    Fotis Psomopoulos

    This episode of Inside EOSC features Fotis Psomopoulos, Coordinator of the EVERSE project and Senior Researcher at the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH). The discussion traces Fotis’s journey from electrical engineering into the life sciences, and his evolving understanding of research infrastructures, from an early focus on physical hardware to a realisation that infrastructures are fundamentally about communities and standardised services. We explore the often-overlooked role of software in the research ecosystem. Fotis explains why software has historically been treated as a 'second-class citizen' compared to data, and outlines EVERSE’s mission to elevate it through defined indicators of excellence and quality toolkits. He unpacks the distinction between Open Source and FAIR principles, and details the 'three-tier' hierarchy of research software, ranging from personal analysis scripts to critical community infrastructure. The conversation touches on the impact of AI on coding practices, where Fotis characterises AI as a collaborative partner rather than a replacement for human expertise. He also reflects on the importance of global collaboration, citing examples from African research contexts that offer valuable lessons for Europe regarding efficiency and software maintenance. The episode concludes with a look at the cultural shifts required to recognise software as a primary research output, and the inherent interdisciplinarity of 'writing with code'. Hosted on Acast.

    Klaus Tochtermann

    This episode of Inside EOSC features Klaus Tochtermann, president of the EOSC Association and director of ZBW. The discussion traces Klaus’s early work in hypermedia in the mid-1990s, his move into digital libraries, and his long involvement in shaping what would become the European Open Science Cloud. He reflects on the shift from traditional library practice to large-scale digital infrastructures, and how this has altered both research behaviour and expectations. We explore how open science has changed over three decades, touching on social media’s early promise for scholarly communication, the relationship between FAIR data principles and broader questions of openness, and the challenge of maintaining trust in a climate shaped by geopolitical tensions around data. Klaus explains why data sovereignty has become central to Europe’s approach, and why sustainable funding and meaningful involvement of researchers are essential for EOSC’s future. He also outlines how EOSC might act as a model beyond Europe, and the difficult negotiations ahead as the next Framework Programme takes shape. He describes the need for deeper interaction between scientific infrastructures and industry, noting both mutual interests and the barriers that remain. The episode offers a reflective look at Klaus’s career of building new institutions and his thoughts on where science, technology and policy may be heading next, all framed by his commitment to openness, interdisciplinarity and practical support for researchers across Europe.

    Sy Holsinger

    In this episode, Andrew Dubber speaks with Sy Holsinger, Chief Technology Officer of OPERAS and Project Coordinator of GRAPHIA, about the evolving landscape of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). They discuss the origins of EOSC in distributed computing at CERN, the development of European research infrastructures, and the unique role OPERAS plays in open scholarly communication for the social sciences and humanities. Holsinger reflects on how OPERAS integrates with projects such as LUMEN and GRAPHIA, exploring knowledge graphs, research assessment, and the ethical implications of artificial intelligence in SSH research. The conversation touches on sustainability, collaboration, and the distinctively European approach to building federated research infrastructures. Hosted on Acast.

    Suzanne Dumouchel - Building Connections Across Domains: EOSC & LUMEN

    In the first episode of Inside EOSC, Andrew Dubber speaks with Suzanne Dumouchel, Director of the EOSC Association, Head of International Cooperation at CNRS, and coordinator of the Horizon Europe project LUMEN. Suzanne reflects on her journey from researching eighteenth-century literary newspapers to leading a European initiative that shapes the future of scientific collaboration. She explains the purpose of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) as a federation of tools, services, and infrastructures designed to make research more open, interoperable, and impactful across domains. The conversation explores the principles of FAIR data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), the challenges of sustainability and governance in large scientific infrastructures, and the importance of both technical and human interoperability. Suzanne also introduces the LUMEN project, which builds interoperable discovery platforms for four distinct research domains – Social Sciences and Humanities, Mathematics, Earth Science, and Molecular Dynamics – while providing a white-label framework adaptable to other fields. Looking ahead, Suzanne emphasises the importance of maintaining open science support at the policy level and cautions against the risks of reverting to closed systems. Inside EOSC is produced within the LUMEN project, which receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 101187940 Hosted on Acast.
