Impact

"We continuously innovate our services and technology to meet the needs of researchers worldwide."

– Tiziana Ferrari / Director of EGI Foundation

The impact of the EGI Federation is broad and diverse. We support all kinds of research. Examples include finding new tools to diagnose and monitor diseases such as Alzheimer’s, developing complex simulations to model climate change, searching for gravitational waves, and pursuing the dark matter.

We continuously innovate our services and technology, foster international collaborations and knowledge sharing, and finally, create opportunities for professional development and acquiring know-how.

Enabling research, improving process and capabilities

EGI aims to support the implementation of the digital European Research Area (ERA), to contribute to the development of the data economy and the related connected digital single market in Europe, and ultimately to contribute to the development of an Open Science Commons.

How

We are here to find the best solutions. EGI offers high-quality, tailored consultation and technology services for the demanding needs of every research community and sector.

We strive to deliver the best possible services. We regularly review the satisfaction of our users and constantly innovate and evolve our service offering to meet the needs of all the user communities.

We help to shape the future. EGI advises policymakers and funders on the main trends and needs in science and technology and provides recommendations on the future directions. We strongly promote the vision for the Open Science Commons.

We care about the future. EGI works towards long term, sustainable funding for operating EGI core services. At the same time, we raise funds for innovation, explore different business models while improving discoverability and reuse of services and solutions.

EGI and EOSC

EGI Supports a Web of FAIR Data and Services for Science in Europe

European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is an environment for hosting and processing research data to support EU science.

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative will offer researchers a virtual environment with open and seamless services for storage, management, analysis and re-use of research data, across borders and scientific disciplines by federating existing data infrastructures. EOSC is being co-created in a series of funded projects and initiatives from member states and associated countries. The services and expertise of the EGI Federation are being recognised as key assets for the EOSC, especially for the Federating Core.
