Project description
Uniting Europe’s research community through open science
When scientific data is scattered across disconnected sources and stored with incomplete metadata, this fragmentation makes discovery, integration and reuse of data very difficult. With this in mind, the EU-funded EOSC United project aims to build a federated system for sharing and analysing FAIR data across Europe. EOSC United brings together key stakeholders to support the uptake and development of the EOSC Federation. The goal is to promote user engagement through use cases and adoption calls, while gathering feedback to refine services and interoperability. By contributing to governance and long-term sustainability, the project positions EOSC as a cornerstone of open science.
Objective
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) aims to establish a FAIR research system in Europe through the EOSC Federation, enabling researchers to share and analyze 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, launching in autumn 2024, will serve as the foundation 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 adoption calls 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 project's work is essential in realizing the vision of open, accessible, and reusable scientific data across Europe.
