Overview

  • The EOSC Federation is a distributed "system of systems" that federates national, regional, thematic, and European infrastructures to give researchers seamless access to digital research resources and FAIR research outputs.
  • It aims to move from siloed services to an integrated, community-driven environment that supports storage, sharing, processing, and analysis across borders.

Vision & Core Purpose

  • Provide a trustworthy, secure, and community-led environment for Open Science in Europe.
  • Enable interoperable access to data, software, publications, and computing resources to accelerate research and collaboration.

Core Objectives

  • Seamless access: unified experience for finding and using research resources.
  • FAIR implementation: promote Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable practices and standards.
  • Common European Data Space for R&I: create an interoperable data space for research and innovation.
  • Global links: connect with international open-science initiatives.

Target Users

  • Primary: researchers at research-performing organisations and research infrastructures.
  • Secondary: citizen scientists and industry researchers who can benefit from federated resources.

Architecture: System of Systems

  • The Federation is not a single central cloud but a network of autonomous EOSC Nodes that interoperate under common rules.
  • Nodes operate independently but expose services and metadata so resources can be discovered and used across the Federation.

EOSC Node — Definition and Role

  • An EOSC Node is a platform run by a national, regional, thematic, or European organisation or consortium that provides access to digital research resources.
  • Nodes must follow Federation policies while retaining internal governance and control over their resources.

Key elements of a Node

  • Autonomy: Nodes manage internal consortia and bilateral agreements as long as they comply with Federation rules.
  • Legal representation: Each Node is represented by a legal organisation that accepts Federation policies.
  • Resource integration: Nodes should integrate services (e.g., AAI proxies compatible with the AARC Blueprint) to enable federation-wide capabilities.

Foundational Principles

  • Inclusivity & accessibility: low barriers to entry and ease of use for diverse participants.
  • Community-driven: co-creation and stakeholder engagement guide the Federation.
  • Autonomy & control: resource owners keep control and retain rights and credit for data.
  • Flexibility: evolutionary approach, learning and adapting over time.

Governance & Operational Structure

Tripartite strategic governance

  • European Commission: DG RTD and DG CNECT represent the Commission.
  • EOSC Association: non-profit representing stakeholders and providing the Interim Secretariat.
  • EOSC Steering Board: representatives of Member States and Horizon Europe associated countries.

Interim operational governance (transition to production)

  • Interim EOSC Node Coordinator Committee: strategic alignment and policy endorsement with Node and Tripartite reps.
  • Interim EOSC Node Operations Committee: handles technical onboarding, interoperability, and monitoring.
  • Interim Working Groups: address thematic issues and produce recommendations.
  • Interim Secretariat: EOSC Association coordinates administration and communication.

Technical Requirements & Interoperability

Mandatory technical requirements

  • Federated AAI: Nodes must comply with EOSC Node Federated AAI requirements (EOSC AAI Architecture 2025) by March 2025.
  • Federated catalogues: Nodes must register Service and Research Product catalogues in the EOSC EU Node Resource Catalogue by September 2025.

Recommended capabilities

  • Order management and helpdesk systems to support user workflows.
  • Service monitoring and accounting for research products to track usage and performance.
  • Application workflow management to automate and coordinate resource use.

Roadmap, Deployment Waves & Milestones

  • The Federation moves through an Interim Phase (2025–2027) to transition prototype commitments into full production.

Deployment waves

  • First wave: 13 candidate Nodes (national, thematic, e-infrastructures) addressing overlaps and access policies.
  • Second wave: announced November 2025, applications deadline January 2026, deployment starting May 2026.

Q4 2025 target milestones

  1. First-edition Federation-wide policies released (Rules of Participation, Cybersecurity, Privacy).
  2. Detailed Node application process (legal, organisational, technical) published.
  3. First edition of the EOSC Interoperability Framework released.
  4. Demonstration of cross-Node use of federating capabilities (monitoring, helpdesk, accounting).

Strategic Value & Outcomes

  • Efficiency & sustainability: reduces duplication and pools resources and expertise.
  • Research integrity: promotes reproducibility through FAIR practices and standards.
  • Data sovereignty: balances openness with necessary restrictions so owners retain rights and credit.
  • Visibility & cross-domain research: amplifies scientific reach and enables interdisciplinary work.
  • Robustness: improves resilience against cyber threats and unreliable digital objects.

Education & Training

  • EOSC Academy will build participant capacity; training activities start with the Winter School in January 2026.

Quick reference: important deadlines

  • Federated AAI compliance: March 2025.
  • Register catalogues in EOSC Resource Catalogue: September 2025.
  • Second wave application deadline: January 2026; deployment from May 2026.

Practical takeaways for a Node applicant

  • Prepare legal representation and governance aligned with Federation rules.
  • Implement or plan for federated AAI and catalogue registration before deadlines.
  • Consider adding helpdesk, monitoring, and workflow management to meet recommended capabilities.
  • Engage with interim governance bodies and working groups to influence policies and interoperability.
