Description
European science is moving quickly towards Open Science, accelerating the share of scientific knowledge with society. With the rise of the European Open Science Cloud framework federating many scientific communities, it is clear that any initiative in Open Science should be grounded on the aim to fully operate within the EOSC framework.
Open Science represents an opportunity for the nuclear physics community to improve the management and use of the large data sets produced in nuclear physics facilities around Europe and foster new collaborations. As a goal towards an Open Science nuclear physics, the development of suited data workflow that could be shared among the nuclear physics European facilities would represent a major step forward. The data produced in these facilities should follow the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) to ensure long term storage and possible future use by, and outside, the community.
Adoption of this new way of conducting research will require a clear and widely adopted road map. Such an endeavour will require work within the community and with the relevant authorities to shape a common, widely adopted, framework.
