Just to have an idea how public digital services in science work. There is a lot of manipulation that without tech corporations nothing is possible, the public or independent services cannot be built, open source is not usable etc. So to have a glimpse of reality - European Open Science Cloud has first node available to researchers. Except involved research organizations, anybody can login with EU login (but gets no credits, can ask for them if needed for citizen science for example). You get into web dashboard with integrated stack of services, where you can click for storage (OwnCloud interface), computing servers - VMs or Jupyter Notebooks (kind of virtualized computing stack in your browser for researchers, data journalists etc.). I've run my VM accessible on public IP in few clicks.

In upcoming years, around 80-100 national and special purpose EU nodes like this should be in operation, with hundreds of dataset repositories etc. All on Open Access and F.A.I.R principles. With good project, you can even compute on supercomputers or quantum computers.

Grateful for the recent commendation from the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science @improvingpsych for two projects close to my heart:

- ABRIR abrirpsy.org/

- Open Science in Developing Countries: A Collection of Practical Guides opensci-cn.github.io/OS-develo

both working to make open and collaborative science more accessible worldwide.

On Monday July 21st, the OSC held its Annual Members’ Meeting 🤝 We reflected, connected, and planned ahead with our incredible community.

📢 One of the highlights was welcoming the Head of Helmholtz Open Science Office: Dr. Mathijs Vleugel
(@HelmholtzOpenScienceOffice)
It was inspiring to exchange ideas and explore the shared challenges and opportunities we face in advancing open science 🌐

We ended the meeting by electing our new Scientific Board: 👏
- Prof. Dr. Anna Kümpel (Communication)
- Dr. Sabine Hoffmann (Head of Statistical Consulting Laboratory StaBLab)
- Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Plesnila (Neuroscience)
- Dr. Tobias Straub (Head of the Core Facility Bioinformatics)
- Prof. Dr. Alexander Wuttke (Politics)

✨ We are proud to have a team of passionate individuals committed to driving our vision forward. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has volunteered their time and energy to support our work until now and into the future!

🚀 Looking ahead, we are excited to announce that new projects are on the horizon, and we can’t wait to share them with the broader community.

🎉Here’s to a more open, collaborative, and inclusive future for science!
