EOSC-CONNECT:

Growing National EOSC Nodes & Advancing Federating Capabilities for the EOSC Federation 

EOSC-CONNECT advances the growth of the EOSC Federation as a distributed system of systems by preparing 14 candidate National Nodes for enrolment while developing and testing the federating capabilities that keep the Federation more interoperable, resilient and open to future nodes, resources and disciplines.

A more connected EOSC Federation

EOSC-CONNECT brings together organisations from 14 European countries — spanning candidate National Node operators and specialised technology and engagement partners — to advance a more open, interoperable and federated research environment.

The project helps National Nodes work together, connecting research infrastructures across borders and making them easier to discover, adopt and use — so operators and researchers alike can build on shared, federated capabilities rather than starting from scratch.

Why does this matter?

Science

Make scientific knowledge easier to discover and reuse across the Federation

Community

Support collaboration between National Nodes and the wider EOSC community

Blueprints

Reduce duplication by sharing common blueprints, guidelines and technology

Idea

Enable faster adoption of federating capabilities through peer support and hands-on demonstrators

Building the EOSC Federation together

EOSC-CONNECT supports the creation of connected National Nodes that operate as part of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Federation — a distributed system of systems in which independently managed nodes collaborate to serve researchers while reinforcing each other's resilience.

EOSC-CONNECT helps make this vision operational by delivering the connections, tools, governance models and cooperation the EOSC Federation needs to mature.
