The successful applicants of the first OSCARS Cascading Grant Call for Open Science have been announced and can be viewed on the OSCARS website. Each selected proposal will be funded with a lump sum between 100,000 and 250,000 EUR and has to be implemented in a period between 12 and 24 months. A second call is expected to be opened in January 2025. Overall, OSCARS Open Calls have a total worth of around 16 million EUR.
The Open Calls are integral to the ambitious four-year project, which aims to foster the uptake of Open Science in Europe by developing long-term interdisciplinary FAIR data services and working practices. CLARIN is proud to be participating in OSCARS as part of the SSHOC cluster, together with DARIAH and CESSDA.
CLARIN is delighted to note the success of several project proposals that are immediately relevant, by either involving CLARIN nodes, making use of CLARIN resources or services, or aiming to publish their resulting data and methods via the infrastructure.
In addition, the following projects are relevant to the SSHOC community and the Open Science domain more generally: AMIS - Advanced Metadata Intelligent System, FASCA - Facilitating Scholarly Communication Analysis through GoTriple Pipeline, OSPARK Bootcamp - Open Science Promotion and Advocacy for Research Knowledge Bootcamp, CODEMETASOFT - a framework to streamline the management, enrichment, and propagation of RS metadata.
The second round of the OSCARS Open Call for Open Science Projects and Services has been postponed to 15 January 2025. More information can be found here.
