Shaping the EOSC Landscape: Helmholtz Contributions and Future Horizons

Background

The Helmholtz Office Brussels and the Helmholtz Open Science Office regularly host online meetings to provide updates on EOSC-related activities within the Association. The next forum will take place on March 13, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. CET. This event marks a significant milestone in Helmholtz’s engagement with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), as the 2024–2026 Task Force cycle comes to a close. 

We will showcase their impact and progress to date. Building on these results, the forum will pivot toward the future: we will provide updates on new EOSC projects, and receive a first-hand report on the recently concluded EOSC-A membership consultations, highlighting Helmholtz’s specific contributions and strategic reflections on the post-2027 landscape. Furthermore, we will explore the implementation of the EOSC Node | Germany. The session will conclude with an open discussion to align Helmholtz’s internal progress with the rapidly evolving European landscape.
