13:15-15:00 The European Open Science Cloud: Vision for the Future and Core Challenge

We explore the evolving strategic directions of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), with particular emphasis on the key dimensions of interoperability—semantic, technical, and legal. Furthermore, we examine the specific case of the CLARIN-LT repository, highlighting the mechanisms through which it supports linguistic resource sharing and compliance with open science principles. Finally, we present national practices and policy initiatives in Portugal and Slovenia that align with EOSC objectives, illustrating how local infrastructures and governance models are adapting to broader European standards and ambitions.
