11. Sustainability • Not (just) aboutthe money: i.e. viability • Equibility • Trust • Commitment • Socialconstructs!

12. Business models?

14. Business model definitions • Description of the rationale of how an organisation creates, delivers and captures value • A business model is nothing else than a description • of the value a company offers • to one or several segments of customers and • the architecture of the firm and • its network of partners for creating, marketing and delivering this value and relationship capital, • in order to generate profitable and robust revenue streams. -Ostenwalder et al (2010/2002) • A blueprint for how a network of organisations co-operates in creating and capturing value from technological innovation. • A business model is a blueprint for • a service to be delivered, • describing the service definition and the intended value for the target group, • the sources of revenue and • providing an architecture for service delivery, • including a description of the resources required, and • the organisational and financial arrangements between the involved business actiors, including a description of their roles and • the division of costs and revenues over the business actors. -Bouwman et al (2008) The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

22. What is EOSC!? • A cloudinfrastructure • The distributionchannelfor European customer segments • Marketplace for service to support pan-European research • Market model forpubliclyfundedand market-driven access • Sustainablefundingmechanismforinternationalinfrastructures • Collaboration model • A (legal) organisationalentity • A data commons …

24. EOSC declaration • It's a proces, not a project (pg 1) • Must be underpinned by ... standards for research data, as well as ... services (e.g. to facilitate inter-disciplinarity and avoid fragmentation)(pg 2) • The FAIR data Action plan is an ... important instrument for embedding... will not necessarily suggest any specific technology, standard or implementation solution (pg 2)

31. Through the economical lens • Micro economic • Researchers, Research infrastructures, e-infrastructures • Supply and demand, value chain • Key challenge in EOSC: making fit purpose services available for researcher • Macro economics • Government, market • Welfare, public value, regulating market imperfections • Key challenge in EOSC: realising sustainability of the national / regional building blocks • International economics • EC, memberstate representation • Trade, Solidarity, Single Digital Market • Key challenge in EOSC: asymmetry in investments across member states (services, funding) • Meso economics • Political and institutional economics • Social behaviour, decision making, inertia • Key challenge in EOSC: build trust and enable collaboration Not solved in a single dialogue

32. Stakeholder forum panel session Questions • Coordinating sustainability of national infrastructures • Funding of the central components of the EOSC • Cost-recovery of international and interdisciplinary usageat the service provider level Discussion highlights • Embrace European diversity in a federation instead of  trying to harmonize • Leverage middle-out approach: intermediaries – don’t forget to position them • Build on existing strength, e.g. by distinguishing between wholesale and retail • Components will be paid for by those who buy it; if a component demonstrates its usefulness, the (public) funding will come • The notions of “everyone should have access” + “limited resources” don’t match: someone will need to prioritise • Cost recovery through anything else than a market-driven or requires a political decision. • It is the role of EOSC regulating responsibilities and liabilities

33. Core values will define what is collectively considered acceptable

34. Boiling it down • Making sure researchers get what they need • Ensuring good spending of public money • Providing metrics to support political decision • Allocative efficiency • Productive efficiency • Information asymmetry

35. One step concrete Aspects • Organising the Pan-EU value chain • Articulating efficiency incentives • Dealing with market imperfections Rearticulating roles and responsibilities • Role of researchers (users) • Role of research infrastructures • Role of e-infrastructures • Role of the market • Role of funders • … Possible measures • Wholesale-retail model • e.g. RIs as intermediary / interpreter • Output-funding • i.e. compensation based on production [and unit costs] • Cloud coins • i.e. hybrid model between full consumerisation and earmarked third party funding for a demand-driven model • Service catalogues • e.g. provide quality indicators on the service offering • Rules of engagement • i.e. market regulating instrument • e.g. healthy relationship between public and private sector • E-infrastructure consolidation • …

36. In summary • Sustainability > finance • Achieving sustainability of EOSC is not something we do in a deliverable • Compartmentalise discussions to make it manageable • Be explicit what problem we’re trying to tackle, by what solution, at which level

37. Tilt thediscussion • Not: “how to make EOSC sustainable” • But: “what are the sustainability components of EOSC”
