EOSC CZ in data

Implementing the EOSC initiative in the Czech Republic is a complex process. It is not limited to one specific area but extends to a wide range of research areas, which also impacts the everyday life of society. The initiative involves many institutions that need to be involved in cooperation. These institutions should be supported and their progress in adopting the principles of open science, FAIR data and EOSC should be monitored.

In this section you will find information and data on the development of the initiative, as well as key documents and background documents accompanying the initiative.

The Data That Will Matter in 50 Years

What happens if we stop funding research data? And how can Europe connect data across scientific disciplines to better prepare for future crises? These were among the questions discussed at the ESFRI Stakeholder Forum, held in Cork, Ireland, on 22 September 2026. Research data were at the heart of the debate on the resilience of European research.

“Poorly described data are like a book shelved in the wrong place. They practically don’t exist,” explains Petra Černohlávková.

A researcher may spend years collecting valuable data. But if those data remain on a personal drive without proper description, they effectively do not exist for anyone else. Metadata determine whether data can be found, understood and reused, and their importance is growing further with the rise of artificial intelligence. “For AI tools, well-structured and rich metadata are a gold mine,” says Petra Černohlávková, Head of the Repositories and Metadata Management Department at the National Library of Technology. In the interview, she explains why simply storing data is not enough, how the right repository can make a difference, and where AI can already reliably take over part of the work.

Zenodo Leads the Way, but Czech Researchers Use Dozens of Different Repositories for Their Data

Where do Czech researchers store their data, and at what stage of the research process are data most often deposited in repositories? The results collected so far from 193 respondents identified a total of 70 different repositories, databases and other storage solutions. Zenodo is the clear leader, while specialised databases used in molecular biology, genomics and proteomics are also strongly represented.
