Aneta Pazik-Aybar
On 13 February 2026, nominees-experts from the EU member states and countries associated to Horizon Europe appointed Co-Chairs of the EOSC Steering Board, a key strategic authority of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
The EOSC Steering Board supports the European Commission in guiding the EOSC development and forms a part of the EOSC Tripartite Governance.
This is a huge honour for Aneta, as well as the National Science Centre and our country. Aneta’s involvement and long-term efforts to support open science have a real impact on the EOSC development in Poland and abroad.
In view of the recent International Day of Women and Girls in Science, her success is of particular importance. Aneta’s experience, knowledge and passion serve as an example of the highest European decision-making position of women in the field of research and innovation.
Congratulations to Aneta! We are proud of your accomplishment and wish you every success in developing strong, open and modern European science.
