EOSC Federation Build-up Questionnaire: ESFRI encourages its Stakeholders to participate

The construction of the future EOSC has entered an important phase. The EOSC EU Node is expected to be presented to the scientific community in the frame of the EOSC Symposium in October 2024. Meanwhile, the discussions are intensifying on the aims, structure and tasks of the individual EOSC Nodes that will complement the EOSC EU Node to initiate the formation of the EOSC Federation.

The Tripartite Governance of EOSC is therefore launching a questionnaire to gauge the scale and scope of general interest and readiness for the build-up phase of the EOSC Federation. The ESFRI-EOSC Task Force warmly invites ESFRI Research Infrastructures to reply to the questionnaire as the first step in their eligibility to contribute to a testbed of potential EOSC Nodes representing the different stakeholders involved in the research communities of Europe.

Based on the replies to the questionnaire, several organisations will be invited by the Tripartite Governance to contribute to the refinement of the EOSC Federation concept during the build-up phase. The build-up phase will help the Tripartite to gain experience from cooperation between the future EOSC EU Node and the individual future EOSC Nodes, and to test the different aspects of the EOSC Federation Handbook in practice. The invited organisations shall reflect the different types of stakeholders and organisations to ensure the best possible representation of the various European research communities.

The Questionnaire and further important information on how the survey will be utilised and what participating in it entails can be found at
