Outline

3. The movement to make scientific research and its dissemination
accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or
professional.
A continuation of, rather than a revolution in research practices
New technologies, approaches, policies
 Virtualisation, containers, Open Access, F.A.I.R., …
Publications, data, physical samples, and software

All linked

European Open Science Cloud - Problem statement
European Cloud Initiative
by the European Commission (April 2016)
1. How to maximise the incentives for sharing data and to
increase the capacity to exploit them?
2. How to ensure that data can be used as widely as
possible, across scientific disciplines and between the
public and the private sector?
3. How better to interconnect the existing and the new data
infrastructures across Europe?
4. How best to coordinate the support available to
European data infrastructures as they move towards
exascale computing?
“…a trusted, open environment for the scientific community for
storing, sharing and re- using scientific data and results…”
“…by 2020…”

Foundation
The EOSC-hub project mobilises providers of
European relevance offering services, software and
data for advanced data-driven research and
innovation.
These resources are offered via the Hub – the
integration and management system of the
European Open Science Cloud, acting as a
European-level entry point for all stakeholders.

RESEARCHERS &
RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS
Easy Adoption
Validated cloud and
Earth Observation services
which meet the community’s needs.
Integrated with the EOSC.
Ready-to-use (no need to run your own
tender). Benefit from adoption funds.
COMMERCIAL CLOUD &
EARTH OBSERVATION
SERVICE PROVIDERS
Easy delivery
OCRE facilitates cloud and Earth
Observation providers to reach and meet
the needs of the research community.
Efficient route to market:
Respond to 1 tender - Reach 10,000
institutions
OCRE facilitates the usage of commercial cloud and Earth Observation
services
by the European research community.
OCRE aggregates requirements and demand of the research community
into a public procurement / tender: to establish ready-to-use agreements
with capable suppliers. OCRE stimulates adoption making available
€9.5 million in EC adoption funding to researchers.

13. OCRE makes available €100,000 in adoption funds,
to the EOSC Early Adopter Programme:
in the form of pre-paid vouchers.
IaaS resources bought in bulk by OCRE from suppliers in the GÉANT
framework, will be distributed via vouchers, to researchers selected in
the EOSC Early Adopter Programma calls.

The Early Adopter Programme
https://www.eosc-hub.eu/eosc-early-adopter-programme

21. • For 6-12 months you will receive:
- Infrastructure to pilot technical solution (with software and data)
- Support from expert staff to integrate Your application and data
- 150 CPU cores, 300 GB of RAM, 2 TB of storage for data analysis, 10 TB for
long term archiving  Or even more!
- Travel fund to attend f2f meetings and other relevant events (e.g. EOSC
Symposium in Budapest in Nov 2019)
• At the end selected projects will receive further support to scale up to
full-scale production operation (with further capacity acquisition)
22
Why to apply

22. • Impact of the work
• Support by mature research infrastructures, research organisations or a
project
• Open Access publishing/consuming third-party research artefacts (based
on Data Management Plan)
• Spectrum of data integration, management, interoperability and analysis
challenges
• Your resources (services, applications etc.) already demonstrated mature
operation
• Can be realistically completed within 6-12 months
