The vision of EOSC is to establish a Europe-wide system that enables easy access to data and services for research and innovation. The aim is to support researchers in storing, exchanging, processing, analysing and reusing FAIR research results across disciplines and borders.

The deployment of a network between data repositories and services will be instrumental for Open Science to progress in Europe. The EOSC Federation of nodes is being developed and overseen by the EOSC Association, opens an external URL in a new window to achieve this goal.
