EOSC DIH Tender

core/freeform

<p>EGI endorses the principles of the <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/pdf/eosc_declaration.pdf#view=fit&amp;pagemode=none" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">EOSC Declaration</a> and advocates the <a href="https://www.egi.eu/about/newsletters/what-is-the-european-open-science-cloud/">European Open Science Cloud</a> to be the initiative addressing the needs of open access, sharing within and across research communities, ensuring sustained funding to digital research infrastructures.</p>
<p>We advocate the scope of EOSC to be as broad as possible to include <a href="https://www.egi.eu/about/newsletters/what-is-fair/">FAIR</a> advanced digital services, scientific instruments, data, software, knowledge and expertise that enables researchers to collaborate more easily and be more productive.</p>
<h4>EGI actions</h4>
<p>EGI commits to the following actions that altogether contribute to the implementation of the European Open Science Cloud:</p>
<h5>Governance and funding</h5>
<ul>
<li>Support the definition, implementation and operation of the governing structure benefiting from its long-standing experience with more than <a href="https://www.egi.eu/federation/data-centres/">300 data centres</a> in 50 countries.</li>
<li>Contribute its best practices and experience to the definition of the EOSC “rules of engagement”, i.e. the policies for the EOSC actors (e.g. end-users, customers and providers) leveraging for the lightweight federation of services capabilities ensuring interoperability among multiple suppliers at worldwide scale.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Data culture and FAIR data</h5>
<ul>
<li>Provide and improve implementation guidelines for FAIR services in the area of advanced compute, federated identity provisioning, authentication and authorization, and contribute to the definition of the EOSC minimum set of reference standards and interoperation agreements and service accreditation models for EOSC.</li>
<li>Develop the skills and certification schemes necessary to become users or operators of digital research infrastructures and EOSC through a network of community-lead competence centres involving multiple research communities, technology experts and service providers.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Research data services and architecture</h5>
<ul>
<li>Operate the <a href="https://www.egi.eu/about/newsletters/introducing-the-eosc-hub-project/">EOSC Hub</a>, the Service Integration and Management system (SIAM) accountable for ensuring that all EOSC service providers perform to provide a seamless service that is compliant to contractual obligations made with customer organizations. Activities include: communicate and manage alignment of services to defined policies and standards, define and maintain service level agreements, conduct service audits and quality assurance reviews, manage end-to-end service level management performance retaining overall accountability, provide the tools for aggregating demand and supply, make services and research artefacts discoverable and accessible at European level etc.</li>
<li>Operate an open hybrid e-infrastructure offering data-driven advanced compute &#8211; <a href="https://www.egi.eu/services/cloud-compute/">Cloud Compute</a> and <a href="https://www.egi.eu/services/high-throughput-compute/">High-Throughput Compute</a> &#8211; and data services from publicly funded and commercial organisations and maintain and evolve the related implementation guidelines to make the related services FAIR.</li>
<li>Operate a federated identity provisioning, authentication and authorization services for the EOSC users and service providers.</li>
</ul>
