EOSC: European Open Science

The role of the National Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics (IN2P3), one of the CNRS institutes that has long faced analyzing large amounts of data, has been critical in advancing the storage, management and data processing that are at the heart of the EOSC process. via Especially her collaboration withEuropean Network Infrastructure (EGI). Several French infrastructures, for which the CNRS is responsible, participate in the structuring of the EOSC, conceived as a group of unified infrastructures. These, such as France-Grilles, CC-IN2P3, OpenEdition, Data-Terra or Direct Scientific Communication Center, have developed services and resources available at EOSC.

Today there are more than 1,200 CNRS resources (databases, search results, etc.) in the EOSC catalog. Interoperable services address the entire lifecycle of data, from discovery to storage, analysis, deployment, visualization, and reuse. Hosting these services and resources also requires IT infrastructure and systems. CNRS also contributes to thinking about architecture, interoperability between services, metadata standards, etc.

Finally, the organization works in close collaboration with other institutions of higher education and research (ESR) that are members or observers of the EOSC association, in order to identify the needs of the French research communities with regard to computing infrastructure, data management or visualization. . Objective: To encourage the creation of a “French EOSC” for “ Make search more intuitive and innovative “.
