts EOSC can have on national and European policies.

The one-day event will centre on the European policy context surrounding and supporting the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative. The agenda’s panel discussions and presentations will tackle a host of trending topics, using concrete implementation examples, including: the status and progress of Open Science, EOSC more generally, FAIR data and policies.  

Please note that the event will be in person and invitation only, due to the limited capacity of the venue. Nevertheless, the entire event will be livestreamed on the EOSC Future website.
