      • Activity 2. Reflection Page


        Watch the video “European Open Science Cloud - The New Frontier of Data-Driven Science” (6 min). Reflect on the following questions:

        • What is the role of the EOSC in tackling global issues? What relevant examples are used to illustrate this?
        • Making data open poses a number of challenges to researchers as well as other stakeholders. What are some of these challenges? What could be the ways to address them?
        • "The more people use the same dataset, the more valuable it becomes." What does this statement mean? Do you agree/disagree?
