The 1st OSCARS Annual General Meeting (AGM), will take place face-to-face in Rome (NH Collection Roma Centro, Via dei Gracchi, 324), on 3–4 March, 2025.
OSCARS consortium members and funded projects are invited to join us to reflect on the achievements from the first year of OSCARS and outline the roadmap for the next year.
Have a closer look at the successful projects of the 1st OSCARS Open Call for Open Science projects and services and use the opportunity to discuss common challenges with the OSCARS consortium members and representatives of the funded projects.
The venue will accommodate up to 120 attendees, specifically OSCARS members, and representatives of the funded projects from the Open Call.
Up to one representative per project will have the opportunity to attend and present the challenges, solutions, and the potential scientific impact of their initiatives and work with the wider community.
From the OSCARS consortium we would expect about 3 representatives per beneficiary or affiliated entity. Depending on numbers we will invite additional guests individually.

CONCEPT
The meeting is planned as F2F only to enable as much direct contact between all participants as possible. Presentations are kept to an absolute minimum and are meant to deliver mainly the background information to enable meaningful discussions in the interactive World Café sessions.
We will start with the OSCARS WPs giving a short overview of activities in the first year, next steps planned and the input needed from the consortium and the funded projects.
This will be followed by the presentations of the funded projects (4 sessions) and 3 World Café and their reporting back sessions.
Projects will be assigned to one session based on the main challenge they are addressing, not the cluster they are related to. World Café sessions will allow all participants to work together on addressing common challenges that will help to shape future activities in the WPs and the clusters. It will also help to align and support the work in the funded projects, enhancing the chances for the sustainability of the results after funding ends.
