EOSC Future

EOSC Future is an EU-funded H2020 project that builds on the existing baseline for the European Open Science Cloud to deliver a platform with a durable set of user-friendly components that are designed for the long haul. This project adopts a system-of-systems approach to the platform, linking together other research portals, resources and services to respond to the data needs of a wide range of researchers.

Within EOSC Future, Euro-BioImaging will work together with EU-Openscreen ERIC, a research infrastructure for chemical screening and Instruct ERIC, a research infrastructure for structural biology, to implement an EOSC Future Test Science Project on “Open Imaging Data Sharing in EOSC: COVID-19 as Demonstrator”. The proposed work includes facilitating rapid sharing of Covid-19 related High-throughput microscopy data through a modular, shareable, open, and FAIR workflow. The demonstrator project foresees developments with Galaxy for submitting data to the BioImage Archive and will involve working together with the OME team on data formats. The work accomplished in EOSC Future will greatly facilitate integration and sharing of large-scale FAIR image data sets via EOSC across disciplines within the life sciences and beyond, thereby enabling and stimulating collaborative image-based science.
