Definition and Objectives

The Spanish Thematic Network in the field of Open e-Science (REEC) is an inclusive initiative that combines efforts, shares information and aims to strengthen the position of Spanish institutions within the framework of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

The Network is an instrument funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation in the 2018 call for Dynamization Actions – Research Networks with code RED2018-102377-T, composed by relevant actors in the areas of technological knowledge, research infrastructure providers, scientific communities, as well as those responsible for defining and implementing national policies that encourage the adoption of the EOSC by the Spanish scientific community following the Roadmap agreed by the European Commission (goo.gl/DRJHUP).

This network is built on top of the results of a set of national and European projects in the field of open e-Science and seeks to coordinate, share and reinforce these results in an international context.

The general objectives of the network are:

• To promote communication between network groups and related external actors, sharing the experience and activities they are developing within the framework of the EOSC.
• To promote Research&Development and Innovation activities and contribute to the advancement of knowledge, spreading the concept of EOSC and promoting the involvement of Spanish actors in open science activities both nationally and internationally, as well as promoting user access (researchers) Spanish to EOSC and international researchers to Spanish EOSC services.
• To face the challenges of Spanish research at the international and national level, strengthening Spanish participation in the EOSC by increasing its presence in forums, resources and catalogs of services and promoting that national and regional funding agencies facilitate researchers’ access to services EOSC.
• To generate a sustainability plan and business opportunities.
