EOSC takes next steps to establish a federation for sharing of research data and digital resources across Europe
On 25 March, the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Tripartite Governance convened in Krakow to discuss key developments in the sharing of research data and digital resources across Europe, and the next steps towards achieving a consensus regarding the overall model and sustainability of EOSC beyond 2027.
The topics under discussion included the review of the build-up phase of the EOSC Federation, the publication of the EOSC Federation Handbook, and the contribution of EOSC as a key pillar of a "fifth freedom" for research and innovation in the EU single market, underscoring its role in driving European research and innovation capacity and competitiveness. The participating organisations are now using the results of the workshop to revise their planned activities and start the implementation of priority actions, with the next progress checkpoint scheduled for June 2025.
