Collaborative procurement is emerging as an essential capability of the future EOSC. It has the potential to increasing cost effectiveness, reduce the time/effort/risk in resource acquisition, and creating market opportunities. This presentation will provide an overview of previous experiences and describe the planned activities within the EOSC-hub project.
