The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is an environment for hosting and processing research data to support EU science.
The ambition of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is to provide European researchers, innovators, companies and citizens with a federated and open multi-disciplinary environment where they can publish, find and re-use data, tools and services for research, innovation and educational purposes.
The EOSC enables a step change across scientific communities and research infrastructures towards:
seamless access
FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability) management
reliable reuse of research data and all other digital objects produced along the research life cycle (e.g. methods, software and publications)
EOSC ultimately aims to develop a Web of FAIR Data and services for science in Europe upon which a wide range of value-added services can be built. These range from visualisation and analytics to long-term information preservation or the monitoring of the uptake of open science practices.
