OSSR updates:
(To copy in the relevant section)
- S3-School held at LAPP in January - https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/36319/
-
- good coding practices for research software
- co-organised by OSCARS and EVERSE
- very good feedback from the participants, with > 90% overall satisfaction
- summary slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1fjhfh9tlB3eKAK4C8D8XWdxOZhHtggqMiTsT0voF6jE
- testing metadata quality in the OSSR thanks to EVERSE and CodeMetaSoft project (OSCARS funded project)
- one publication in 2025 from our collaborators, A. E. Hounsri and D. Garijo, "Good practice versus reality: A landscape analysis of Research Software metadata adoption in European Open Science Clusters,", doi: 10.1109/MSR66628.2025.00028. - https://dgarijo.com/papers/El_Hounsri_MSR_2025_landscape_analysis_CR.pdf,
- one joint publication in prep.
- showing the impact of the OSSR work to improve software metadata quality
- in EVERSE, development of a framework to measure software and metadata quality following a set of indicators
Present and future priorities for ESCAPE OSSR:
- Establish what are the relevant indicators of software quality for ESCAPE (this will have important repercussions on how software is developed, how we promote it and potentially how it’s getting funded)
- Onboard the OSSR in the EVERSE framework to automatise software quality evaluation
- Establish connections with the HSF which is running an Affiliated Program very similar to the OSSR - we should join forces
- Incentivise the uptake of the OSSR by researchers and developers from ESCAPE and its partners

- OSCARS Cascading Grant: Astronomy Dark Matter Test Science Project
- Contains a small citizen science component but no CS activity until nearing the end of the project
- Astronomers' review of the ESCAPE Dark Matter Test Science Project accepted by Open Research Europe, available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.22609
- Machine learning super-resolution tool for Rubin to achieve Euclid space telscope quality (eg in dark-matter-dominated strong gravitational lenses) working well - see below
- ACME Horizon-funded multi-messenger astronomy project:
- CS deliverables due near end of project
- Discussions underway on how the ACME community, and more broadly the multi-messenger community in general, should respond to one of the INFRA-2026-DEV calls (eg INFRADEV-2026-01-02), which appear to be much better suited to the science-driven needs of the multimessenger community than the INFRA-2027-SERV calls, in order to cover e.g. staffing support for digging into lower significance multi-messenger alerts, coordinating science cases for follow-ups, creating or adopting a science analysis platform for doing this work, having a policy forum for cases where there is community resistance to open data practices, creating sustainable solution for storage of multimessenger alerts, crowdsourcing multimessenger classifications and small telescope followups, and so on. The precursor project ASTERICS was an INFRADEV project.
- ESA Euclid Horizon-funded ELSA project underway - co-funded launch of new CS project, Galaxy Zoo Clump Scout 2, building on ESCAPE heritage https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/hughdickinson/galaxy-zoo-clump-scout-ii
- HORIZON-INFRA-2026-01-EOSC-01:
- Aspirations for a citizen science competency centre:
- support scientist for helping people create and run CS projects, including incorporating machine learning with KaDEand BaJoR, visualisingoutputs, and ingesting into EOSC (see also minutes of ESCAPE EB #28, #29, #30, #31)
- creating permanent training resources
- Very good match to the call topic:
- "Coordinating, aligning and networking existing community-based competence centreson FAIR and open science practices developed within the EOSC ecosystem."
- "Developing training programmes, modules and material on FAIR and open science practices tailored to the specific needs of different thematic research communities. This activity should include feedback mechanisms to ensure that the training services are responsive to the evolving needs of EOSC user communities."
- "fostering interoperability and integration of data and resources from diverse scientific domains"
