Seismological data centers in Europe have probably one of the most mature and reliable open data provisioning services, which had been in production for many years. However, there was a lack of a modern and scalable AAI solution. The challenge was to design and implement an operational, scalable, federated AAI service that was able to interoperate with community services and that was compliant with state-of-the-art technologies.

Since its beginnings in 2018, EOSC-hub has aimed to create a hub of service providers to accelerate data-driven research in Europe - the Hub. It has succeeded and its results have provided input to the practical implementation aspects of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). In this final issue of the EOSC-hub Magazine, we take a look at EOSC-hub’s lasting legacy - its Nine Key Exploitable Results (KERs).

Thematics services are a fundamental part of the EOSC realisation as together with the core services they provide tools and applications that can be used by scientific communities to support their research workflow.

Check out these several practical examples of the Competence Centres’ work and their achievements during the lifetime of EOSC-hub. 

EOSC-Hub’s main focus is to contribute to a single vision: EOSC as the shared space for research and innovation in Europe

EOSC Providers, users and other interested stakeholders can expect to see some changes to the EOSC Portal with the combined efforts of EOSC-hub, OpenAIRE Advance and the newly-launched EOSC Enhance project.

Talking about impact in the context of the novel COVID-19 research is, unfortunately, still inconceivable in terms of finding a vaccine or any other solution to eliminate the virus as such. That is not to say that there isn’t any progress being made, by tons of researchers, many of them benefiting from Open Science initiatives.

We talk with Diego Scardaci about the EOSC Early Adopter Programme - an EOSC-hub initiative aiming at bringing together researchers and providers to accelerate science
