EOSC United
Coordination and Support Action for the Future Engagement Model for the EOSC Federation
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) aims to establish a FAIR research system in Europe through the EOSC Federation, enabling researchers to share and analyse data across disciplines and borders. The EOSC United project plays a crucial role in uniting the research community within this federation.
The EOSC EU Node will serve as a key building block for the EOSC Federation, providing blueprints and an interoperability framework for future nodes. It aims to promote multidisciplinary research by leveraging FAIR data and services across Europe and beyond.
EOSC United supports the European Commission and EOSC EU Node contractors in promoting resource uptake. It engages various stakeholders, facilitates user involvement through use cases and workshops in collaboration with EOSC Gravity to showcase early successes. The project provides feedback on the EOSC EU Node’s evolution and helps shape the EOSC Federation’s governance and operational framework.
Through these efforts, EOSC United aims to solidify EOSC’s position in future EU framework programmes and ensure its success as a collaborative and sustainable research infrastructure. The work conducted is essential in realising the vision of open, accessible, and reusable scientific data across Europe.
CSC is leading the work package on EOSC EU Node adoption and future evolution. CSC will ensure that user feedback is gathered and that any gaps in service offerings are addressed to enhance functionality and scalability. CSC is also leading the engagement activities with Data Spaces to help position EOSC as the Common European Data Space for Research and Innovation, and will contribute to wider engagement and education activities aimed at various stakeholders.
In addition, CSC will be involved in developing tools such as a standardised business model framework and incentive structure that rewards participation, collaboration and innovation within the EOSC Federation.
