Imagine if every library in Europe used a different catalog system and locked doors, making it impossible to find a specific book. This project builds a universal digital key and a shared map so researchers can find and use data from any center instantly. It turns a fragmented collection of digital silos into a single, connected network.
Research data is fragmented across different countries and disciplines, making it slow and expensive for companies to find and combine the information needed for innovation.
A federated architecture of autonomous Nodes and a suite of Core services including AAI, catalogues, and PID services. It includes software adapters to speed up the creation of scientific applications.
If you are a drug discovery firm dealing with fragmented health and life science data across different countries — this project developed a federated network of Nodes that allows you to find and access high-quality, reusable digital research resources. This speeds up the time it takes to move from a research idea to a usable product.
If you are a software provider dealing with disconnected environmental and food data — this project developed software adapters and an integration environment. This allows your applications to compose and access multiple Open Science resources as a single integrated capability.
If you are an analysis agency dealing with data trapped in different national infrastructures — this project developed a distributed network of autonomous Nodes. This enables you to run cross-node workflows and shared authentication to access diverse environmental datasets.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost structures are mentioned as the project focuses on Open Science and EU-funded infrastructure.
Yes, the project is designed for significant scale, aiming to enable millions of European researchers to benefit from the improved access to digital resources.
Based on available project data, the project promotes Open Science and FAIR data principles, though specific commercial licensing terms are not detailed.
The project uses software adapters and aligns its architecture to integrate with European dataspaces and a federated model of autonomous Nodes.
The project period runs from 2024-04-01 to 2027-03-31.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and public entities, with 18 research organizations and 9 universities. Industrial participation is low at 5% (2 industry partners), suggesting the primary value is in creating public digital infrastructure rather than a commercial product. However, the presence of 4 SMEs indicates some capacity for agile software development and commercial integration.
