EOSC Node Operations Committee

The EOSC Node Operations Committee addresses cross-Node technical matters, with a focus on:

  • Coordination of service and resource onboarding
  • Advancement of interoperability
  • Monitoring of technical implementation of federating capabilities
  • Operational services management organisation
  • Developing practices that enable seamless integration of services and resources across EOSC Nodes

The EOSC Node Operations Committee (NOC) reports updates and proposals to the Federation’s Node Coordinators Committee.

The NOC is composed of one representative from each participating Node, and includes invited guests as observers.

Rolling updates from the NOC

25 June 2026

At the NCC#6 meeting on 25 June 2026, the Node Operations Committee reported continued progress on the Federated AAI, service and research product catalogues, monitoring and production-readiness planning.

Most first-wave Nodes are approaching AAI production readiness, while onboarding of second-wave Nodes has begun in the testing environment. A dedicated Federated AAI session was scheduled for 30 June.

The NOC supported the creation of a Help Desk Working Group and a Federation-level Support Unit from October 2026. A detailed mandate and governance proposal will be prepared for discussion in Brussels.

The NOC also requested a consolidated production-readiness checklist covering technical, operational, governance and legal requirements, including MoU signature, registration, AAI integration, catalogues, mandatory federating capabilities and at least one functioning use case.
