EOSC EU Node technical launch event

The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) and Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CNECT) are organising a technical launch event of the EOSC EU Node online on 10 October 2024 at 9.30 – 13.15 CEST.

Supporting the EU’s Policy of Open Science, the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) aims to give the EU a global lead in research data management and ensure that scientists in Europe enjoy the full benefits of data-driven science. To foster the development of EOSC, the European Commission has deployed into production the EOSC EU Node in the form of managed services provided by third-party contractors.

The online launch event will focus on a technical demonstration of the EOSC EU Node, provided by the contractors at first hand, who are also responsible for the operations, maintenance and support of the services.

A panel on the buildup of the EOSC Federation will reflect on the importance of this milestone, its impact on the future development of EOSC, on the buildup of the EOSC Federation and on the broader adoption of Open Science principles. The moderated panel discussion will feature representatives from the EOSC Association and its Board of Directors, EOSC Steering Board, the European Commission, the contractors providing the EOSC EU Node and the research community.
