Draft Governance Framework for the EOSC
1 like339 views
The document proposes a draft governance framework for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) consisting of three layers: 1) A Steering layer representing users and providers to determine requirements, policies, and evaluate EOSC effectiveness. 2) A Strategic layer representing funders and decision makers to set the strategic vision, objectives, and performance metrics. 3) An Executive layer ensuring EOSC meets objectives by channeling funding as needed. The framework is intended to be flexible, leveraging existing structures, and applying the European Interoperability Framework to coordinate different stakeholders across borders. Feedback is sought on the proposed model and decision flow between layers.
Draft Governance Framework for the EOSC
- 1. Draft Governance Framework for the EOSC Matthew Dovey, (matthew.dovey@jisc.ac.uk) EUDAT Conference, Porto, 25 January 2018
- 2. EOSCPilot’s vision on EOSC governance Capable of supporting the definition, management and coordination of EOSC components and service providers without imposing a strict hierarchical model or supply chain Define organisational, operational and managerial interoperability, whilst recognising the System-of- Systems will evolve and adapt over time. A rich ecosystem consisting of many different stakeholders and a heterogeneity of services and technologies which will need to operate across a wide range of organisational, community and national borders. Same principles of openness, transparency and inclusion that EOSC seeks to encourage amongst the research community Stakeholders Forum Governance Board (Executive)Institutional funders (Member States, EC) Three level governance model introduced in the EOSC declaration www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563 2 https://eoscpilot.eu/draft-governance-framework-european-open-science-cloud
- 3. Importance of MS and Associated Countries in the governance and decision making Stakeholders have different roles and their participation may serve different purposes in EOSC Governance as simple and flexible as possible, no need to create new legal structure, leverage on what is already existing Federated governance framework for the EOSC Layered governance framework, importance of interoperability between layers Apply European Interoperability Framework and Digital Governance Ecosystem of Internet Unclear relation between the governance model described in the EOSC declaration and governance framework draft by EOSCpilot Involve all stakeholders in the governance, including researchers and citizens Items for the framework draft • European Interoperability Framework one of the founding elements of the governance framework. • Three options for the EOSC Core Resources Delivery Model; one of which does not foresee any new legal structure or organization. • Governance model described in the EOSC declaration included in the governance framework draft, the relation between the two explained. • Community governance model applied in the framework ensuring stakeholder driven.

- 10. Questions Do you agree with these three layers: Steering (representing users and providers); Strategic (representing funders and decision makers, including national funders and decision makers), and Executive? There are a wide variety of definitions of “Steering Board” and “Steering Committee” from being the final decision maker or arbitrator to providing strong guidance and direction. The definition of the Steering layer here is intended to be the latter – it provides strong guidance and direction (but not just advisory) to the Strategic layer, but the Strategic layer is the final decision-making body. Given that the potential terms for this layer (“Advisory” in the declaration and “Steering” from the Governance Framework) are contentious, do you have a better suggestion on how to term this layer? Do you agree that both providers and consumers should be representing in the same layer (given that many communities will perform both roles)? Do you agree with the decision flow and responsibilities between the three layers (Steering determine requirements, policies, principles of engagements, make proposals and communicate whether EOSC is effective in meeting these; Strategic form the strategic vision and objectives based on input from the Steering layer and set metrics for performance; the Executive ensures that the EOSC meets these objectives channelling funding as required)? www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563 10

- 15. Questions How effective do you believe the European Interoperability Framework Domain model is in helping to frame and facilitate the discussions within the Stakeholder forum? How effective do you believe the European Interoperability Contexts are for framing the key areas of discussion within the Stakeholder forum? Are these all applicable to EOSC? Are there others outside of these contexts? Are there other frameworks or approaches which should be considered within the Governance Framework? www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563 15

- 17. Questions Do you think that the structure proposed would work for the Stakeholder forum? Are these other bodies or structures which should be considered? The proposal is currently a skeleton outline, do you have any proposals on how to determine the details of this skeleton, in particular, how to involve the community in developing the details? www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563 17
