This document discusses the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative, which aims to: 1) Develop a trusted, open environment for scientific communities to store, share, and reuse scientific data and results through the EOSC. 2) Deploy high-performance computing, fast connectivity, and high-capacity cloud solutions for scientists via a European Data Infrastructure. 3) Initially focus on scientific communities but later expand to public sectors and industries to benefit all areas of economy and society.

2. Digital Single Market Strategy, May 2015
»The Commission will propose in 2016 a European ‘Free flow of data’
initiative that tackles restrictions on the free movement of data for
reasons other than the protection of personal data within the EU and
unjustified restrictions on the location of data for storage or
processing purposes. It will address the emerging issues of ownership,
interoperability, usability and access to data in situations such as
business-to-business, business to consumer, machine generated and
machine-to-machine data. It will encourage access to public data to
help drive innovation.The Commission will launch a European Cloud
initiative including cloud services certification, contracts, switching of
cloud services providers and a research open science cloud

› to develop a trusted, open environment for the scientific
community for storing, sharing and re-using scientific data
and results- the European Open Science Cloud
› to deploy the underpinning super-computing capacity, the
fast connectivity and the high-capacity cloud solutions they
need via a European Data Infrastructure
› Focussing initially on the scientific community, the user base
will be expanded to the public sector and to industry,
creating solutions and technologies that will benefit all areas
of the economy and society

4. Joint e-Infrastructure Vision
4
The Open Science Cloud offers researchers from all disciplines
seamless, open access to the advanced digital
capabilities, resources and expertise they need to collaborate
and to carry out data- and computing-intensive science.
Secure and trustworthy, the Open Science Cloud
engages researchers in governing, managing and
preserving resources for everyone’s benefit.

scientific disciplines to data
» Establishing a governance and business model
that sets the rules for the use of EOSC
» Creating a cross-border and multi-disciplinary
open innovation environment for research data,
knowledge and services
» Establishing global standards for interoperability
for scientific data
