Jan Bot (SURFsara BV)

Description

ABSTRACT The Dutch National e-Infrastructure has been in flux over the last couple of years. With the addition of SURFsara to SURF, the Dutch Open Science ambitions, and changing responsibilities towards national stakeholders, the role of SURF and its partners has changed. New outreach methodologies have been adopted and greater focus has been put on collaboration, which include collaborations with national funders, research projects and scientific institutions. This talk will highlight some of the trade-offs that have been made and which results they have yielded. ABOUT THE SPEAKER Jan Bot is a community manager at SURFsara. He leads the Support4research project in which SURF together with national partners tries to tailor the national services to the needs of the Dutch research community. He is a member of the outreach team of EUDAT, works as the Dutch liaison for EGI and leads the "EOSC Service Portfolio" task (WP5.2) in EOSCpilot. Jan has a background in bioinformatics and has been working on outreach and support for the last 9 years.
