EOSC EU Node Goes Live: Uniting Europe’s Research Through Open Science!

The EOSC EU Node is now fully operational, marking a significant milestone introduced at the EOSC Symposium in Berlin on October 21-23, 2024. This launch represents a collaborative achievement under the guidance of DG-CNECT, bringing together key European partners to unify access to data and services across member states. The EOSC EU Node opens new doors for interdisciplinary and cross-border research, fostering a shared digital ecosystem for researchers to connect, collaborate, and innovate.

We are proud to be part of this effort, providing the infrastructure and expertise to connect researchers with extensive open data, tools, and services through the OpenAIRE Graph — a core component of the EOSC EU Node Resource Hub.

Together, we’re enabling a future where open science drives Europe’s research forward.
