Empowering Environmental Research Through the EOSC EU Node: FAIR Data and Scalable Services

The EOSC EU Node is a key enabler of multidisciplinary and multinational research, promoting the use of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data principles. As the first European-level node of the EOSC Federation, the platform provides researchers with secure access to interoperable data, computational resources, and managed services tailored for complex research workflows.

This presentation will highlight  environmental and climate science success stories of researchers leveraging EOSC EU Node services and demonstrate the potential of the platform to address challenges in data access, integration, and reuse. Examples include the use of Interactive Notebooks for data visualisation and analysis, and File Sync and Share for secure, collaborative data management across global teams. These use cases demonstrate how the EOSC EU Node fosters seamless integration of data and services, accelerates knowledge sharing, and supports reproducible research.

By bridging thematic and regional infrastructures, the EOSC EU Node is empowering researchers to tackle pressing global challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and disaster risk reduction. The presentation will showcase the platform’s role in driving collaboration, innovation, and impactful research outcomes in the era of open science.
