ESFRI thematic cluster projects

The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) was established to shape collaboration in five thematic areas to pave the way for Open Access data for the EOSC. Through its cluster projects, supported by INFRAEOSC-04-2018, ESFRI steers the integration and consolidation of thematic e-infrastructure platforms in preparation for connecting them to EOSC. The ESFRI cluster projects implement interfaces to integrate computer and data management solutions to create cross-border, interdisciplinary and open cooperation spaces for European researchers.
