Position of the EU EYE on EOSCThe EU EYE applauds the move towards Open Science and the implementation of European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and anticipates huge implications for medical research. We pledge to assist the EOSC efforts by initiating work in data sharing among the ophthalmology community as complementary to its ongoing work as a partner of the European Innovation Partnership on Active Healthy Ageing. We raise however our concerns regarding the management of health data in a cloud environment calling for recognition of the contribution of existing localised efforts to the progress of the EOSC project and the strengthening of the representation of the medical community within the Open Science Policy Platform to address in a systemic manner the diversity in open data needs in medicine. |
