This short paper invites comment on proposed Minimum Viable Skillsets (MVS) for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) designed by the Skills4EOSC project. The MVS draw on established competences frameworks and resources defining the Open Science (OS) mission, activities, or outcomes expected of relevant roles. MVS synthesise these, profiling each role as an aid to developing new curricula, career paths and courses. A simple MVS format is proposed to articulate key skills and competences that enable researchers, professionals, and stakeholders to fulfil the OS expectations of the EOSC.
