The Project<\/span><\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

FOSSR aims to maintain and strengthen the Italian nodes of three research infrastructures relevant to the social sciences, namely CESSDA-ERIC (Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives), SHARE-ERIC (Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe) and RISIS (Research Infrastructure for Research and Innovation Policy Studies), with the goal of establishing an Italian Open Science Cloud inspired by the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The goal of FOSSR is to provide resources for social science research aimed at the study of economic and social change.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

The goals<\/span><\/span><\/h3>

The FOSSR project aims to promote the principles of open science in social science research in Italy by simplifying access to data through the creation of an online platform, the Italian Open Science Cloud.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Data access<\/span><\/span><\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Its main goal is to make access to social science data simpler, more transparent and streamlined by maintaining and strengthening the Italian nodes of a network of European-level research infrastructures (CESSDA-ERIC, SHARE-ERIC and RISIS). FOSSR will create an IT infrastructure consisting of a network of data centers in Italy, with an innovative virtual platform aimed not only at the scientific community, but also at students, civil society organizations and ordinary citizens.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Open Science Cloud<\/span><\/span><\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The project involves the creation of Open Science Cloud that will serve as an access and intermediary point between data producers and users. This Cloud will also provide access to data and various methodological content for data collection and analysis, aimed at the scientific community and interested stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Through activities in the project, resources will be provided to support methodological advancement in data collection and analysis, address new research questions and improve the robustness of results. Tools and services for creating probability panels for longitudinal surveys will also be provided, and an online laboratory network will be established.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Training<\/span><\/span><\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The project also includes training initiatives to develop the skills of researchers and foster interactions between knowledge producers and stakeholders through higher education courses, with a focus on empowering young researchers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
