EOSC Future is seeking researchers and actors from all scientific fields to closely support the co-design of EOSC.
The EOSC Future project will develop an environment with interoperable research data sets and other research outputs including publications and code, professional data services, and access to resources such as compute and storage and services like data discovery and archive. It will create a so-called ‘system of systems’ that will support European researchers in managing the entire lifecycle of data: from sharing, managing and exploiting their own data to discovering, re-using and recombining the data sets of others.
In order to reach this goal, EOSC Future would like to engage and onboard a pool of diverse EOSC Users (the so-called EOSC Future User Group) that will provide input and feedback on the solutions developed by the project and promote the achievements for its whole duration (until September 2023).
The User Group will consist of at least 200 selected champions from all scientific areas who will support the project in co-designing and validating future EOSC services and products on the user-level.
The application period remains permanently open.

The members of the EOSC Future User Group will be engaged in setting the scene for the future EOSC services and to strengthen the benefits of EOSC for researchers’ every-day work. They will have a valuable opportunity to influence EOSC implementation on behalf of their research communities and user stakeholders they represent. In particular, starting from the beginning of October 2021, the selected user representatives are expected to commit to the following activities:
We are seeking individuals with different research perspectives and backgrounds, prioritising active researchers (at minimum 50% of selected applicants). We will select applicants from all research fields and disciplines at various career stages. Geographical distribution and gender balance will be considered in the selection process. We mainly seek representatives from all European Union Member States and Associated Countries. Applications from other continents will be considered on a case by case basis.
Applications from inter/cross-disciplinary researchers are especially encouraged for this call.
Staff working on the EOSC Future project i.e. directly funded through a beneficiary (its department or unit executing EOSC Future activities) as an LTP or seconded personnel are not eligible to apply.
Submit your application through the following application form before the 15th of September 2021.
The applications will be reviewed by the partner organisations of the EOSC Future project. Applicants will be informed by the end of September 2021.
Personal information collected through the application form will be handled according to the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as explained at the end of this application form.
Membership of the User Group is built on a voluntary basis. We kindly remind you that no financial support is available.
