About the session

Plenary Session 2 Main Auditorium

Research funding, support and reward Main Auditorium Chair: Charlie Rapple Kudos.

With a focus on the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Barend will discuss how FAIR Data and GO FAIR are related to it, and how the ‘article (+)’ approach is failing contemporary science. We need to switch to a ‘data (+)’ approach, according to the former chair of the High Level Expert Group of the EOSC. The final aim is an Internet of FAIR Data and Services, where virtual machines and data find each other to enable a global social machine to drive Open Science.
