Members of the EOSC CZ Working Groups Elect Their Representatives Again After Two Years
EOSC CZ enters a new phase: this year’s working group elections reflect the shift toward practical use of the infrastructure and the development of services.
The newly released article "EOSC CZ: Towards the development of Czech national ecosystem for FAIR research data" traces the Czech Republic's participation in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative. Detailing the direction of the Czech branch of the initiative, the authors underscore the establishment of a National Repository Platform (NRP) for storing research data, a key component of the prospective National Data Infrastructure (NDI). Learn more about this pioneering project in the ensuing text.
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative is gaining ground in the Czech Republic. The article, authored by Matej Antol, Jiří Marek, Michaela Capandová, Jaroslav Juráček, and Luděk Matyska, outlines Czech efforts towards research data management with the principles of the European EOSC initiative. The primary objective is to develop a unified research environment for storing, sharing, and reusing FAIR research data, which embodies data that is easily discoverable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.
The authors dived into the significance of the EOSC CZ initiative for Czech and European science and the development of NRP as an essetial component of the NDI. Additionally, they outline various services and tools to bolster data management within the Czech research ecosystem. Plus, they conclude by stressing the need for the active involvement of Czech scientists to make this "mission" a success, emphasizing scientific cooperation and strengthening the infrastructure for research and development.

EOSC CZ enters a new phase: this year’s working group elections reflect the shift toward practical use of the infrastructure and the development of services.
Building and connecting expert communities is one of the core activities of the EOSC CZ initiative. Alongside the development of infrastructure and services, strong emphasis is placed on the people who use these tools in practice and help move them forward. For this reason, a series of thematic networking events was organised throughout the past year, bringing together researchers, data stewards, institutional leadership and professionals engaged in Open Science and research data management.
