The EOSC-SIESTA project recently took part in the European Commission’s dedicated meeting that brought together a wide range of EOSC-related projects with the aim of strengthening cooperation and aligning efforts in support of the EOSC Federation.
This event, organised under the umbrella of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), served as a valuable forum to exchange knowledge, share progress updates, and explore opportunities for synergy between ongoing initiatives. Participants discussed how their respective activities can be better coordinated to contribute to the common goal of building an integrated and sustainable EOSC ecosystem.
The meeting addressed several key themes, including:
- Enhancing technical interoperability among services and infrastructures.
- Aligning governance models to facilitate the long-term sustainability of EOSC.
- Promoting best practices to ensure that developed solutions adhere to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
- Strengthening stakeholder engagement across the scientific, industrial, and policy-making communities.
For EOSC-SIESTA, this was an opportunity to present its work on providing innovative, privacy-preserving solutions for sensitive data processing, ensuring that data owners, analysts, and service providers can collaborate securely within EOSC. The project’s contributions are designed to enable trusted and compliant data sharing, fostering confidence and supporting the uptake of EOSC services across diverse domains.
By participating in this meeting, EOSC-SIESTA reaffirmed its commitment to the shared vision of a federated, inclusive, and open environment for European science. The discussions and connections established during the event will help to further align SIESTA’s developments with the broader EOSC framework, ensuring maximum impact and relevance for the European research community.
