EOSC Blue Cloud

Blue-Cloud 2026 combines EOSC and marine research communities, facilitating access to diverse datasets and analytical services, contributing to the development of a federated European ecosystem, delivering FAIR & Open data and analytical services for in-depth research on the ocean, seas, and inland waters. It offers tools like Data Discovery & Access Service, Virtual Research Environment, Thematic Virtual Labs, and Essential Ocean Variables Workbenches. Blue-Cloud 2026 is enhancing core services, integrating analytical tools, and collaborating with key stakeholders, supporting the EU Green Deal and promoting healthy aquatic ecosystems. Coordinated by CNR, Trust-IT Services and MARIS, the project involves a committed team of 40 partners from 13 EU countries.

IntelComp

Public administrations in all countries and science, technology and innovation (STI) stakeholders produce a vast amount of dynamic, multilingual and heterogeneous data. Understanding and analysing these data is instrumental to evidence-based policymaking. The EU-funded IntelComp project will establish an innovative cloud platform to assist public administrators and policymakers in the STI domain with AI-based services. IntelComp will engage multidisciplinary groups to co-develop innovative analytics services, natural language processing pipelines and AI workflows and to exploit open data, services and computational resources from the European Open Science Cloud and high-performance computing environments as well as federated distributed operations. The project will adopt living lab methodologies and involve public and private stakeholders to explore and assess STI policies.

FAIR-Impact

FAIR-IMPACT Expanding FAIR solutions across EOSC

With the ambitious goal to realise an EOSC of FAIR data and services, the FAIR-IMPACT project supports the implementation of FAIR principles across scientific communities at European, national and institutional level through a matrix of coordination, engagement and support activities.

The project identifies practices, policies, tools and technical specifications to guide researchers, repository managers, research performing organisations, policy makers and citizen scientists towards a FAIR data management cycle. The focus is on persistent identifiers (PIDs), metadata, ontologies, metrics, certification and interoperability, starting with real-life use cases on social sciences and humanities, the photon and neutron sciences, life sciences and agri-food and environmental sciences.

FAIR-IMPACT is providing a support programme offering set of support actions that will help applicants from Research Performing Organisations, Data service providers and Repositories, and national level initiatives, learn how to use specific tools/methods/approaches which will help them start (or continue) their journey to becoming more FAIR-enabling.

In order to maximise collaboration with the EOSC and FAIR ecosystems, FAIR-IMPACT deploys three main coordination mechanisms: a Technical Bridging TeamFAIR Implementation Team and Synchronisation Force, and sets up a group of  EOSC FAIR Champions that will act as ambassadors for FAIR, engage their communities, and advocate for adoption of the project results.

FAIR-IMPACT “Expanding FAIR solutions across EOSC” is funded by the European Commission Horizon Europe programme. It is coordinated by DANS and supported by 27 additional partners from 11 countries.
