Description

This is the regular bi-weekly meeting of EOSC DIH activities under T8.2 of the EOSC Future project. Target participation is to have at least one representative from each partner that is contributing to the task: EGI Foundation, PSNC, EUDAT (CSC, CINECA), TGB, JNP, JISC and OpenAIRE.

EUDAT

  • Discussion on main areas of contribution as the task moves into operational activities
    • Ensure EUDAT services are captured in EOSC DIH material and in pilot campaigns
    • Liasion with DICE project to alleviate Debora who has been quite collaborative for potential EUDAT services requested by business pilots
    • Actively seek and identify industry contacts as potential business pilots
    • Leverage Tommi's participation in WP6 to support onboarding

General Updates

  • PMB
    • WP8 presentation request (2 Nov); Draft slides attached
  • EOSC Documents
    • EOSC MVE functions
      • Deliverable due (D2.5) which is meant to cover the content of EOSC Core, mapping it to the activities in the project, key documents and governance structures. 
      • This spreadsheet attempts to capture the list; EOSC DIH was added (hoping it will stay), but we need to at least fill out the content within the row
      • We should probably be ready for providing what the MVP would be for the DIH, in order to articulate what would need to be funded and how much.
  • Other WP Collaborations 
    • T1.5
      • Meeting scheduled for 15:00; lack of meetings led to varying individuals not being updated on the developments over the summer and post-summer with the EC. Confusion between re-defining and separation between business pilots and purchasing of services.
      • Aim is for clarification to be achieved and everyone on the same page in order to move forward with the expression of interest campaign.
    • WP5/WP6
      • Schedule meeting with Owen
    • WP7
      • SMS inclusion of DIH procedures
      • Call still not yet set up with Matthew V. and Debora T. to discuss how to manage "call for providers" to support business cases; Confirmed involvement of Marcin; Doodle to be sent starting from the week of the 25th
    • T8.1
      • Main activities is the drafting of a joint survey. Draft available (see link in agenda), publication timeline is next Monday. Will be open for two weeks.
    • WP10
      • Preference by project coordinator to have the EoI main page on the EOSC Future website and not the EOSC DIH site, but our site can have a page that points to the Future site.
      • Gwen for other updates: ....
