European Open Science Cloud (EOSC)

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is an initiative supported by the European Commission to assist researchers and professionals in science and technology throughout the whole research cycle. The implementation required for the launch of EOSC 2020 is currently underway.

The EOSC will offer 1.7 million European researchers and 70 million professionals in science, technology, the humanities and social sciences a virtual environment with open and seamless services for storage, management, analysis and re-use of research data, across borders and scientific disciplines. Based on collaboration and links between European research infrastructures and e-infrastructures, EOSC is a research-focused, inclusive, transparent, reliable and accessible system that utilises the existing European infrastructure and anticipates a Pan-European data-infrastructure alliance. More information about the system is available at the EOSC Portal.
