ECHOES will be featured in the Polish EU Presidency e-IRG Workshop organised as a hybrid event hosted by PSNC, and which will bring together e-Infrastructure stakeholders in Poznan, Poland, as well as online and worldwide. It will take place on Tuesday the 24th June from 14:00-18:00 and Wednesday the 25th June 09:00-13:30.

PSNC building, Poznan, Poland

Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Centre, Poznan, Poland

The event’s overarching theme is “e-Infrastructure activities in the new European Research Area (ERA)” and will cover three topics:

  1. Artificial intelligence
  2. Cybersecurity
  3. EU data Spaces and EOSC

ECHOES will feature in Session 3.

Session 3: EU Data Spaces and EOSC: Preparation for a broader interoperable data ecosystem
10:45-13:30 Wednesday 25th June

The third session aims to address the EU Data Spaces and EOSC ecosystem, focusing on the interoperability requirements from horizontal (i.e. domain-agnostic) and vertical (i.e. domain-specific) perspectives.

Common European Data Spaces will make more data across different thematic fields available for access and reuse in a trustworthy, interoperable and secure environment, building the single market for data, for the benefit not only of researchers, but mainly of EU businesses and citizens. The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), which is the Data Space for Research and Science, is progressing, enrolling a set of nodes, starting from the EU node, to build up the EOSC federation. The session will discuss the developments of the EU Data Spaces, and in particular the work towards an interoperable data ecosystem. News from the recent EU Data Spaces Symposium will also be reported.

Under this topic, developments at the EU level across several EU Data Spaces will be reported, focusing on interoperability and the link with EOSC and Open Science, which is another structural policy of the next ERA Policy Agenda (2025-2027), besides Research Infrastructures.

The session currently has the following agenda:

Chair: Chris de Loof, Chair (short report on the outcome of brainstorming of a workshop on interoperability across EU Data Spaces in Vienna).

  1. Data Spaces and SIMPL, Oliver Rouchon, CNRS
  2. DSSC view on Common EU Data Spaces or EU Common Data Spaces, Savvas Rogotis
  3. EOSC-A view on Data Spaces and EOSC-A TF on Health Data, Ignacio Blanquer
  4. Thematic initiatives, focusing on interoperability and glueing to the ecosystem:
    • Green Deal, SAGE project , Mark Dietrich
    • European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH) or Europeana, Ines Vodopivec
    • ECHOES – The EU Language Data Space, Xavier Rodier.

The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion.
