EuroScienceGateway

Project Summary

In the past decade, many scientific domains have been transformed into data-driven disciplines relying on the exchange and integration of internationally distributed data. Exploiting this data is still a laborious and largely manual task, prone to losses and errors, and increasingly specialized beyond most users technical capabilities. FAIR practices are encouraged but their adoption curve is steep.


EuroScienceGateway will leverage a distributed computing network across 13 European countries, accessible via 6 national, user-friendly web portals, facilitating access to compute and storage infrastructures across Europe as well as to data, tools, workflows and services that can be customized to suit researchers' needs.

Objectives

Objective 1

Accessible e-Infrastructure resources for European scientists to enable pioneering data-driven research across scientific domains.

Objective 2

Support the varieties of analysis types and diverse usage patterns through efficient and smart job distribution to appropriate and sustainable infrastructures.

Objective 3

The application of FAIR principles to workflows and adoption of FAIR Digital Objects to stimulate reusable and reproducible research and enable the EOSC Interoperability Framework.

Objective 4

Adoption of the EuroScienceGateway by researchers in diverse scientific disciplines.

Expected Results

Pulsar Network

A mature and tested (TRL-9) distributed compute network with demonstrated usage across at least 12 European partners.

ScienceGateways

6 national Galaxy instances operational and proven by the scientific community with more than 100,000 users.

Communities

Science Gateway with a custom set of tools and workflows for the Biodiversity/Climate, Materials Science and Astrophysics community.

FAIR data

EOSC-catalogued FAIR data and workflows that can be found, consumed, created and published by users of the EuroScienceGateway, demonstrated for each of the 3 domain-specific use-cases.
