Project description
Supporting the European Open Science Cloud partnership transition
The EU-funded EOSC Gravity project will support the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) partnership in providing a flow of reliable information on the status of the EOSC and in developing strategic recommendations to ensure it successfully transitions into a new governance and funding model post-2027. Through top-down and bottom-up approaches, the project will mobilise and grow the EOSC community by empowering stakeholders to further evolve the EOSC Federation. Moreover, it will co-fund actions which will support the creation of several EOSC Nodes across Europe. Through collaboration and dialogue, EOSC Gravity will build on past, present, and future EU and national investments in this area to help establish the EOSC as a federated infrastructure enabling the use and re-use of FAIR digital objects.
Objective
EOSC Gravity will support the transition of the European co-programmed Partnership for EOSC into its new governance and funding framework. EOSC Gravity will leverage EOSC Focus engagement channels and facilities and establish new ones. Through open calls, EOSC Gravity will provide funding to support the EOSC Federation by encouraging the creation of EOSC Nodes, inter-project collaboration, and will support the revision of SRIA 2.0. The further evolution of the EOSC Federation will be charted through measures to monitor and report on EOSC Partnership KPIs and to establish a methodology to assess the impact of EOSC.
What: EOSC Gravity will support the Partnership in its role of charting a continuous flow of up-to-date and accurate information on the status of EOSC and developing strategic recommendations through the SRIA to ensure that the Partnership transitions into a new governance and funding model post-2027.
HOW: EOSC Gravity will mobilise and grow the broader EOSC community with outreach and engagement activities empowering stakeholders to further evolve the EOSC Federation; and will directly fund actions to support the creation of several EOSC Nodes. The EOSC Academy will be anchored to ensure an informed community has the expertise to foster EOSC-related activities at country and institution levels. Projects will collaborate and will feed their results into EOSC-A Task Forces.
WHY: EOSC Gravity will pull the EOSC communities of stakeholders together to contribute to a smooth and effective transition from the Partnership to a new governance and funding framework for EOSC post-2027. Multi-stakeholder collaboration and dialogue which builds on EU and national investments in this area is needed for the future of EOSC as a federated infrastructure.
WHO: The EOSC Gravity consortium is formulated as a lean grouping of skilled partners coordinated by EOSC-A, the EC’s partner in the EOSC Partnership and current coordinator of the EOSC Focus project.
