Dear readers,
We bring you the latest news from the world of EOSC, open science, and FAIR data. At the beginning of the year, another EOSC CZ networking event took place at the Czech Academy of Sciences, attracting a record number of participants. We took this opportunity to interview Professor Jiří Homola, whose perspective on open science you can find in an exclusive interview. The March newsletter continues with the campaign Data Guardians: Mission FAIR, but the main focus of this edition is an overview of current EOSC projects funded by the Horizon Europe programme. We invite you to our upcoming training sessions and share insights from our colleagues who attended past events. Future events await you in our calendar.
Enjoy your reading and have a wonderful spring!
