Liebe Kolleg*innen,

Call for Members – OPERAS Scientific Advisory Committee

 

OPERAS is a dynamic and community driven Research Infrastructure supporting open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities (SSH) in the European Research Area. Its mission is to coordinate and federate resources in Europe to efficiently address the scholarly communication needs of European researchers. OPERAS’ vision is to make Open Science a reality for research and to achieve a scholarly communication system where knowledge produced in the SSH benefits researchers, academics, and students fully and widely, and where it also benefits the whole society across Europe and worldwide, without barriers.

 

OPERAS is the leading European infrastructure for scholarly communication in SSH and brings together partners from various European countries to strengthen the infrastructure for open scholarly communication and to support research in the Humanities and Social Sciences. OPERAS aims to coordinate efforts, align services, promote standards, and develop new, shared services for researchers, libraries and open access publishers.

 

The OPERAS RI (AISBL) establishes a new governance system. It is driven by an Executive Assembly composed of 10 members and managed by a General Assembly. To support the Executive Assembly by taking decisions we are seeking for international experts to give advice on OPERAS scientific activities, priorities, and services.

 

The Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) will be an independent body, composed by 5 to 10 experts, providing advice and recommendations to the Executive Assembly on the ethical, scientific and technical current and future projects as well as OPERAS activities. For instance, OPERAS SAC will contribute in defining the scientific, technical, and ethical criteria for our discovery platform and is invited to give advice to specific issues related to resources harvesting and content providers and to shape the path of the infrastructures future.

 

Be part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary and international network shaping the research publication structure of tomorrow! Help us to learn more about the SSH researchers needs and aims and help us to open the doors for Open Science for SSH in Europe and worldwide.

 

For the Scientific Advisory Committee OPERAS searches for researchers, publishers, librarians, engineers that are experts in one or more of the following topics: Social Sciences and Humanities, Scholarly Communication, Open Science, Digital infrastructures. The experts will have an international or national reputation and therefore significant experience or interest in the domain covered by OPERAS AISBL.
