The CERN EOSC Node will strengthen the EOSC Federation by providing high-TRL services and technology essential for high-energy physics (HEP) and interdisciplinary research. Services and technology include Zenodo, REANA, Indico, INSPIRE-HEP, HEPData, and the CERN Open Data portal, along with the ESCAPE Virtual Research Environment (VRE).

These will support FAIR, reproducible, and scalable workflows, enabling broader scientific impact. The Node will be deployed in two phases: first by onboarding CERN technology into the EOSC EU Node and testing the virtual credit model, and second by establishing the CERN EOSC Node with quotas and controlled resource allocation.

Key objective: To integrate CERN’s high-TRL services and technology into the EOSC Federation, as well as to support the exploitation of FAIR CERN Open Data, through reproducible workflows, analysis facilities, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
