FAIR and open data sharing in support of the mission adaptation to climate change

Summary

The overall objective of this topic is to accelerate research and innovation under the mission climate adaptation through better access, management, interoperability, reuse and citation of digital information, to be achieved by using and integrating EOSC resources ranging from EOSC federated infrastructures, services and data to guidelines, best practices, tools and metrics for the management of FAIR and open data, and to extend these resources to the relevant climate adaptation domains that are less familiar with EOSC.

Detailed Call Description

The EOSC provides the enabling framework to share, connect and upscale best practices and services by the communities to implement FAIR principles for (open, where possible) data sharing and management. Access to an initial EOSC federation of research infrastructures and their services is being consolidated and concepts such as FAIR data management and FAIR-by-design digital research outputs (data, publications, software, code, protocols, etc.) become more prominent.

The use cases should demonstrate the value of sharing FAIR and open research data, help to establish data sharing and management practices within the involved communities and across the Member States, the Associated Countries and their involved regions, leveraging European research infrastructures and e-Infrastructures. The use cases should provide feedback to the EOSC Partnership on the desired future evolution of the EOSC platform. Special attention should be put on aspects of data harmonisation, data quality assurance, integration and validation of data collections and models, data privacy and security, big-data analysis and machine learning methods, as well as on the socio-economic dimension. Proposals should also foster the creation of user environments that researchers in this field can then use to seamlessly interact with digital information in the framework of the EOSC ecosystem.

To ensure complementarity of outcomes, proposals are expected to cooperate and align with activities of the EOSC Partnership and to coordinate with relevant initiatives and projects contributing to the development of EOSC.
