[cdif-community] Launch of CDIF4EOSC and CDIF v.1.1: an open, public webinar, Thursday 2 July, 15:00-17:00 CEST

[Asha CODATA]

The CDIF4EOSC project <https://www.cdif4eosc.eu/>, coordinated by CODATA
<https://codata.org> and involving 21 partners <https://cdif4eosc.eu>, was
launched on 1 June 2026! Shortly after we released version 1.1 of the
Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework (CDIF)
<https://codata.org/release-of-the-cross-domain-interoperability-framework-cdif-version-1-1/>,
which will provide a baseline for the project work.


The distinct approach of the CDIF4EOSC project (CDIF4EOSC: Developing and
implementing the Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework for EOSC
<https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101292473/en>) is to build on the
Cross-Domain
Interoperability Framework (CDIF) <https://cdif.codata.org>. The project
will extend the CDIF recommendations, adding profiles and guidelines, and
use case based examples, to form a comprehensive and actionable playbook
for FAIR Integration in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and beyond.

What is CDIF? What does it seek to do? What does it recommend and why is it
useful to EOSC and other Research Infrastructure initiatives? How will the
CDIF4EOSC project develop it further and how can you get involved?

This event is public and open to any interested colleagues! This is
conceived as the first in a series of webinars, tutorials and other events
to familiarise the broad research data stewardship community in EOSC and
beyond with the vision of CDIF and the mission and objectives of the
CDIF4EOSC project.  The event will introduce the CDIF4EOSC project and will
cover CDIF v.1.1 at a conceptual level, suitable for policy experts, data
stewards and managers of research infrastructures.  Some of the more
technical aspects of the CDIF profiles and recommendations will be covered:
although we will happily field questions from technical experts, more
detailed events for a technical audience will be organised in due course.

The webinar will cover at least the following topics:
