9. The UK and the EU
UK Government position on FP9 (Horizon Europe) released very
recently*. UK aspires to maintain a very close relationship with EU
research. FP9:
• A continued focus on excellence is essential
• Open to theWorld
• A mission-oriented approach could be useful
• Should reduce the administrative burden
• Should tackle Europe’s innovation gap

10. The UK and the EU
If the UK is going to remain close to EU
research, then we will want to build on the
excellent relations we have with European
research infrastructure, and we believe that
our EU partners want that too.

11. European Open Science Cloud
.
A federated globally accessible environment where researchers,
innovators, companies and citizens can publish, find and re-use each
other´s data and tools for research, innovation and educational purposes.
Imagine that this all operates under well defined and trusted conditions,
supported by a sustainable and just value for money model.
This is the environment that must be fostered in Europe and beyond to
ensure that European research and innovation is able to contribute fully to
knowledge creation, meet global challenges and fuel economic prosperity
in Europe.
This we believe encapsulates the concept of the European Open Science
Cloud (EOSC), and indeed such a federated European endeavour might
be expressed as the European contribution to a global
research data commons

Knowledge Exchange – recent highlights
» The KE landscape study on OA and Monographs in 8 European
countries (2017) informs Jisc’s work on recommendations for best
practice for open access monograph publishing in the UK and will inform
the planning for a future UK mandate for OA monographs as part of the
REF
» The KE Open Scholarship Framework (2017) provides a useful tool to
examine where the issues we experience are situated in the OS
landscape, and to see whether our organisations’ strategies are
targeting the most appropriate area.

International initatives 17
» Repositories are increasingly part of a expansive system of
diverse services. Including publishing outputs/data,
aggregates, metrics/reporting etc.
» We are working on various European initiatives to provide
long term connected infrastructure such asOpenAIRE and
the European Open Science Cloud
» These services aim to support Open Science , making the
components of research open, transparent and reusable.
Editor's Notes
Me – what I do. What I used to do
Take a little step back. Big picture
Think about open access,such a great thing, so many benefits!
But we’ll busy people. And current demands from researchers, from university management, and the intensive work to support mandates, policy and financial processes can distract us from this.
Why am I saying this regarding international?
Researchers have always worked internationally.
- while needing local support.
Using local services with different standards, different functionality, different ownership. Creates barriers.
Tools that accommodate different laws, policies, environment (funders, support), authentication. Not restricted to those who are licensed to use them
Eg tdm platform. – all need access and it needs to connect to the data sources, stores, compute.
I was at a roundtable at CNI (US based member org) – on repository strategies, one of the things that struck me as all said how critical the institutional repository was. A stable place for the scholarly record to be maintained, a natural habour. Even if other things come and go.
There is a global connected web of services that can support scholarship. This doesn’t really represent the world today – but the world we would like to see in the future.
repositories, are probably the key component (next slide, then back). Universities tend to stick around (less so in the future?)- the ideal place to store the scholarly record.
But being connected to a wider world can add so much value. And save money.
Publication router – which we heard about earlier today – is an example of this.
What if metadata could be shared by all these platforms and services,
and where it is added, and where it is used are independent.
And connections made between outputs of all types

Data,
Active data – working together, openly,
GEANT: Provides a high-speed network that pushes the boundaries of networking technology whilst delivering a cost-effective, pan-European infrastructure. Large research projects rely on GÉANT for outstanding service availability and service quality. A separate ultra-high-speed internet, just for research and education. It also offers a wide range of services including IP and dedicated circuits, testbeds and virtualised resources, authentication and roaming, monitoring and troubleshooting, advisory and support services, such as Jisc’s Eduroam to Europe.
EGI: advanced computing for research; federated cloud providers and data centres.The services can be requested by everyone involved in academic research and businesses via the EGI Marketplace.
EUDAT: Research Data Services, Expertise & Technology Solutions; also provides training and works with the EOSC
EOSC: a very ambitious undertaking by the EU and partners to promote open science. It connects with multiple projects, such as EUDAT and OpenAIRE Advance.
Headline points: ❑ Build on existing infrastructure and expertise ❑ Devise Rules of Engagement ❑ EU contribution to FAIR data and Open Science ❑ Build links to regional Cloud(s) around the globe ❑ Develop expertise ❑Half a million ‘core data scientists’ in Europe ❑5% of total research spend should be on data stewardship
OpenAIRE Advance: continuing the work on OpenAIRE2020, which helped with policy compliance for Horizon2020 projects, in addition to creating a metrics portal, a funders’ dashboard, and a range of services which promote Open Science throughout the world.
OpenAIRE Connect: working on some governance issues, as well as building a “catch all broker” connecting publishers’ content, CRISes, and academic outputs, similar in some ways to Jisc’s Publications Router.
Key high level framework/vision to enable open science internationally
The 'European Open Science Cloud' aims to create a trusted environment for hosting and processing research data to support EU science in its global leading role.
EOSC - a common set of light-touch standards that national governments and systems can adhere to enable interoperable data-intensive science across Europe.

Knowledge Exchange’s benefits for Jisc include:-it offers us a quick and effective way to check our approaches with peer organisations;
-it allows us to undertake work on some thorny issues that it would be hard to do on our own;
-it raises our know how and knowledge in informing our solutions and work with our members;
it raises our profile within Europe and also demonstrates to Jisc customers that we are engaging in Europe (this is an issue that many senior managers in UK universities raise with us);
it offers a way for more efficient interactions with some international initiatives (for example the international Research Data Alliance (RDA) has engaged KE);
it supports our research enablement and associated impact areas.
Staying connected in Europe.
Probably key takeway here is good reports,
RDM, Preprints, economy of open scholarship, APCs, monographs.
