Description
The EOSC Federation will consist of multiple “EOSC Nodes” that are interconnected and can collaborate to share and manage scientific data, knowledge, and resources within and across thematic and geographical research communities. This session will mark the official launch of the first node of the EOSC Federation, the EOSC EU Node, and will provide the EOSC Symposium participants with an overview of the status of implementation of the rest of the EOSC Federation and the related next steps.
More about the EOSC EU Node: Owned by DG CONNECT, the EOSC EU Node is a platform that primarily supports multi-disciplinary and multi-national research promoting the use of FAIR data and supplementary services in Europe and beyond. In addition, the EOSC EU Node is a platform that facilitates the creation of the EOSC Federation, following the system of systems architectural principle of federated research infrastructures. The oversight of the EOSC EU Node platform services is provided by the EOSC Tripartite Governance.
More about the EOSC Federation: To fully unlock the benefits of EOSC, one single node is not enough: additional “EOSC Nodes” need to be established and enrolled into the EOSC Federation.
