FAIR-IMPACT's National Roadshow series is visiting the UK on the 12th May 2025!
What services might a European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) UK node include? Have your say! This event will foster initial bottom-up discussions among potential contributors and users of a possible EOSC UK node. Discussions will focus on identifying data and support services that may be included in a UK node and to collect views from the community on how contributions to an EOSC UK Node might be sustained and effectively taken up by the UK research community.
This event will be held in-person at Conference Aston, Birmingham.
Participation in this event is free but registration is mandatory. Lunch will be provided. Register here.
We welcome participation from data infrastructure providers, RDM support providers, funding bodies, policy makers and the members of the research community.
