On 10 October 2024, the European Commission hosted the technical launch of the EOSC EU Node in Brussels. It marked a significant milestone when the contractors formally delivered their managed services to the Commission acting as the service owner of the platform. The EOSC EU Node is the first reference implementation of a gateway designed to streamline access to scientific data, publications, software, and services. This digital platform enables researchers across Europe to collaborate more effectively and drive progress in Open Science.
The technical launch event provided a comprehensive overview of the main design concepts and unique features of the EOSC EU Node that will soon be open for public access. Participants were shown live demonstrations of the typical user journeys across the platform giving them insights into how it will support multi-disciplinary and multi-national research use cases across Europe.
A brand-new promotional video was also unveiled, offering a general overview of what the EOSC EU Node is and how it empowers users and contributors in the research landscape.
