PSNC has signed the EOSC DIH MoU

The EOSC DIH is one of the key exploitable results of the EOSC-hub project, it has been initiated in 2019 and supported so far 18 pilots. It is coordinated by EGI.eu, with PSNC as deputy coordinator and the leader of the Business Pilots Support. Other partners involved are CINECA, F6S, UCL.

The purpose of this MoU is to create a framework for long-term cooperation between the Partners regarding the establishment, governance and operation of the EOSC DIH, after the EOSC-hub project.
The EOSC DIH provides a clear interface for commercial innovation that can be supported by European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) as part of the broader European Digital Innovation Hub landscape (such as free access trials). It is a multi-dimensional mechanism that allows research e-Infrastructures to support business organisations to stimulate innovation, as well as helping start-ups, SMEs, and other innovative actors to tap into the academic world both in accessing knowledge as well as technical services. The final goal of the EOSC DIH is to create a one-stop-shop that brings IT services, research data, technology and expertise into a single place to support innovation in the industry to become more competitive.
EOSC DIH offers several public-private collaboration models focused around:
• piloting and co-design of new services (proof-of-concept work, performance testing, etc.),
• technical access to different “as a Service” resources (HPC/HTC/Cloud computing, storage, data management and higher-level services),
• training and support (Technical consultancy, service management, commercialisation) and visibility, using the DIH as a networking tool to expand beyond local markets.

EOSC DIH is currently supported by the EOSC-Future project.
