From the OSCARS consortium we would expect about 3 representatives per beneficiary or affiliated entity. Depending on numbers we will invite add itional guests individually.\n\nBrowse the PROGRAMME of the event \nREGIST ER HERE before 13 February 2026\n\nCONCEPT\nThe meeting is planned as F2F only\, to enable as much direct contact between all participants as possib le. Presentations are kept to an absolute minimum and are meant to deliver mainly the background information to enable meaningful discussions in the interactive Speed dating/poster and World Café sessions. \nDay 1 is int ended as a consortium only day\, giving the WPs some space for internal wo rk but also cross-WP sessions and group work in general (World Café sessi on in the afternoon). We will start with the OSCARS WPs giving a short ove rview of activities in the first two years\, next steps planned and the in put needed from the consortium and the funded projects. This will be follo wed by internal WP meetings and a first World Café session in the afterno on.\nFor day 2 and 3 we will be joined by one representative per funded pr oject. \nThe second day will be used to get all participants up to speed on the new set of funded projects and the first outcomes of the 58 project s of the 1st round. All projects will be asked to prepare a poster in addi tion to the presentation.\nPresentations will have the same format as last year - 3 slides in 3 minutes. In between the 5 sessions\, we will have ex tended coffee breaks that will be used for “speed dating @ posters”. T he day will close with a first World Café session identifying 3 common ch allenges followed by a quick reporting back round.\nProjects from the 1st round will be assigned to one session based on the main challenge they are addressing\, not the cluster they are related to\, the same as last year. \nThe third and final day will be all around working together on the commo n challenges identified the day before\, across consortium/WPs and funded projects from both rounds. The outcome should be a clear understanding of what those challenges are\, who is addressing them in which project and wh at next steps could be undertaken to tackle them. This should make sure th at  future work in the projects and the consortium/WPs addresses actual c ommunity needs\, but also hopefully lead to an enhanced cooperation across all participants\, and the development of first plans that secure the ava ilability of project results beyond the projects’ lifetime.\n\nOBJECTIVE S\n\n\nStrengthening the community through F2F interaction\n\n\nBring new funded projects into the community\n\n\nInitiate closer cooperation betwee n the funded projects\n\n\nFurther develop cooperation between OSCARS WPs and funded projects\n\n\n\n\nIdentifying gaps/needs and activities for the 2nd half of the project\n\n\nTraining/support/mentoring\n\n\nPrioritise a ctivities for the next year\n\n\n\n\n\nWHY ATTEND? \n\n\nTo get an overvi ew of the activities carried out in the first two years of OSCARS implemen tation\;\n\n\nTo outline next steps and collect the input needed from cons ortium and funded projects to keep up with OSCARS implementation\;\n\nTo get an overview of the challenges tackled and activities planned in the OS CARS funded projects\;\nTo network and enhance collaboration between OSCAR S members and funded projects.\n\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND?\n\n\nOSCARS members \n\nRepresentatives of the OSCARS funded projects\n\n\nCONTACT\nFor any fu rther question about the programme\, or any other organisational aspect\, please contact communication@oscars-project.eu\n\nOSCARS is a four-year EU -funded project that strives to foster the uptake of Open Science in Europ e by consolidating the achievements of world-class European research infra structures in the ESFRI roadmap and beyond into lasting interdisciplinary FAIR data services and working practices.
