The European Open Science Cloud

https://ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/index.cfm?pg=home

https://ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/pdf/realising_the_european_open_science_cloud_2016.pdf
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) aims to accelerate and support the current transition to more effective Open Science and Open Innovation in the Digital Single Market.

It should enable trusted access to services, systems and the re-use of shared scientific data across disciplinary, social and geographical borders. The term cloud is understood by the High level Expert Group
(HLEG) as a metaphor to help convey both seamlessness and the idea of a commons based on
scientific data. This report approaches the EOSC as a federated environment for scientific data
sharing and re-use, based on existing and emerging elements in the Member States, with lightweight
international guidance and governance and a large degree of freedom regarding practical
implementation. The EOSC is indeed a European infrastructure, but it should be globally
interoperable and accessible. It includes the required human expertise, resources, standards, best
practices as well as the underpinning technical infrastructures. An important aspect of the EOSC is
systematic and professional data management and long-term stewardship of scientific data assets
and services in Europe and globally. However, data stewardship is not a goal in itself and the final
realm of the EOSC is the frontier of science and innovation in Europe.

On 21 June 2017, the European Commission set-up the new High Level Expert Group European Open Science Cloud. Its mission is to advise the Commission on the measures needed to implement the European Open Science Cloud.

The new group, chaired by Silvana Muscella, is composed of ten high-level experts from different European countries and two third-countries (Australia and US). Together, they have a complementary set of expertise related to various key aspects of the set-up of scientific data clouds, including standardisation, certification, procurement, delivery of federated services, business models, management, governance and funding of national and European research data infrastructures and e-Infrastructures.
