The Photon and Neutron Cloud EOSC Node federates data and services from Europe’s photon and neutron research infrastructures.
It builds on the PaNOSC and ExPaNDS projects, integrating 11 facilities and their catalogues, AAI, VREs, training, and visualisation services. The Node will enhance FAIR data availability, enable AI/ML applications, and strengthen Open Science practices across domains. It connects with EOSC EU Node and other thematic/national nodes to maximise scientific and societal impact.
Key objective: To provide FAIR, high-quality data and services from photon and neutron RIs into the EOSC Federation, increasing scientific impact, adoption of FAIR, and cross-node collaboration.
Science areas: Photon and neutron science, including X-ray crystallography, neutron scattering, CryoEM, spectroscopy, palaeontology, imaging, materials science, life sciences.
