This survey by Invest in Open Infrastructure is a very helpful summary of a messy world of #openscience - some key takeaways for me: - the importance of regional and national research and education networks in Africa - an area for funders like Arcadia to consider - the resilience and innovation of Latin American diamond open access initiatives - kudos to Sistema de Información Científica Redalyc, Red de Revistas Científicas especially - the potential of collateral damage from EU digital legislation - grateful for the advocacy of COMMUNIA and others here - a relative lack of bottom-up support/innovation for open science in North America, given the strength of its research ecosystem

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐑𝐒' 𝐄𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩, 𝐅𝐔𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐑𝐒, convened in Brussels on 16 April with representatives from the National Members of BE, NL, DE, EE, PT, GR, HR and CH. They considered the next research and survey endeavours of the Engineers4Europe E4E project. This strategic research will focus on the current and future requirements of the engineering profession in view of the emerging societal challenges such as green energy, artificial intelligence, etc. In particular the specific “professional skills and competences”, often referred to as “soft skills”, were debated but also the current activities of the Central Secretariat and the future course of strategic projects were dealt with. The exchange happened in a positive atmosphere supportive of meaningful change.

📢 Contribute to shaping the future calls of Horizon Europe! 🌍 European Commission has opened a feedback opportunity for stakeholders to comment on the development of 2025 research and innovation calls.  🔍 Sneak peek into next years topics: The feedback gives you an opportunity to glance through Commission's draft orientation papers that outline planned themes for next year's RDI calls.  📅 Timeline: The window for feedback is limited, running for three weeks until May 6th, 2024, at midday CET. 👇🏼 https://lnkd.in/drpns4pv #EURI #HorizonEurope #publicfunding

We are pleased to announce that EGI Foundation Director Tiziana Ferrari is participating in the session titled "The e-Infrastructure contribution to data and research outputs valorisation" at next week's e-IRG Workshop under the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2024. This session aligns with the Belgian EU Presidency's focus on enhancing the valorisation of research results, transforming data and research into sustainable products that benefit society. It aims to underscore the vital role of e-Infrastructures, including #EOSC and both thematic and generic data infrastructures, in bridging the innovation gap and aligning academic research with societal, policy, and industry needs, thereby stimulating the EU’s industrial recovery and revitalisation. #OpenScience #einfrastructures #researchinfrastructures
