 A discussion forum for all five ESFRI cluster projects (namely ESCAPE), RDA Working and Interest Groups, and EOSC representatives on our journey to EOSC. Seats are limited, register here to join the event.

The event will focus on the technical, social and governance issues we all face. What can we learn from each other and take back to the data communities we serve?

Connecting to EOSC

• EOSC-life - creating EOSC for the life sciences 
• ESCAPE - astronomy & particle physics cluster
• PaNOSC - Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud 
• SSHOC - Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud 

ESCAPE is being represented by Marco Molinaro (INAF), who will present ESCAPE's Virtual Observatory: what it is and how it will connect to the EOSC?
