EOSC-hub Briefing Paper: Provision of Cross-Border Services • Examines challenges in part of the research value-chain: provision of publicly funded rivalrous resources across borders - focus on demanding use cases - procurement considerations for public organisations - • Insights: opportunities for the EOSC • Recommendations: what should be done • Feedback: public consultation until 9 October https://www.eosc-hub.eu/news/provide-feedback-now-eosc-hub- briefing-paper-cross-border-services 15/09/2020 3

Background - EOSC-hub Federating Core Proposals • Shared Resources: Resources including scientific outputs (local copies of data; applications, software, pipelines etc) and the storage and compute hosting platforms needed to deposit, share and process them • Includes rivalrous resources which are often provided in the research environment by national publicly funded e-Infrastructures 15/09/2020 6
Federating Core and Sustainability: EOSC-hub View • EOSC-hub Federating Core Proposal The unique value-add of the EOSC is its ability to provide quality assessment, combined with the ability for researchers to access and reuse data alongside Shared Resources through the same portal • Working Draft Community Position Paper on EOSC EOSC needs to … create the financial vehicle to cover the costs of … provision and consumption of the Shared Resources beyond their originating communities. Coordinated provisioning and funding of the Federating Core is expected to bring economies of scale by aligning investments from member states with the compensation of marginal costs associated with cross-border usage of depletable resources and services 15/09/2020 7

Use Cases - concerning provision and consumption of shared resources beyond their normal constituencies simulating negotiations for cross-border storage and compute services - - to explore the opportunities to reach an agreement on transnational provision of resources provided by publicly funded actors 15/09/2020 10
ELIXIR and ASTRON Workshops ● Outsourcing the ● Data processing service computing platform to the LOFAR required by research community to generate groups to analyse science-ready data public ELIXIR datasets products from data (Petabytes) and stored in the combine with private distributed datasets 'instrument' data ● Suppliers: CESNET, CSC, archive (over 50PB) ● Suppliers: CSC, INFN, INFN, SURF SURF 15/09/2020 11

Platform Approach ● Business modelling methodology for platform ecosystems ○ perceived value grows together with and thanks to the number of users that are using the platform. ● Modelled the use cases The Platform Design Toolkit approach ● Models entities which need to or want to interact ● Assists them by shaping a role for a platform to increase value exchange and derive new ways of working ● The platform provides the means for producers and consumers to connect ● Uber and Airbnb are examples Platform Design Toolkit is provided by Boundaryless s.r.l. platformdesigntoolkit.com 15/09/2020 13

• Context and Background • Use Cases • Platform Design • Findings • Insights and Recommendations • Concluding Remarks 15/09/2020 15
Findings ● Process of acquiring research services to meet demand is non-standard ○ Standardised service catalogue unlikely to be able to bring supply and demand together successfully ● Research organisations seek long term technical partnership who can be advice them on the best solutions/services available ● Research organisations with large datasets looking for facilitating exploitation of their asset across borders lack the computing/storage capabilities and capacity to support it 15/09/2020 16
Findings • Public organisations are subject to the EC Procurement Directive Public-to-public service provision usually rely on exemptions for which appropriate - structures are established at national level (e.g. in-house status) • Cost reimbursement across borders raise additional VAT and taxation implications Public funded institutions are more used to exchange money nationally (except for - research grants) • Different funding situations need to be considered E.g. ELIXIR had needs and budget; ASTRON had needs but not budget - 15/09/2020 17

Research Support Providers as Primary Users • Research Support Providers are, for example, support staff at Research Infrastructures, e-Infrastructures or universities (e.g. data stewards, computing engineers) 15/09/2020 21

Concluding Remarks EOSC has the opportunity to reduce barriers and enable frictionless, easy access to data and related services across geographic boundaries and disciplines so research communities can better connect with suppliers, users and funders We have adopted simulated negotiations and platform thinking as approaches to better explore how to better design the EOSC ecosystem and related platform We have identified 3 key recommendations ● Establish a rich matchmaking capability ● Recognise and support the crucial role of Research Support Providers ● Accepting the cost of sustaining shared resources Let us know your opinion on this https://www.eosc-hub.eu/news/new-briefing-paper-cross-border-services work, fill the survey by Oct 9th 26
