The EOSC governance has been put in action, i.e. the Governance and Executive Boards are operating and five EOSC Working Groups have been setup (https://www.eoscsecretariat.eu/eosc-working-groups): Landscape WG to map existing Research Infrastructures, FAIR Working Group to implement FAIR principles, Architecture Working Group to define a technical framework, Rules of Participation Working Group to define obligations of participants and Sustainability Working Group to make suggestions for an EOSC federation after 2020. The pressure for these Working Groups is high since they are asked to develop recommendations by 2020 to design the steps for the next phase of EOSC. This raised a lot of questions in the various Research Infrastructures about

• what kinds of recommendations can be made in such a short time,
• how will the experience of the Research Infrastructures be integrated,
• what are the plans are to consider such varied knowledge,
• how will the Working Groups work together given the overlap between them
• and many others.

We are happy to have

Sarah Jones, chair of the FAIR WG, and

Jean-Francois Abramatic, chair of the Architecture WG,

as speakers in this webinar and to answer all possible questions which come from the audience.

In particular these two Working Groups will be relevant for the continuation of the RI in future and their integration into the EOSC Framework of a distributed eco-system built on top of what has been established already – for example, in the ESFRIs & ERICs. Abstracting from the different solutions found in the different RIs towards a common core system is not trivial as the experience from RDA has shown.
