The Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment (VRE) hosts different Virtual Labs, which users can access with existing credentials in EOSC, the European Open Science Cloud. Multi-disciplinary datasets retrieved from the Blue-Cloud Data Discovery & Access Service (DD&AS) can be exploited in the thematic Virtual Labs.

In this webinar on #WorldOceanDay, we are going to learn more about one of the VLabs that will expand on the work of the pilot Blue-Cloud: “Carbon-Plankton Dynamics”, which will expand the Nutrient-Phytoplankton-Zooplankton-Detritus (NPZD) model developed in the Zoo and Phytoplankton EOV VLab with the integration of additional data from other regions, and including a carbon sequestration component.

We will also discover a brand new VLab on “Integration of Coastal Ocean observations along Europe”, working on the compilation and integration of European Coastal Ocean Data from JERICO and Blue Data Infrastructures to generate FAIR data products, providing analytical tools for users to explore data in three thematic services: transboundary processes and connectivity along the European margins, Extreme Events and Ocean glider.

Join the webinar on 20 June at 1PM CEST to learn how three European Commission funded projects – CRAFT-OA, DIAMAS, and PALOMERA – are working for an equitable future for scholarly communication, with academic communities at the centre. 

You will be introduced to each project and their individual aims. Following this, the discussion will focus on how, despite their separate focus areas, their efforts work towards a broad and common vision for a more open and equitable scholarly publishing ecosystem. CRAFT-OA is empowering regional journal platforms and publishing service providers to upscale, professionalise, and reach stronger interoperability with other scientific information systems, by providing services and tools. The DIAMAS project is developing common standards, guidelines and practices to build capacity for the Diamond publishing sector. Formulating recommendations of this kind aims to create a more sustainable future for OA Diamond Publishing in Europe. PALOMERA has set out to provide actionable recommendations and concrete resources to support and coordinate aligned funder and institutional policies for Open Access books. Doing so involves assessing challenges and bottlenecks that currently slow the widespread implementation of OA book policy. 

Participants will have the chance to engage with the three projects and their vision for community-driven open scholarly publishing. Be part of this conversation and help us shape the future of Open Access as a community! DISCLAIMER: The information you provide will be handled in accordance with the DIAMAS project privacy policy. This event will be recorded, published and shared after the event - due to this all participant cameras are automatically turned off on entry to the Zoom meeting. The event has a maximum capacity of 500 persons.

The ENVRI-FAIR event is a policy event on the impact of European environmental data on society. The event will focus on how the ENVRI Community uses its wealth of environmental data to boost cross-disciplinary science and provide decision-makers with actionable insights. 

In particular, the ENVRI-Hub will be presented and the connections to the European Open Science Cloud highlighted (e.g., EOSC-powered Dashboard on the State of the Environment).  
 
This event is aligned with the Conference on The Potential of Research Data organized by the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. This proximity creates a remarkable opportunity to foster collaboration, exchange ideas, and explore the immense potential of environmental data for higher societal impact.

Date: 20 June 2023
Time: 14:45 - 16:45 CEST
Location: Lund University, room Lux Aula (Helgonavägen 3, 223 62 Lund, Sweden) and online
Full programme and registration: https://envri.eu/event/open-and-fair-environmental-data-for-societal-benefits-an-envri-fair-policy-event

Together, let us embark on a journey towards a future where environmental data support better decisions and help preserve a planet worth living on.

Poznań Networking and Supercomputing Center (PSNC), University of Adam Mickiewicz, and Poznań University of Technology, together with National Science Center Poland (the EOSC Mandated Organisation for Poland) are proud to host EOSC Day Poland on June 22nd in Poznań. EOSC Day Poland is an event aimed at researchers, data stewards and data librarians, research support staff and representatives of R&D sector. 

The goal of the event is to introduce the RDM policy and practices of Polish stakeholders as well as EOSC-based toolsets for the management of research outputs. During the event, EOSC Focus Round Table will be held to discuss the issue of engagement. The members of EOSC Poland Network (national structure) will meet with the representatives o EOSC Task Forces. Finally, Data Stewards will get an insight into Open Science in Horizon Europe Programme.

Agenda

Open Science represents an approach to science that is collaborative, transparent and accessible, facilitating the sharing and communication of processes and results. There is a wide range of activities in Open Science, including open access publishing, open data and open peer review.

It also includes, however, open innovation and citizen science, or more broadly, stakeholder engagement , where companies and other partners, including citizens, directly participate in the investigation.

Open Science goes hand in hand with integrity and ethics on the part of researchers, it improves the transparency and reproducibility of research, as well as the public ownership of science, especially that which is publicly funded. For Open Science to become widespread, it is necessary to include Open Science practices in performance assessment and career development plans, as well as in evaluation criteria for funding projects and institutions.

The opening lecture will generically address issues of open science and innovation, followed by three thematic sessions, in a round table format, with guests and plenary participation.

Before and during the event, electronic posters will be presented (see here the Digital Posters) in which the University of Lisbon will publicise its interdisciplinary activities and impact on society.

In this second edition of the Scientific Days of the University of Lisbon, the ULisboa Atlas of Associate Laboratories 2023 is published, which gathers information on the 21 Associated Laboratories in which the University of Lisbon is a leader or participant, namely the scientific area of activity, strategic objectives, activities and impact.
