Are you a researcher looking for simpler, faster, and more collaborative ways to work with data and digital tools and services? The EOSC EU Node, the first European-level node of the EOSC Federation, is a European platform and information gateway to explore, engage, and enrich your research collaborations.
Whether you’re analysing climate data, developing new models, or running simulations with peers across borders, the EOSC EU Node is designed to support every stage of your research workflow. It is your gateway to Open Science.
Simple access, powerful services
The EOSC EU Node is your one-stop shop to discover, use, build, and share your data-driven and open research. Getting started is easy; simply log in with your institutional credentials, no new accounts or complicated sign-ups. Once inside, you will be assigned an access level based on your affiliation within your organisation and receive a certain amount of virtual credits, provided to you by the European Commission, based on this status. These credits act like a wallet, giving you access to services such as:
- File Sync & Share Your personal cloud storage for collaborative research
- Interactive Notebooks A shared space for coding and analysis
- Large File Transfer Fast and secure file transfers
- Virtual Machines Scalable cloud computing for reliable and reproducible results
- Cloud Container Platforms Simplified Kubernetes for scalable research
- Bulk Data Transfer Smooth high-volume data transfers
Your credits are automatically replenished every 90 days, and a personal dashboard helps you monitor usage and manage your resources.
Designed for collaboration
Modern research thrives on collaboration, often across disciplines and borders. The EOSC EU Node provides a collaborative environment built on FAIR principles, with Open Science at its core. It supports complex, multinational research workflows and offers integrated computing and storage to meet your data needs.
Via the platform, you can:
- Launch group projects and invite colleagues across Europe.
- Share and reuse high-quality datasets securely.
- Deploy analysis and visualisation tools in just a few clicks.
And because it runs in a European-hosted, GDPR-compliant environment, you can be confident that your data is protected.
By engaging with the Node, researchers gain:
- Trust Work within a compliant, sovereign, and secure cloud-based environment that is designed and operated in compliance with EU GDPR.
- Visibility Connect and collaborate with a Europe-wide research community.
- Support Access helpdesk services, onboarding guides, and training resources.
- Impact Drive forward Open Science and contribute to more transparent, accessible, and reproducible research.
- Collaboration Connect with a Europe-wide network of peers and interoperable tools.
