EOSC Mesh: Connecting Nodes to Advance the EOSC Federation

Objective

Europe faces major fragmentation in accessing, sharing, and reusing research data and services across disciplines and borders. EOSC Mesh addresses these challenges by expanding EOSC capacity and capabilities by establishing and enrolling seven federating Nodes interoperable with the EOSC EU Node: Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources (BBMRI), ENVRI (Environmental RIs), SSHOC (Social Sciences and Humanities), Scholarly Communications (OpenAIRE and OPERAS), High Energy Physics (CERN), and e-Infrastructures (EGI Federation and EUDAT CDI).
The federating Nodes will provide 25 Federating Capabilities offering Core, Generic and Thematic functionalities, and additional resources to EOSC including 2600+ tools and services, 1700+ datasets and the world’s largest biobank data repository, 80 workflows, and 5000+ other research artefacts.
The Nodes will support a service adoption programme to stimulate the growth of EOSC Federation Capabilities through open calls and the onboarding of services and research products from eight European countries and two international Research Infrastructures: CESNET (CZ), CSIC (ES), CYFRONET (PL), DataTerra (FR), EODC (AT), NFDI (DE), JISC (UK), LIP (PT); and GlobalCoast (Environmental Sciences) and METROFOOD-RI (Life Sciences).
We estimate to engage 650,000+ individual users and over 2000 research centres and health centers and industry partners spanning 40+ countries. The project supports this with 7 cross-node, international use cases from Environmental Science, Health, Social Science and Humanities, and Multidisciplinary Science. Users will be involved in co-design through requirement elicitation, piloting, integration and validation.
EOSC Mesh aims at advancing EOSC technically and organisationally, while providing tangible benefits to researchers, accelerating open and collaborative science in Europe. The consortium involves 46 partners requesting an EC budget of 9,591,388€ and contributing 1,851,940€ of their own resources.
