The DiSTeBA of University of Salento invites applications for a Research Fellow who will contribute to the development of a training framework for research software excellence in pursuit of building a European network of Research Software Quality.
The EVERSE (European Virtual Institute for Research Software Excellence) project aims to create a framework for research software and code excellence, collaboratively designed and championed by five interdisciplinary research communities (ENVRI Community, Life Science RI, ESCAPE, PaNOSC, SSHOC) and their emerging use cases in environmental sciences, life sciences, particle physics and astrophysics, photon and neutron science, and computational linguistics.
Call for applications (IT/EN): https://www.unisalento.it/bandi-concorsi/-/bandi/view/67507252
Deadline: 3 January 2025
My name is Omobola Eko, a PhD student from the University of Tuscia, Italy, working on the terrestrial biosphere environmental domain. I am conducting a survey that intends to capture the perceptions of the users of environmental network data, with the goal of identifying the barriers that could limit the accessibility to environmental RI data and enabling factors that could promote data integration.
Your feedback will be invaluable in helping me understand how data are used and how we can improve its accessibility and usability.
This online survey includes 11 sections and should take about 20 minutes to be completed:

Your feedback is invaluable to advancing this research, and I sincerely appreciate your time and input.
The BioDT School and Hackathon, to take place from March 3-7, 2025 in Lecce, Italy, is a unique event designed for students, early-career researchers, and professionals interested in unlocking skills in digital modelling, and interested in latest innovation practices in biodiversity. It is the perfect opportunity to engage with leading experts and learn how digital twins are developed.

The “Regional Lighthouse Access Call”, first of two, will open from the 11th of November, 2024 to the 20th of January, 2025. The ambition is to foster large-scale, multidisciplinary projects that support research and innovation activities that address scientific challenges in the EU Mission Lighthouse Regions and related river basins. The AQUARIUS team have analysed priority knowledge and data gaps in these regions to inform the scope of the first call.
The thematic and geographic scope of the transnational access calls are related to the concept of the EU Mission Ocean and Waters area-based “Lighthouses” in major sea/river basins: Atlantic-Arctic, Mediterranean Sea, Baltic-North Sea, and Danube-Black Sea, each prioritising one of the three Mission objectives:
- The Atlantic-Arctic and the Danube & Black Sea regions focus on protecting and restoring aquatic ecosystems
- The Baltic & North Sea is focused on making the blue economy carbon neutral and circular
- The Mediterranean Sea targets preventing and eliminating marine pollution.
For more details on these Funding Calls, visit this page: https://aquarius-ri.eu/access/
The open call will be launched on 15 January 2025, open to researchers from all scientific disciplines, data scientists and members of research infrastructures.
This is the last of the two calls (total worth ~16 million EUR) foreseen in the frame of the OSCARS project to support research communities from any scientific domain to take up open science and foster the involvement of scientists in EOSC. Researchers from all scientific disciplines are welcome to apply with proposals for the development of Open Science projects or services, that together will drive the uptake of FAIR-data-intensive research throughout the European Research Area (ERA). Projects are funded with a lump sum between 100,000 EUR and 250,000 EUR, and can be proposed in the fields of any of the Science Clusters and beyond, by any researcher or group of researchers.
The 1st OSCARS Open Call concluded in July resulting in a total of 58 projects being selected for funding. Some of them will be presented during the event.
The deadline to apply is March 16th, 2025. Follow the updates on OSCARS for the upcoming application details (https://oscars-project.eu/).
FAIR-IMPACT has launched its third Open Call for financial support, providing four different support actions to help researchers create EOSC compliant interoperability policies, improve and test the FAIRness of their research data, and implement a shared API for semantic catalogues.
This support is ideal for those already well-versed in FAIR-enabling practices and ready to test specific tools and approaches. Successful applicants will receive financial support to participate in virtual workshops and carry out independent work to implement different tools, methods, or approaches. Additionally, they will receive expert guidance and advice from FAIR-IMPACT mentors.
