Nearly 120 IT professionals, scientists and managers from the Photon and Neutron (PaN) community attended the 2nd European PaN EOSC Symposium organised jointly by PaNOSC and ExPaNDS on 26th October 2021.

The first session focused on the grants’ main goals, challenges and achievements, with a joint presentation by projects’ coordinators Patrick Fuhrmann and Andy Götz. A showcase of a selection of use cases followed, relating to some of the tools and services developed in the EOSC projects, for FAIR data catalogues, data analysis and simulation.

In the second session, PaN EOSC sustainability models were discussed, with contributions from the Chairs of the LEAPS and LENS initiatives, Caterina Biscari and Robert McGreevy, who shared their views on the outcomes and future of the two EOSC projects and their proposed future data strategy.
