A newly launched national collaborative effort to design and test a prototype framework unifying Swiss research data services in alignment with EOSC, Swiss EOSC Node Prototype (SENPro), is inviting the research community to an online event dedicated to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and how Switzerland shapes and engages with the initiative on October 9, 2025, 9:30 a.m. – 01:00 p.m.
Creating an EOSC Federation of Nodes is pivotal for a Europe advancing towards an interconnected ecosystem of data repositories and services. Not only will it enable Open Science to thrive, but also reduce fragmentation in the national landscape and promote long-term sustainability. By developing SENPro, Switzerland seeks to strengthen its contribution to the European Open Science movement.
EOSC’s broader vision is to establish a FAIR framework for its research data and services on an interdisciplinary as well as supranational level. Aiming to empower researchers, EOSC supports them in the goal of handling knowledge in a holistic process from storage to reuse.
Durring the event, the consortium will elaborate on:
- A comprehensive overview of EOSC’s vision and how research and innovation benefits from it.
- SENPro’s mission to reduce fragmentation, support interdisciplinary cooperation, and co-determine the development of Swiss research data services.
- How to take part and connect with the community.
