About

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is a pan-European project designed to create a virtual environment for sharing and accessing research data across borders and scientific disciplines. The EOSC Portal is the gateway to this environment, providing a single access point to a wealth of research resources and services.

Here, you can learn more about the EOSC, its projects, and the partnerships that make it all possible. Our EOSC Projects section showcases the diverse range of initiatives that contribute to the EOSC, from infrastructure development to data management and curation. The EOSC Glossary is a handy reference guide that explains key terms and concepts related to the EOSC.

We also value our partnerships, and believe that collaboration is crucial to the success of the EOSC. In our Partnerships section, you can find out more about the organisations and institutions that support the EOSC and help to shape its future.

We hope that this About page will help you to understand the EOSC and its role in advancing open science across Europe and beyond.

EOSC

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is an environment for hosting and processing research data to support EU science.

The ambition of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is to provide European researchers, innovators, companies and citizens with a federated and open multi-disciplinary environment where they can publish, find and re-use data, tools and services for research, innovation and educational purposes.

The EOSC Portal

The EOSC Portal is part of the EOSC implementation roadmap as one of the expected “federating core” services contributing to the implementation of the “Access and interface” action line.

It has been conceived to provide a European delivery channel connecting the demand-side and the supply-side of the EOSC and all its stakeholders.
