NI4OS-Europe has launched a survey to collect data for mapping the national Open Science initiatives, policies and services in 15 countries of South East Europe. The results of the survey will provide insight into various aspects of Open Science, which will be analyzed to address critical needs and shape activities for setting up national Open Science Cloud initiatives in the region. The activity is coordinated in collaboration with other four regional EOSC projects (EOSC- Pillar, EOSC-Nordic, EOSC Synergy, ExPaNDS) and its results will be used by the EOSC Landscape Working Group in the mapping of the existing research infrastructures in Europe, which are candidates for inclusion into the EOSC federation.
NI4OS-Europe has built five segmentation groups and contacts the respective stakeholders, in order to acquire detailed and reliable information on the open science, policy and infrastructure landscape relevant in the context of EOSC. These are:
- research funders and policymakers,
- organizations performing research (universities, research institutes, individual researchers, research communities, citizen scientists, data enthusiasts, etc.),
- organizations supporting research (research infrastructures, e-infrastructures, service providers, libraries, etc.),
- “consumers” of research outputs (SMEs, citizens, etc.), and
- Open Science facilitators (European, regional or national initiatives and individuals supporting OS).
- The survey is customized to the stakeholders’ role and expertise in each group each variant of the survey contains a set of questions related to the European Open Science Cloud.
The survey will run until 25 November 2019. The collected responses will be analyzed and presented in a landscape report that will be released in December 2019.
