At the e-IRG workshop in Amsterdam, we had the opportunity to talk to Barend Mons who is chairing the High Level Expert Group on the European Open Science Cloud, an advisory group to the European Commission. To be successful, the European Science Cloud needs a lot of experts to operate it, Barend Mons told us. Data stewards that have a lot of knowledge about managing and maintaining data. Experts who are well respected with a solid career path. Barend Mons also discussed several other findings of the Expert group, whose report will be published very soon.
We are here at the e-IRG workshop in Amsterdam and we are talking with Barend Mons. Welcome. You just had a presentation here, and you were also part of the panel. One of the things that you focused on, was the European Open Science Cloud, because you are chairman of the Expert Group of the European Commission. So can you tell a little bit about the progress? What is the status of the European Science Cloud?
Our first assignment was to make a report. That report has been delivered to the Commission, it is now going around for consultation and it will be on the website very soon to be available for everyone. We recommend a number of specific actions to follow up very shortly this year.
