The Director General of the ESRF, Jean Daillant, representing the 11 partners of the Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud (PaNOSC) , has signed the EOSC Federation  Memorandum of Understanding with the EOSC Association today, in presence of ILL representatives.
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Federation aims to create a seamless system where researchers across the continent can easily find, access, and use data and services to drive innovation. By linking hundreds of data repositories and tools, EOSC will make it simpler for scientists to find, share, analyze, and reuse FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) research outputs.
PaNOSC as the EOSC Node of the Photon and Neutron Open Science Cluster (PaNOSC), which includes all synchrotron and neutron sources in Europe, aims to connect the Photon and Neutron European research infrastructures to EOSC. Currently 11 Photon and Neutron Research Institutes have committed to providing data and services to the EOSC Federation through the PaNOSC EOSC Node – these are ESRF (as host institute), ALBA, DESY, ELETTRA, ESS, European XFEL, HZDR, ILL, MAX IV Laboratory, PSI, and SOLEIL.
