Open Science is a new research paradigm facing many challenges, mainly the ingrained research habits accompanied by non-incentive institutional and funder reward systems, the lack of embedded tools and services, the connection to non-academic communities.

OSFair2019 is organized as an emblematic initiative of OpenAIRE, co-organized by 3 other EU projects in the area of Open Science: FIT4RRI, EOSC Secretariat and FAIRsFAIR. It is locally curated by the University of Minho.

A three day event completely dedicated to research and innovation will take place in Brussels on 24-26 September 2019. The event contains a Policy Conference, an Innovation Europe Hub and the exhibition "Science is wonderful".

The 3rd Wild Plant Pathosystems Conference will take place on 16 September 2019 close to Frankfurt, Germany, and will offer a great forum to exchange ideas on all aspects of wild plant pathosystems.

Covered disciplines include

• Ecological and evolutionary genetics and genomics

• Evolution of agricultural pathosystems 

• Molecular plant-pathogen interactions 

• Ecology of antagonistic symbioses 

• Invasion biology 

• Population biology, phylogenetics and speciation

Research Infrastructures (such as ESFRI’s) are characterized by the very significant data volumes they generate and handle but the research data landscape is still fragmented.

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) wants to address the current situation including the support of thematic clusters of Pan-European research infrastructures dedicated to the EOSC. 

The ENVRI Dissemination event aims to promote the ENVRIplus results, the benefits of cluster collaboration and community building, and address how Research Infrastructures contribute to societal challenges. 

The Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History in collaboration with iDigBio of the Florida Museum of Natural History, the Natural Science Collections Alliance, and Ecological Society of America is pleased to announce the third annual Digital Data in Biodiversity Research conference, to be held 10-12 June 2019 at Yale University, New Haven, CT.
