EUA webinar: Universities and the European Open Science Cloud

Friday, 4 September 2020, 10:00-11:30 CEST

EUA is organising a webinar on 4 September to present the progress of the European Open Science

Cloud (EOSC) and to provide an occasion for the sector to discuss the initiative from a university

perspective.

The EOSC is a major effort to connect research data services, such as storage, analysis and transfer,

across Europe. The European Commission has stated that the EOSC “will enhance the possibilities for

researchers to find, share and reuse publications, data, and software leading to new insights and

innovations, higher research productivity and improved reproducibility in science.”

The EOSC will be implemented through a cross-cutting European Partnership within Horizon Europe.

The Commission has released a proposal for this European Partnership. Meanwhile, a Strategic

Research & Innovation Agenda and a legal entity (“EOSC Association”) are currently under preparation.

The EUA webinar is free of charge and open to anyone who is interested in the topic.

Speakers

Karel Luyben, Chair of the EOSC Executive Board; Rector Magnificus Emeritus, TU Delft

Vinciane Gaillard, Acting Director for Research & Innovation, European University Association

Inge Van Nieuwerburgh, Co-ordinator scholarly communication, Ghent University

Ignacio Blanquer, Full Professor of Computer Science, Universitat Politècnica de València

Registrations will be open from mid-August until the day of the webinar. A recording will be available

for those who are interested but unable to attend.

Call for expressions of interest to select up to four new members of the EIT Governing Board

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is selecting new members for its Governing

Board. Leading academics, entrepreneurs, innovators and researchers are encouraged to apply and

help drive Europe’s ability to innovate. The EIT Governing Board consists of 12 European innovation

leaders appointed by the European Commission for a four-year mandate. It provides the EIT’s strategic

leadership and is independent in its decision-making. Specifically it is responsible for the selection,

designation and evaluation of the EIT’s Knowledge and Innovation Communities.

On 3 August 2020, the EIT launched a Call for expressions of interest for the selection of new members

of the EIT Governing Board. The application deadline is 30 September 2020.

The new members of the Governing Board will be appointed through a Commission Decision, expected

in 2021. In its appointments, the Commission gives regard to the balance between higher education,

research, innovation and business experience as well as to gender and geographical balance.
