Context
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is an initiative of the European Commission aiming at creating a trusted environment for hosting and processing research data to support EU science.
In the spring of 2018, the Commission presented a roadmap as a contribution to the discussion for the development of the EOSC. Ministers also expressed their support for the EOSC in Council conclusions. Results of the stakeholder consultations will be presented at the Austrian Presidency Event Launch of the EOSC Governance Structure, in November 2018.
