FedOSC Belgium: Building Alignment Across Belgian FSIs Through GLAM Engagement

This poster presents FedOSC (Federal Open Science Cloud), a Belgian federal initiative supporting Open Science and FAIR research data management across Federal Scientific Institutions (FSIs). Focusing on the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums), it explores how cultural heritage data can become more visible and reusable within Open Science ecosystems. Through data stewardship, institutional collaboration, surveys, and “data interviews,” FedOSC identifies current practices, challenges, and opportunities for connecting collection-based infrastructures with research-oriented workflows. The project highlights the importance of balancing interoperability and reuse with the contextual richness and complexity of cultural heritage data, while fostering collaboration and awareness across institutions.
