NEANIAS actively participated at EOSC Projects EXPO - Realising the European Open Science Cloud Conference. Organized as part of the Realising the European Open Science Cloud joint event by the EOSC-hub, FREYA and SSHOC projects, the EOSC Projects EXPO was the first virtual exhibition showcasing initiatives and projects of the European Open Science Cloud.

The exhibition, as a complement to the Realising the EOSC conference programme, was a platform that gathered all the EOSC players together for four days of knowledge exchange, the creation of potential synergies, and networking.

The event was addressed to:

  • Research & Academic institution representatives.
  • Libraries and other research support staff.
  • Researchers and research associations.
  • Industry & private sector.
  • EOSC-related projects.
  • Research and eInfrastructures.
  • Policy makers.
  • Funding agencies.
  • High performance computing centres.
  • Standards bodies.
  • Civil society and citizen scientists.
  • Data service providers.

The Realising the EOSC Conference aimed to be one of the most interactive and engaging events of the EOSC community, offering an exhibition of EOSC-related and relevant initiatives, a lounge where attendees can network and chat with each other and a virtual "swag bag" where the attendants could store all collected materials, among other features.

NEANIAS representatives attended the booth during the exhibition days, and we chatted with the more than 30 projects that participated with us, as well as with the visitors to the event. Some synergies with other projects have been identified and a productive collaboration may be realized in near future.

The event was very fruitful for NEANIAS. The exhibition provided us with many opportunities to present the challenges of NEANIAS and our services, both to the general and thematic public. We also had the opportunity to participate in the EOSC framework, to interact with the innovation ecosystem, make business contacts with potential stakeholders, stay updated through many interesting conferences and last, but not least, to promote open science initiatives and research infrastructures liaison with other projects.
