The EOSC would connect these island platforms using a single interface with common software and protocols.
For the EOSC project, the GPDR means it will have to address just one piece of legislation, rather 27 individual data-handling regimes.
A joint position paper was presented by State Secretaries Georg Schtte (Germany) and Sander Dekker (the Netherlands) in May 2017, confirming their intention to move ahead with the development of the EOSC and proposing to support GO FAIR.
The EOSC is an important building block for the future of the European science system in the digital age.
