Objectives / Mission
Implement and operate the EOSC service access/delivery channels,
aggregating demand from researchers/innovators and other user communities
and services from local/national/regional service providers, through the EOSC-
hub
Define the rules of engagement of the EOSC-hub, in collaboration with
EOSCpilot, and a service procurement framework
Operate/integrate/advance an initial set of services of the EOSC
Baseline and specialized compute/data services -
EGI/EUDAT CDI
Thematic services – RIs and research communities
Collaborative services – sharing of software, applications
and other research objects – EGI/EUDAT (CDI) partners
Federation services – to enable cross-border access and
service delivery
EOSC-hub in numbers
Duration: 36 months
Start date: 1 Jan 2018
End date: 31 Dec 2020
Tot. funding: 30 Million
# partners: 74

• Scenario 1: EOSC-Hub as a shared hub jointly owned
by e-Infras and RIs
EOSC-Hub strategic
positionning (possible futures)
• Main channel to access
services - coming from both
e-Infrastructures and
research infrastructures.
• Requires strong engagement
& agreement with other EOSC
pillars (OpenAIRE Advance,
ESFRI clusters, etc.)

9. 9
• Scenario 2: EOSC-hub as the entry point for e-
Infrastructure services
EOSC-Hub strategic
positionning (possible futures)
• One stop shop for e-Infra
services used to e.g. to scale
out computing or storage
environments
• Agreement with other EOSC
pillars about common service
management rules (common
platform)

10. * Implementation Roadmap for the European Open Science Cloud (SWD(2018)83)
Current situation: 6 lines of action of the EOSC model *
FAIR data management and tools. A common data language to ensure data
stewardship across borders/disciplines based on FAIR principles.
b. Data
Rules of participation for different EOSC actors. An opportunity to comply with
existing legal and technical frameworks and increase legal certainty & trust.
e. Rules
Architecture of the federated infrastructures as the solution to the current
fragmentation in research data infrastructures which are insufficiently
interoperable.
a. Architecture
Governance of the EOSC, aiming at ensuring EU leadership in data-driven
science but requiring new governance frameworks.
Mechanisms/interfaces for accessing EOSC. A simple way for dealing with open
data obligations or accessing research data across different disciplines.
d. Access &
Interface
Available services from a user perspective. A rich environment offering a wide
range of services covering the needs of the users.

f. Governance

11. Governance
11
Three layer structure as per
Horizon 2020 WP 2018-2020
 EOSC Board of MS/AC and
EC representatives to ensure
effective supervision of EOSC
implementation
 Executive Board of
stakeholder representatives to help
ensure proper EOSC
implementation and accountability
 Stakeholder Forum to provide
input from a wide range of actors
Further orientations for the set-up and composition of the Governance framework, to inform the
consultation of MS without prejudging possible future decisions by the Council and the Commission
