EOSC is a pan-European initiative to create a unified European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) data infrastructure accessible to academia, industry and public service providers. The aim of building EOSC is to accelerate and support the current transition towards open science and open innovation in the Digital Single Market and to boost the economy by using research results – technology transfer. The EOSC will enable the interconnection of existing (and future) data infrastructures for scientific data, which are today fragmented across disciplines and Member States. The ambition is to create a “Web of FAIR Data and Services” based on the principle of making research data accessible in line with the FAIR Principles policy.
The strategy for the implementation of EOSC in the Czech Republic is based on the framework material “Architecture for the implementation of the EOSC-CZ initiative”(CZ) and is further supported by the outputs of the EOSC-CZ Working Groups.
OSC EU Node
At the pan-European level, this idea is implemented through the EOSC EU Node platform, to which other services are, or will be in the future, loosely linked at national or sectoral level. These Nodes should form an interconnected network of autonomous units, operating on the basis of a shared framework of standards, policies and best practices.
EOSC in the Czech Republic
In the Czech Republic, EOSC is implemented through 3 main complementary projects – EOSC-CZ IPs CARDS IPs and the NRP project.
