With the OSCARS work programme and scopes, the Science Clusters consolidate their role as thematic Nodes for ‘Open Research’ in Europe. They will establish and operate scientific community-based Competence Centres and virtual research environments fostering the alignment of practices in scientific open data research. The cascading grant action is aimed at supporting researchers in uptaking FAIR data analysis and providing a series of valuable scientific demonstrators for such a role of the Science Clusters and for the benefit of the scientific impact of EOSC.
