This presentation was given as part of the EOSC Stakeholders Forum Scientific Community Workshop which gives the opportunity to prospective consumers and providers - from both the public and commercial sectors - to discuss needs and opportunities that should drive the definition of the EOSC service portfolio roadmap. This workshop aims to answer the following: - What prospective needs and priorities do scientific communities have as consumers of the EOSC? - How should EOSC facilitate the sharing of data, scientific outputs and services across national and organisational borders? The workshop starts with a presentation of today’s state of play in federating resources and services to enable multi-disciplinary science and transnational access; it featured invited talks from representatives of digital infrastructures, research projects and communities and the long-tail of science. The workshop also involved representatives from both public and commercial organisations in their role as a service provider and service consumer. The workshop participants also took the opportunity to define a list of recommendations giving direction to the development and provisioning of the EOSC portfolio.

3. THE COMMUNITY
• 50,000 users – Biology, Medicine, Materials, Chemistry,
Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics, Cultural heritage,
Geology … and industrial applications.
• State of the art Large Scale Facilities – 5 ESFRI + 25
national RIs (PaNs)
• Data policies implementing FAIR principles – PaNdata
data policy
• 10s of Petabytes of scientific data, curated and archived
for 5-10+ years
• PaNs manage and provide access to data from
experiments across Europe

4. What we provide
Curated Open Data and metadata of quality served by data catalogues
Reliable services dedicated to understanding and to further exploiting these data
Technical and scientific support on these data and data services
Our experience on FAIR data policies and FAIR implementation guidelines for Photon
and Neutron science
Our knowledge and understanding of our scientific community
Our ability to promote FAIR culture amongst our community

5. EOSC expectations
Integration of our data catalogues into the EOSC data catalogue.
Use of E-Infra IT services to deploy more specific services targeted at Photon and Neutron
data type and users (and especially data scientists).
Provisioning of models and solutions to bring small datasets to the compute resources
and vice versa for very large datasets.
Commonly defined service quality levels (Service Level Agreements) and if necessary
upgrade the services to reach and maintain reliably this level of quality.
Commonly defined usage metrics and the adoption of the necessary tools to collect and
publish them.
Harmonization of solutions for federated identity provisioning, authentication and
authorization.
Set up a technical and scientific support structure for handling data scientist (not
necessarily facility users) requests.
Promoting FAIR data culture and setting clear progress metrics.
We need standardised, easy to adopt, well documented and reliable solutions.
