Deadline: 9-Mar-23
The European Commission (EC) is calling for proposals for Next Generation Services for Operational and Sustainable EOSC Core Infrastructure.
Scope
The EOSC-Core and EOSC-Exchange provide the technological backbone of the federated EOSC ecosystem, supported by the EOSC Interoperability Framework and guidelines, allowing users to discover, share, and exploit resources on the EOSC platform. Data-driven user experience is a fundamental aspect for further development of the EOSC Core, allowing user feedback for the continuous improvement of the EOSC platform’s functionality in an open manner.
Funding Information
The check will normally be done for the coordinator if the requested grant amount is equal to or greater than EUR 500 000, except for:
- public bodies (entities established as a public body under national law, including local, regional or national authorities) or international organisations; and
- cases where the individual requested grant amount is not more than EUR 60 000 (lowvalue grant).
Expected Outcomes
Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:
- Next generation of enabling infrastructure and services for EOSC Core, beyond the current Minimum Viable EOSC platform.
- Enhanced design of the EOSC Core functionalities, including resource registry and catalogues, data and service management system, publishing workflow, persistent identifiers, AAI federation, order management, configuration management, monitoring, accounting and helpdesk, and taking into account the need of the data-driven scientific use cases and multi-disciplinary research projects.
- Advanced integration and composability of data sources, software tools, research outcomes and other assets within the EOSC execution framework that is enabled and supported by the next-generation of EOSC Core infrastructure.
- Sustainable service incubation and technology testbed infrastructure for developing and testing the next generation of the EOSC Core functionalities integrated and staged into the operational EOSC Core platform in production.
Eligibility Criteria
- To become a beneficiary, legal entities must be eligible for funding.
-
To be eligible for funding, applicants must be established in one of the following countries:
- the Member States of the European Union, including their outermost regions,
- the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) linked to the Member States,
