EOSC-Nordic is the result of a Nordic-Baltic collaboration between 24 partner institutions, bridging e-Infrastructure providers, research communities, archive holders, ministries, funding agencies, as well as national, European, and international Open Science experts, etc., in one big and pan-European collaboration!
The EOSC-Nordic project facilitated a regional coordination of EOSC relevant initiatives within the Nordic and Baltic countries. The project exploited synergies achieving greater harmonisation at policy and service provisioning across these countries, in compliance with EOSC agreed standards and practices.
The EOSC-Nordic project fostered and advanced the take-up of the European Open Science Cloud in the Nordic & Baltic region through the coordinating the EOSC relevant initiatives taking place in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia.
EOSC implementation relies both on the EC funding projects and in-kind contributions of organisations. In order to be successful these two parties need to work in sync, avoiding duplication of effort and divergent routes. EOSC-Nordic has been a pioneer in approaching the Grant Agreement activities within a bigger picture, the picture of the EOSC co-programmed partnership. All the Nordic and Baltic countries have committed to the ERA action number 1; thanks to the SRIA there is a common EOSC vision and strategic roadmap. The EOSC Association is setting up mechanisms for facilitating and making more impactful work of the projects, at regional level we will maintain the community, supported by the NeiC affiliate programme.
