About OSCARS

OSCARS is a four-year Horizon Europe project that will foster the uptake of Open Science in Europe by consolidating the achievements of world-class European RIs in the ESFRI roadmap and beyond into lasting interdisciplinary FAIR data services and working practices across scientific disciplines and communities.

 

OSCARS will strengthen the role of the Science Clusters (SCs) in the European Research Area (ERA) by developing Community-based Competence Centres (CCCs) and Composable Open Data and Analysis Services (CODAS), data processing and management solutions, and by fostering the implementation of Open Science projects and services funded through a cascading-grant mechanism.

Two Open Calls (total worth ~16 million Euro) have attracted the broader research community for the development of Open Science projects and services. Together they will drive the uptake of FAIR-data-intensive research throughout the ERA. Projects can be proposed in, and beyond the domains of the Science Clusters, by any researcher or group of researchers, through a cascading grant mechanism. The first Open Call was launched in March 2024. The second Open Call is expected to be launched in November 2024.
