Agricultural sciences, Engineering, Earth Sciences or High energy physics are just some of the domains that have Ambassadors appointed under the umbrella of the EOSC Future project's RDA open call programme, running from 2021 to 2023. This network of Domain Ambassadors are experts in their disciplines, working hard to navigate daily research data challenges and carrying out valuable outreach to promote RDA outputs, and the offerings of EOSC.

 

No 'one size fits all' when it comes to solutions for data practices, and this rich and diverse network will work to reach out to peers in their field to gain a deeper understanding of what is required to push forward the agenda of Open Science and data management.

Funded by the EOSC Future project, this diverse programme serves to gain a deeper understanding of disciplinary community needs and will provide in turn the EOSC with a domain insights, in particular communities that might need more support to engage with open science practices and EOSC.
