The co-fund action call
The call, planned to open on 09 March 2027, aims to strengthen the EOSC Federation by supporting the establishment of EOSC Nodes, enabling the onboarding of state-of-the-art digital services, and advancing the alignment of FAIR scientific data and services across Europe.
With a total investment of up to €80 million, jointly funded by the European Commission and participating national funding agencies, the action represents a major opportunity to accelerate the development and uptake of EOSC services and infrastructure across Europe.
