The ESFRI Science Clusters, operating as a cluster of clusters in projects like OSCARS and EVERSE, have released the Science Clusters Position Statement on operational commitment to EOSC and Open Research, which articulates the Science Clusters’ vision for the future towards the successful implementation of the EOSC, as the result of five years of collaborative efforts, including interactions with the European Commission, EOSC Association, ESFRI-EOSC task force, and e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG).

To maintain the high-momentum achieved in these past years on FAIR data management and connecting research communities from all scientific domains to the EOSC, all Science Clusters are working together in the Horizon Europe OSCARS project, which has been granted ~25M EUR funding in the framework of the European Commission Horizon Europe call HORIZON-INFRA-2023-EOSC-01-01, under grant agreement no. 101129751.

The SSH Research Infrastructures organised a Cluster Assembly on April 24th, 2023, which marked an important milestone since the SSHOC project ended. The event attracted 70 participants from funding agencies, research institutions, project partners, and all ESFRI Landmarks and Projects from the Group Social and Cultural Innovation.

We are happy to announce that the ERICs have elected the Chair and Vice-Chair to lead the SSH Open Cluster in the year of 2023!

The new Chair is Dr Toma Tasovac, the President of the DARIAH ERIC Board of Directors, and he will work together with the new Vice-Chair Dr Bonnie Wolff-Boenisch, the Director of CESSDA ERIC.
