EOSC, the European Open Science Cloud, is a web of FAIR data and services for science that offers visualisation and analytics, long-term information preservation and monitoring of the uptake of open science practices. It provides researchers, innovators, companies and citizens with a federated and open multi-disciplinary environment where they can publish, find and re-use data, tools and services for research, innovation and educational purposes. It is recognised by the Council of the European Union as pilot action to deepen the new European Research Area.

It operates under well-defined conditions to ensure trust and safeguard the public interest. EOSC Future enables a step change across scientific communities and research infrastructures towards seamless access FAIR data management (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability) and reliable reuse of research data and other digital objects produced along the research life cycle.
