Connecting ESFRI Infrastructures through Cluster Projects

SSHOC is one of the activities foreseen under INFRAEOSC 04-2018, which supports the integration and consolidation of thematic e-infrastructure platforms in preparation for connecting them to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

 

The vision of the EOSC is to provide seamless, Europe-wide access to research data and tools across scientific or thematic disciplines and geographical borders. In consolidating the resources available within a particular scientific discipline, each thematic cluster project thus adheres to both FAIR principles and the principles of Open Science.

What will SSHOC do for EOSC?

SSHOC will provide the social sciences, humanities, and heritage science contribution to the EOSC by:

  • Interconnecting existing and new infrastructures to build the SSH Cloud
  • Maximising data reuse through Open Science and FAIR principles
  • Providing training resources, a training network, and training activities
  • Setting up an appropriate governance model
