World-leading research institutes have agreed to join forces with funding agencies and policy makers to create the European Open Science Cloud, the largest shared data repository in history.

The idea is to give every scientific user access to the data resulting from research carried out with public funding, using a single login.

Vice-versa, this shared repository will provide researchers involved in publically funded research projects with a suitable data base to share their research data as required by the funding agencies.
