The 13 ESFRI research infrastructures in the Health and Food domain in March 2019 started the EOSC-Life project to create an open collaborative digital space for life science in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
Life science research directly addresses key societal challenges and drives the bio-economy. To keep European Life Science at the forefront of global advances and to deepen our understanding of life and disease, the data, digital services and advanced facilities vital for life science research must be findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable (FAIR) across scientific disciplines and national boundaries. FAIR data and services improves reproducibility of biomedical research, drives new scientific discoveries and enables any researcher in Europe and across the world to access and use them.
In EOSC-Life the research infrastructures will publish data from facilities and data resources in the EOSC and link these FAIR databases to open and reusable tools and workflows accessible to users via Europe’s national and international life-science clouds. EOSC-Life will also connect users across Europe to a single login authentication and resource authorisation system and develop data policies needed to preserve and deepen the trust given by research participants and patients volunteering their data and samples.
EOSC-Life project is coordinated by ELIXIR, the ESFRI Research Infrastructure for biological data. The consortium of 13 Research Infrastructures cover all aspects of life science research and all life science domains.
