The VRE4IC project is organising a workshop entitled “Virtual Research Environments: Obtaining new insights by sharing Open Data for interdisciplinary Research Purposes”. The workshop will be held as in conjuction with CeDEM16, the international Conference for e-Democracy and Open Government, that will take place in May 2016 at the Danube University Krems, Austria.
In the workshop “From Cloud to Road” on 11 April 2016 at the University of Stuttgart, leading managers from automotive OEM, Independent Software Vendors and Cloud Service Platform Providers will present future challenges, and the PaaSage platform will be demonstrated.
The consortium of the VRE4EIC project intends to change the life of 70.000 European researchers, by providing them supporting tools for collaborative, multi-disciplinary data-driven science, as needed to tackle critical societal challenges such as climate change and energy sustainability. One aspect of educating and training these researchers concerns the organization of online courses.

The ERCIM Expert Group "Boost Open-access Mastering" (BOM@ERCIM) has just published a report entitled "BOM@ERCIM — Towards an open access policy for ERCIM". This document provides a basis for a policy for a better communication between research performing organisations about dissemination of research results and Open Access. At the ERCIM level, the report gives a strong set of recommendations that could be implemented step by step by all ERCIM members.
