The newly released article "EOSC CZ: Towards the development of Czech national ecosystem for FAIR research data" traces the Czech Republic's participation in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative. Detailing the direction of the Czech branch of the initiative, the authors underscore the establishment of a National Repository Platform (NRP) for storing research data, a key component of the prospective National Data Infrastructure (NDI). Learn more about this pioneering project in the ensuing text.
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative is gaining ground in the Czech Republic. The article, authored by Matej Antol, Jiří Marek, Michaela Capandová, Jaroslav Juráček, and Luděk Matyska, outlines Czech efforts towards research data management with the principles of the European EOSC initiative. The primary objective is to develop a unified research environment for storing, sharing, and reusing FAIR research data, which embodies data that is easily discoverable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.
The authors dived into the significance of the EOSC CZ initiative for Czech and European science and the development of NRP as an essetial component of the NDI. Additionally, they outline various services and tools to bolster data management within the Czech research ecosystem. Plus, they conclude by stressing the need for the active involvement of Czech scientists to make this "mission" a success, emphasizing scientific cooperation and strengthening the infrastructure for research and development.
