The OSCA (Open Scientific Collections Austria) consortium is an association of natural science museums and university collections with the aim of building up skills and capacities for the digitization of natural science collections in Austria. The consortium will meet from September 11th<\/sup> to 12th<\/sup>, 2025, at the Natural History Museum in Vienna to discuss perspectives related to the digital transformation of natural science collections. In 2025, Austria will also become part of the European Research Infrastructure DiSSCo (Distributed System of Scientific Collections) as an early adopter, with the goal of establishing a federated European Infrastructure as a powerful tool for data-intensive research based on real world collection objects.<\/p>\n

On the first day the talks will focus on the processes involved from institutional commitment towards national and European infrastructures. Various infrastructures will be presented and talks will outline the overall visions, emphasizing the richness and contextualization within the landscape of Research Infrastructures.<\/p>\n

On the second day, a hands-on workshop and interactive training will give the opportunity to work on data transfer from institutions to the OSCA Cache, the national data aggregation node for DiSSCo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please use the main entrance of the Natural History Museum Vienna at Maria-Theresien-Platz to access the lecture hall.<\/strong> An entrance ticket to the museum is not necessary.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The conference is free of charge. We kindly ask participants to organize their own travel to Vienna and accommodation in Vienna.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in participating, please register by August 25,2025 via <\/strong>osca@nhm.at<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n
