What recommendations for the EOSC?
Stakeholder Category
Number of responses: 46
1. The EOSC should implement “whatever works” and do “whatever it takes” to increase the availability and volume of quality & user-friendly scientific information on-line.
Number of responses: 85
2. Define EOSC interoperability standards so that services can be interconnected and federated. The interoperability layer should be as effective as possible and be based on existing open standards.
Number of responses: 85
3. Define an EOSC Quality of Service (QoS) standards, separate for all elements of the ecosystem (data, data access services, software, etc.), to develop a trustable ecosystem.
Number of responses: 85
4. Introduce, as part of EOSC’s mission, that a state of the art analysis is carried out on a national level for assessing statistics and key assets around the composition and relevant clustering of the community of users, with the respective eInfrastructures & research infrastructures & scientific communities.
Number of responses: 85
5. The universal entry point to the EOSC should provide access to an efficient marketplace of services, with lightweight integration (authentication and authorization infrastructure, order management, etc...) where service providers can find service users and vice versa. Nothing is wrong with a number of multiple entry points which should be seen as a plus rather than a negative fragmentation.
Number of responses: 85
6. Adopt EOSC standards – from international standards - for information encoding and for protocols for data sharing and publication to implement FAIR principles over data and services in a complete & efficient way.
Number of responses: 85
7. Promote the development of services as independent, interoperable and exchangeable building blocks to foster the future accreditation of innovative and/or efficient alternatives.
Number of responses: 85
8. Promote open source development, where possible, for all elements of the EOSC.
Number of responses: 85
9. Introduce a regular assessment of EOSC against commercial alternatives. This could be made to either enhance an EOSC Service, or to support new Services;
Number of responses: 85
10. Simplify early (beta) participation in the EOSC by potential data providers, service providers, and underlying infrastructure providers, by relaxing initial constraints.
Number of responses: 85
11. Resource allocation, particularly for early stage pilots, needs to be dynamic and amenable to change even at short notice;
Number of responses: 85
12. Build a workforce able to execute the vision of the EOSC by ensuring data stewards, data and infrastructure technologists and scientific data experts who are trained and supported adequately.

E1. Create career-enhancing incentives for researchers who open the science that they produce as also indicated by the OSPP, e.g., who lodge high quality, curated data in trusted repositories, share data services to their peers, or develop open source software and services, and make the EOSC a portal to those incentives.
Number of responses: 81
E2. Develop, both at Member State and also EU level, appropriate engagement schemes whereby publicly-funded research infrastructure providers take part in the EOSC.
Number of responses: 81
E3. EOSC should take international developments into account and should be connectable to international frameworks (e.g. the AOSP ICT Infrastructure Framework )
Number of responses: 81
E4. To stimulate the “supply side” of the EOSC, ensure creation of economic incentives for research infrastructure providers to use and co-develop shared facilities and data repositories through the EOSC. This would be supported by the Commission through the European Data Infrastructure (EDI).
Number of responses: 81
E5. To stimulate the “demand side” of the EOSC, ensure establishment of dedicated funding for demonstrations of the EOSC at EU level that would include researchers and their infrastructure providers (e.g., EOSC in practice stories, cross-disciplinary success of EOSC).

S1. Ensure that the WGs and the other advisory structures well cover for the Executive Board the latest scientific and organisational trends and novel ideas for the necessary decisions in those areas.
Number of responses: 75
S2. Harness inputs and pledges of the coalition of doers and support their activities in the context of EOSC implementation.
Number of responses: 75
S3. Ensure, both at pan-European and international level, that research communities pursue advanced partnerships, also supporting with grants and other incentives, so that EOSC’s progress is not dependent on the slowest but on the fastest movers.
Number of responses: 75
S4. Guidelines and rules should be clearly separated into (i) domains for which stability and trustability are important and (ii) domains for which progress must take place rapidly. The former should have rules and instructions that remain stable in time, whereas the latter should be run by living documents, facilitating innovation and change. All guidelines and rules should be accounted for in the establishment and progress of the WGs.
