Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This deliverable D5.2 of the HE project EOSC Focus (GA #101058432; June 2022 - May 2025) contains a summary of the activities of Work Package 5 of EOSC Focus in the period M19-M34 (December 2023 - March 2025). During this period, the work focussed on support of several aspects related to the development of EOSC, such as the EOSC Federation Handbook, the contribution of EU Member States and Associated Countries to EOSC, the sustainability of EOSC relative to service provision in the EOSC landscape, and the alignment with the global Open Science agenda. Insights in relevant models of funding and governance as well as best practices in implementing them have been collected to provide the EOSC Partnership with a solid information base in the process of designing the future of EOSC post-2027. In particular, support was provided to: help EU Member States and Associated countries via the Mandated Organisations understand the EOSC landscape at national level, and the different approaches of the countries to the EOSC Federation, by providing them with information and a forum to discuss the implementation of the concept of EOSC Node at the national level, the creation of a new EOSC policy narrative, the preparation of overviews of funding vehicles that may be relevant for the sustainability of EOSC post-2027, the support of the EOSC Federation Handbook drafting, and the maintenance of links with other Open Science initiatives in the global landscape and enhancement of the overall global visibility of EOSC. D5.2 is structured as a series of topical summaries of work conducted, following from the task structure of WP5, while for some of the topics covered the full reports are added as appendices.
