EOSC-Life

Providing an open collaborative space for digital biology in Europe

Funding programme: Horizon 2020 (N 824087)

Budget: €23.7M

Coordinator: ELIXIR Hub

Duration: 4 years (Mar 2019 - Feb 2023)

EOSC-Life brings together the 13 Biological and Medical ESFRI research infrastructures (BMS RIs) to create an open collaborative space for digital biology. By publishing data and tools in a Europe-wide cloud EOSC-Life aims to bring the capabilities of big science projects to the wider research community.

Federated user access (AAI) will allow transnational resource access and authorisation. EOSC-Life establishes a novel access model for the BMS RI: through EOSC scientists would gain direct access to FAIR data and tools in a cloud environment available throughout the European Research Area.
