Research Data Gouv, a national infrastructure present on the European scene

Updated at: 27/01/2025

Recherche Data Gouv aims to converge with European levels, in particular through two actions:

  

 

Contribute to the setup  of the European network  of trustworthy data repositories

Recherche Data Gouv is involved in the FIDELIS project from 2025 onwards:

  • Contribute to the definition of “trustworthy”
  • Share and harmonise support best practices
  • Deal with technical and semantic interoperability, through a better use of controlled vocabularies
  • Develop our national strategy coherently within the European landscape
  • Enhance international visibility of French research data

 

 

Join the EOSC Competence Centres network 
Recherche Data Gouv leads the first French national Competence Centre within the Skills4EOSC project:

  • Train the trainers and gain expertise
  • Benefit from a large panel of services, trainings and training material
  • Harmonise our practices and build something together
  • Share best practices and organisation
  • Work on shared issues to identify common solutions
  • Be more efficient and gain time

 

The visibility of Recherche Data Gouv internationally is also reinforced via its inclusion in the EOSC roadmap, in order to show the added value of the ecosystem beyond French borders:

  • Improving research data management expertise through dedicated support, tailored training, and sharing best practices and technical contributions.
  • Contributing to a global economy of scale by sharing experiences, addressing common problems, and overcoming interoperability challenges.
  • Sharing ideas and lessons learned from providing support across a complex national landscape.

▶️Next Step

Join the EOSC nodes build-up phase and offer Recherche Data Gouv’s resources and services through a future EOSC Node of the EOSC Federation

 

⚠️ Points of attention 

Take into account the ecosystem's complexity

  • Each of Recherche Data Gouv's bricks has its own organisation and needs    
  • Many of its stakeholders have their own EOSC strategy

Communicate along the way

  • EOSC awareness is heterogeneous internally
  • Our EOSC strategy only makes sense if understood and endorsed by all

Synchronise with competent and legitimate stakeholders

  • We need to work together to ensure that the diversity of the French landscape doesn't lead to fragmentation
