NOSCI Information

• Name: ‘Hellenic Open Science Initiative’ with the distinctive title ‘EPAE/HOSI’
• Description: Through the EOSC infrastructure, governments can offer to the research community of their country access to resources, tools and platforms that would be otherwise not available in the country and their setup would need to be supported by the country. Researchers and innovators will be able to jointly create innovative new technologies and services, which in turn will lead to the creation of new jobs and markets. EOSC is equally available to researchers in both the public and private sectors. Using the same platforms and infrastructures to run together experiments minimizes risks and time to market for products, which could ultimately yield major economic benefits. The EPAE/HOSI can be proven exceptionally useful in preparing all national stakeholders for their participation into the EOSC Ecosystem. First, by spreading awareness and communicating EOSC developments to national stakeholders and secondly, by coordinating national activities that enable interconnection with the EOSC at technical, policy and governance levels.
• The main HOSI objectives are:
  • • The official National participation in the EOSC activities and throughout the wide range of EOSC-relevant activities to maximize the potential benefit for the country.
    • Greece to be officially represented by a Mandated Organization thatcollectively represents the interdisciplinary Greek Research and Development Community.
