For science to achieve this, the perfect conditions are required and the EOSC is a key element of these conditions. The EOSC represents a unique opportunity for Europe to ensure services and data for scientists are of a high quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vision of EOSC was conceived in 2015, and was officially launched in November 2018, with access to initial services via the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eosc-portal.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>EOSC Portal<\/strong><\/a>. The EC provides financial support to implement the EOSC by means of projects under the EU Framework Program for Research and Innovation (Horizon 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EOSC aims to become Europe\u2019s trusted virtual environment for 1.7 million European researchers and 70 million professionals in science, technology, the humanities and social sciences to store, manage, analyze and re-use data for research, innovation and educational purposes, as well as to support EU science in its global leading role. As its vision says: \u201cto give Europe a global lead in scientific data infrastructures and to ensure that European scientists reap the full benefits of data-driven science.\u201d<br>The initiative reinforces Open Science, Open Innovation and Open to the world policies. It will&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>foster best practices of global data findability and accessibility;<\/li><li>help researchers get their data skills recognized and rewarded;&nbsp;<\/li><li>help address issues of access and copyright and data subject privacy;&nbsp;<\/li><li>allow easier replicability of results and limit data wastage;&nbsp;<\/li><li>contribute to clarification of the funding model for data generation and preservation, reducing rent-seeking and priming the market for innovative research services.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These concepts promote the idea of opening up European research and innovation systems to move towards a reality where knowledge is created through global collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EOSC will take advantage of the contribution of many projects (including&nbsp; <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rd-alliance.org\/rda-europe\" target=\"_blank\">RDA Europe<\/a><\/strong> , &nbsp;<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/eosc-hub.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\">EOSC-Hub<\/a><\/strong> , &nbsp;<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.openaire.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\">OpenAIRE<\/a><\/strong> ,<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.einfracentral.eu\/home\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>eInfraCentral<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong> and <strong>&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/eoscpilot.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\">EOSCpilot<\/a><\/strong> ) and discussion groups; each likely to generate its own recommendations or preferences. It will not replace existing infrastructures, but rely on them and allow users to work in multiple ecosystems owing to the interoperability of EOSC systems.

It will be open to countries outside the EU as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EOSC is managed by the 12-member&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eoscsecretariat.eu\/eosc-governance\/eosc-executive-board\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Executive Board<\/strong><\/a>, a body of representatives from the research and e-infrastructures communities, appointed by the EC.
