*About the Global Open Science Cloud  (GOSC) Initiative *
Open Science is the mode of conducting robust, transparent and
technologically-supported research in the 21st century. Around the world we
see the emergence of various infrastructures to support and facilitate Open
Science. The *UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science*
<https://en.unesco.org/science-sustainable-future/open-science/recommendation>
affirms
the importance of Open Infrastructure as one of the key pillars of Open
Science. Along with the ISC Action Plan
<https://council.science/actionplan/>, the *Recommendation* calls for the
development of multinational, regional and national Open Science platforms,
as integrated and federated e-infrastructures, and urges stakeholders to
ensure both that these initiatives interoperate and that no one is left
behind. Similarly, an idea to co-design and co-build the Global Open
Science Cloud (GOSC) was discussed during the CODATA 2019 Beijing
conference, and has now developed into a worldwide initiative to encourage
cooperation, alignment, and interoperability among Open Science
e-infrastructures. Partners convened by CODATA have collaborated on the GOSC
Initiative
<https://codata.org/initiatives/decadal-programme2/global-open-science-cloud/>
since
early 2021. The mission of GOSC is to interconnect different institutional,
national, and regional Open Science clouds and platforms to create a global
virtual environment for globalized research and innovation. So far, four
thematic Working Groups
<https://codata.org/initiatives/decadal-programme2/global-open-science-cloud/working-groups/>
and
five exemplar scientific Case Studies
<https://codata.org/initiatives/decadal-programme2/global-open-science-cloud/case-studies/>
have
been selected to help implement the GOSC Initiative under the general
guidance of the GOSC Steering Group. Colleagues interested to join the
initiative can do so by signing-up

.

*The GOSC IPO*
To better facilitate and coordinate the development of this GOSC
Initiative, CODATA, and CNIC, CAS <http://english.cnic.cas.cn/> have
jointly established the GOSC International Programme Office. As part of our
efforts to enhance the visibility of the Initiative and connect the GOSC
IPO with a broader community, we will host a GOSC IPO launch event on
October 12, 2022, 12:00-13:30 UTC.
