During the last two weeks of January 2021, LIBER, the Association of European Research Libraries, and Scientific Knowledge Services organised a series of five workshops on the interaction between research libraries, researchers, and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). These workshops were aimed at discussing the role of the libraries in connecting researchers to Open Science and the EOSC, and at analysing how their services developed to support researchers can be integrated into the EOSC. Thisworkshop was held on 20 January 2021, between 14:30 - 16:15 CET on Zoom. The event was the second in a series of five workshopswith the aim of answering the following questions: 1. What is the value of EOSC for researchers and research libraries, based on the goals/work of the EOSC? 2. What is the input needed from these stakeholders towards the EOSC? 3. How can these stakeholder groups be actively involved in EOSC activities and what do they need to get involved? 4. What feedback mechanism could be built to continuously inform EOSC, in its quest to remain an agile infrastructure? This 2nd workshop focused on the Eastern European landscape. The target audience were researchers and research library staff.The participation was 34 people from 31 institutes from 12 countrieswith the following distribution: Austria (1), Croatia (2), Czech Republic (2), Hungary (1), Italy (1), Lithuania (2), Netherlands (3), Poland (7), Republic of Moldova (1), Romania (8), Slovenia (4), UK (2). The gender distributionof the 34 attendees was: 22 female (65%) and 12 male (35%).

On the 25th of January the fourth workshop of the series was held virtually. This fourth workshop was dedicated to multidisciplinary universities. Beside presenters, moderator and organisers there were around 30 participants from a dozen of European countries, mainly north western. The workshop began with an introductory presentation from the moderator, Bertil Dorch, Library Director at the University Library of Southern Denmark, who set up the main goal of the workshop: to discuss on the Interaction Between Research Libraries, Researchers, and the EOSC. The event was organised in three parts: - The first one dedicated to listening to three panelists that presented different experiences. - The second one focused on the actual discussion in three different virtual rooms. - The third one aimed at exchanging the results of the separate discussions in a plenary room.

These workshops were aimed at discussing the role of the libraries in connecting researchers to Open Science and the EOSC, and at analysing how their services developed to support researchers can be integrated into the EOSC. This 3rd workshop focused on universities and research organisations from Northern Europe. The target audience was research libraries and researchers. The following questions were addressed: 1) What is the value of the EOSC for researchers and research libraries, based on the goals/work of the EOSC? 2) What is the input needed from these stakeholders toward the EOSC? 3) How can these stakeholder groups become actively involved in EOSC activities and what do they need to get involved? 4) What feedback mechanism could be built to continuously inform the EOSC, in its quest to remain an agile infrastructure? Excluding the speakers and organiser staff 34 people registered to the event from 34 institutes from 16 countries with the following distribution: Sweden (9), Bulgaria (1), Germany (2), Netherlands (3), UK (3), Chile (1), Romania (5), Norway (1), France (2), Denmark (2), Ireland (1), Scotland (1), Croatia (1), Finland (1), Italy (1), Moldova (1). The gender distribution of the 34 attendees was: 12 female (63%), 6 male (32%) and 1 unknown (5% - did not provide a real person name on Zoom)., For more details, please read also: - RESEARCH LIBRARIES, RESEARCHERS & THE EOSC - Final Report - Research Libraries, Researchers & the EOSC: Central-Eastern European Landscape - Research Libraries, Researchers & the EOSC: Multidisciplinary Universities - RESEARCH LIBRARIES, RESEARCHERS & THE EOSC: HOW DO THEY INTERACT?

This first workshop focused on the Southern European landscape. The target audience were researchers and research library staff, and the number of participants (excluding organisers, presenters, the moderator and the rapporteur) was 33 (22 female participants, 10 male participants and one participant that registered under his/her institution’s name). The participants were from 13 countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Moldova, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain and Turkey., For more details, please read also: - RESEARCH LIBRARIES, RESEARCHERS & THE EOSC - Final Report - Research Libraries, Researchers & the EOSC: Central-Eastern European Landscape - Research Libraries, Researchers & the EOSC: Multidisciplinary Universities - Research Libraries, Researchers & the EOSC: Northern European Landscape - Research Libraries, Researchers & the EOSC: Technical Universities
