The Skills4EOSC project has organised a collaborative workshop bringing together Competence Centres from our European network, project partners, and guests from other related projects, all focused on Open Science competence development.

This interactive session will focus on three key areas:

  1. Ensuring the sustainability of our Competence Centre network
  2. Exploring how the network can better support individual Competence Centres
  3. Enhancing the overall experience and effectiveness of our collaboration

Participants can share insights, challenges, and innovative ideas through facilitated discussions and breakout groups. We aim to generate concrete proposals that will shape the future of Open Science training and support across Europe.
