Nine new Horizon Europe INFRAEOSC projects to launch in 2025

The EOSC Association welcomes the new projects!

As the new year begins, nine new EOSC-related Horizon Europe projects will join the group of 23 ongoing projects contributing to the development and deployment of EOSC.

The nine new projects have ambitious objectives ranging from climate change adaptation to providing new innovative EOSC Exchange services. The 2024 INFRAEOSC projects are funded through HORIZON.1.3 – Research Infrastructures, under Consolidating and Developing the Landscape of European Research Infrastructures, and will kick off over the course of 2025.

Projects

CLIMATE-ADAPT4EOSC

Duration: 1 January 2025 – 31 December 2028

Coordinator: National Centre of Scientific Research “Demokritos”

CLIMATE-ADAPT4EOSC project helps researchers in various disciplines to better address climate change in their research by providing an EOSC-centred collaborative research environment that is equipped with existing EOSC data and services and extended with new data and innovative services, such as FAIRification and Mapping and Entity Matching features. The project will develop a climate change adaptation ontology and an EOSC Climate-Adapt Knowledge Graph based on the ontology, which will support findability, accessibility, tracking and life cycle management of different research outputs. The project will magnify the potential of European scientific communities in addressing this grand societal challenge.

FAIR2ADAPT

Duration: 1 January 2025 – 31 December 2027

Coordinator: Simula Research Laboratory 

The FAIR2Adapt is a multidisciplinary project geared towards transforming data into actionable knowledge to shape climate adaptation strategies. It will adopt FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs) and use semantic bridging strategies, such as the I-ADOPT framework, and tailored FDO services to build a collaborative, user-friendly FAIR and open data sharing framework. A significant aspect of the FAIR2Adapt project is stakeholder engagement and capacity-building activities, which will be instrumental in raising awareness and devising customised solutions. By transforming data into flexible, practical, and resilient climate adaptation strategies, FAIR2Adapt constructs a scalable and extensible model for data sharing that can be adapted to multiple climate adaptation scenarios.

DataGEMS

Duration: 1 January 2025 – 31 December 2027

Coordinator: Athena – Research and Innovation Center in Information, Communication and Knowledge Technologies

DataGEMS is a data discovery platform with Generalized Exploratory, Management, and Search capabilities. It is a next-generation data discovery and management ecosystem that engulfs different types of data (structured, unstructured, real-time and historical) and enables users to (a) enrich data through powerful data profiling mechanisms (b) seamlessly discover and analyze data across and within datasets using user-intuitive discovery and analysis mechanisms, such as using natural language and patterns, and (c) effectively explore and combine data with the help of stepwise guidance mechanisms during dataset discovery and analysis. DataGEMS is informed by and will be initially tested and deployed to promote data FAIRness and benefit diverse user communities and types of users on domains of education, meteorology, and language data infrastructures.

EOSC Data Commons

Duration: 1 April 2025 –  31 March 2028

Coordinator: EGI Foundation

The EOSC Data Commons project’s mission is to contribute to the establishment of EOSC as the European Research Commons.The project will deliver innovative EOSC Exchange services that will improve and accelerate data lifecycle management supporting discovery, analysis, deposition, preservation, sharing, use and reuse of research data in a European data and compute continuum that builds on the capabilities of the EOSC EU Node, national and European infrastructures for data-intensive research and a community of federated repositories from national, institutional and thematic initiatives. The new solutions provided by EOSC Data Commons projects are intended to support the integration of Nodes in the future EOSC Federation.

EOSC EDEN

Duration: 1 January 2025 – 31 December 2027

Coordinator: CSC-IT Center for Science

EOSC EDEN will develop and establish a framework to identify what data are candidates for long-term preservation based on use, benefit, and quality and a model for re-appraisal points along data lifecycle and test usability. It will identify practices to support the creation of curation, long-term preservation, and access strategies in Europe. These outputs will be complemented by a set of user-centric tools, services, and standards that the project will develop to support the establishment of a European distributed infrastructure for long-term preservation, curation, and access in Europe. Namely, EOSC EDEN will build a registry to mainstream tools and services from trustworthy repositories and long-term archives into EOSC; will enhance and develop new services to automate preservation and curation actions and will identify standards and protocols to submit and exchange candidate packages for long-term preservation.

FIDELIS

Duration: 1 January 2025 – 31 December 2027

Coordinator: CSC-IT Center for Science

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) aims to develop a web of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data and services for science in Europe. In order to achieve a sustainable EOSC, Trustworthy Digital Repositories (TDRs) providing long-term preservation services are required. The FIDELIS project aims to establish a healthy, vibrant and self-sustaining network of TDRs that will foster a supportive open science environment and guarantee FAIR data sharing also in the future. Within its three-year lifetime, FIDELIS will set up, develop, and operate a European network of trustworthy repositories that will support the development and growth of TDRs within the EOSC ecosystem; foster harmonisation and interoperability across repositories to enable an EOSC federation of TDRs; and strengthen the upskilling of repositories and expansion of the network through an active training and support programme.

EOSC GRAVITY

Duration: 1 June 2025 – 31 December 2027 

Coordinator: EOSC Association

EOSC GRAVITY will support the transition of the European co-programmed Partnership for EOSC into its new governance and funding framework. The project will pick up where EOSC Focus left and establish also new stakeholder engagement channels. Through open calls, EOSC GRAVITY will provide funding to support the EOSC Federation by encouraging the creation of EOSC Nodes, inter-project collaboration, and will support the revision of SRIA 2.0. The further evolution of the EOSC Federation will be charted through measures to monitor and report on EOSC Partnership KPIs and to establish a methodology to assess the impact of EOSC. EOSC GRAVITY will pull the EOSC communities of stakeholders together to contribute to a smooth and effective transition from the Partnership to a new governance and funding framework for EOSC post-2027.

Duration: 1 January 2025 – 31 December 2027

Coordinator: Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS)

The LUMEN project is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing cross-domain collaboration and discovery processes in the fields of Mathematics (Maths), Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), Earth System (ES), and Molecular Dynamics (MD), and beyond. Leveraging the successful GoTriple platform, renowned for its service to the SSH community, LUMEN seeks to extend its functionality to foster interoperability across scientific domains. Through interdisciplinary solutions spanning all four domains, LUMEN will redefine the process of discovery with radical innovations, simplifying initial research phases and facilitating access to advanced AI-powered tools for researchers.

RAISE Suite

Duration: 1 September 2025 – 31 December 2028

Coordinator: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 

RAISE Suite aims at removing barriers to management and sharing of research data. The project will develop the solutions required to automate the process from data collection to dataset generation, guided by a FAIR-by-design principle, which will speed-up and ease research data sharing. Simultaneously, EOSC-RAISE will be integrated into RAISE Suite, for a platform which supports simple dataset sharing and exploitation, mitigating the sense of lack of recognition and data protection among researchers. Furthermore, RAISE Suite will implement a DMP-guided data collection and management policy. The project will adopt a Machine Actionable Data Management Plan and extend it, e.g., by turning the persistent identifier DMP-ID into the main reference point for the whole data lifecycle.
