Horizon Europe, under Horizon Europe: Excellence Science, and Research Infrastructures, invites applications for HORIZON-INFRA-2024-EOSC-01 - enabling an operational, open and fair EOSC ecosystem. This supports projects that aim to continue to develop the European Open Science Cloud in a more cohesive and structured manner so that it becomes a fully operational enabling ecosystem for the whole research data lifecycle. The budget is €61 million. Grants are worth up to €8m each.

Funding is available under the following topics: •HORIZON-INFRA-2024-EOSC-01-01 - FAIR and open data sharing in support of the mission adaptation to climate change; •HORIZON-INFRA-2024-EOSC-01-02 - supporting the EOSC Partnership in further consolidating the coordination and sustainability of the EOSC ecosystem; •HORIZON-INFRA-2024-EOSC-01-03 - enabling a network of EOSC federated and trustworthy repositories and enhancing the framework of generic and discipline specific services for data and other research digital objects; •HORIZON-INFRA-2024-EOSC-01-04 - long-term access and preservation infrastructure development for EOSC, including data quality aspects; •HORIZON-INFRA-2024-EOSC-01-05 - innovative and customizable services for EOSC exchange.

Depending on the topic, proposals must take the form of coordination and support actions or research and innovation actions. Coordination and support actions require one or more legal entities established in an EU member state, Horizon Europe associated country or, in exceptional cases, another third country. Research and innovation actions require participation by at least three legal entities; each established in a different EU member state or Horizon Europe associated country. Participants from selected LMICs are automatically eligible for funding. Participants from other countries may participate at their own cost. Applicants from the UK and Switzerland should check that funding under this call is covered by their national funding authority.
