The Three Pillars of SENPro
Pillar 1: Community & Needs Assessment
- Mapping existing infrastructures andservices
- Identifying data types, formats, and training needs
- Engaging researchers across disciplines, including the “long tail” of research
Output: A comprehensive requirements document to guide the prototype development.
Pillar 2: Technical Development
- Reviewing and adapting existing Swiss and European solutions
- Designing a secure, EOSC-aligned system architecture
- Prototyping a Resource Platform and Registry Service
- Ensuring interoperability and compliance with EOSC standards
Output: First version of an EOSC Node Prototype for testing.
Pillar 3: Testing, Validation & Governance
- Community-driven testing and feedback loops
- Developing onboarding models and sustainability strategies
- Establishing governance and legal frameworks aligned with Swiss and EU regulations (e.g., GDPR, nFADP)
Output: A White Paper and roadmap for a sustainable national EOSC Node.
