EOSC Symposium 2025: Another Milestone for the EOSC Federation
In early November, Brussels hosted the EOSC Symposium 2025, one of Europe’s key annual events dedicated to the future of open science and research data management.
Seven years have passed since the EOSC Initiative was launched. And two years since the project was approved in the Czech Republic. Today, thousands of hours of work and scores of people involved in the initiative are turning into a major milestone, which is the launch of the national EOSC.CZ portal.
What can you find on the new portal, you ask? Everything regarding the implementation of EOSC in the Czech Republic. First of all, you will find out about the twelve working groups, including the possibility of getting involved in their activities. We would really appreciate it if you put your mind to work and help us to complete and perfect the project.
On the portal, you can also learn about the basic information and principles of the entire initiative or key activities of the EOSC-CZ Secretariat, which is the central administrative unit for the functionality of the whole project. On the Training Centre subpage, you will find out about the activities related to the planning of education and training. Don’t miss a single important piece of information or event. You will find these in a separate section of the website as well.
Do you have a question or a comment? Then don’t hesitate to contact us via the e-mail address in the Contact tab.
Finally, we would like to add that you are currently using a beta version of the portal; we will be introducing the English version on 1 June.
And now, don’t let us distract you any further. We wish you a pleasant reading and browsing experience.
The EOSC-CZ team
In early November, Brussels hosted the EOSC Symposium 2025, one of Europe’s key annual events dedicated to the future of open science and research data management.
Three new European open calls have been launched to support the growth of the EOSC Federation and the integration of new nodes and services into Europe’s open science infrastructure. The calls differ in their focus and type of support — from the enrolment of new EOSC Nodes to preparatory grants and projects expanding the range of services within existing nodes. The deadline for all three calls is 18 February 2026. Interested applicants can join a series of informative webinars 13, 18 and 20 November 2025, which will explain the details of the calls and provide guidance for the application process.
