One of EOSC's main goals is to create an open digital research environment that will make it easier for researchers to access data repositories, cloud services and advanced analytical tools.
The idea is realized by creating a coordinated network of European and national research infrastructures. Since March 2025, the Polish national node – the EOSC PL Node – along with 12 other nodes from across Europe, has participated in the process of co-creating the principles and mechanisms of the EOSC Federation, which promotes open science, collaboration and seamless access to FAIR data, services and tools.
EOSC-PL supports the EOSC Federation’s mission by integrating high-value, country-based resources, such as research data stored at trustworthy repositories, computing services, high-level, domain-specific data processing services and other technical infrastructures, into the federation while ensuring compliance with FAIR and CARE principles. Through single sign-on authentication and authorization (AAI), open science interoperability, and federated access management, EOSC-PL facilitates seamless cross-border collaboration and efficient resource utilization for researchers.
EOSC-PL will also contribute to the EOSC interoperability framework, access management, service monitoring, and standards development. By promoting inclusivity, interoperability, and open science, EOSC-PL is committed to building a sustainable, federated research environment that strengthens Poland’s role within EOSC and broader European collaboration.
