The document discusses the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) which aims to provide European scientists with free and open services for storing, managing, analyzing and reusing research data across borders and disciplines. It outlines the EOSC's vision and two phase plan for financing and development, with Phase 1 until 2020 receiving €300 million from the European Commission and Phase 2 after 2020 establishing a sustainable financial structure. It also describes how national research organizations from over 30 countries are engaging with the EOSC, how it supports FAIR data principles, and its high-level architecture involving service providers, a portal, catalog and users.

2. The Vision
The role of the EOSC is to
ensure that European scientists
reap the full benefits of data-
driven science, by offering:
1.7 million European
researchers and 70 million
professionals in science and
technology a virtual
environment with free at the
point of use, open and seamless
services for storage,
management, analysis and re-
use of research data, across
borders and scientific disciplines

4. Financing the EOSC
Phase 1, until 2020:
• The Commission will invest EUR 300 million to support the core functions
of the EOSC as per milestones
• Member States flag the national initiatives that they want to federate with
the EOSC
• Policies, rules of participation, core services to be agreed
Phase 2, after 2020:
• Sustainable financial and legal structure for EOSC based on studies
performed and experience gathered during Phase 1

9. Join as a service provider
• Online platform where
providers can manage
service requests, interact
with users and provide
support to them, and
agree the most suitable
service levels
• Publish, share and
advertise services and
resources to a wider user
base
• Allow users to authenticate
with existing credentials to
access services and
resources and get support
to enable this
• Get statistics about access
requests and user
feedback
