The official launch of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) took place last 23 November 2018 in Vienna. The realisation of the EOSC is an integral part of the broader Digital Single Market strategy that was announced in 2015. LifeWatch ERIC as a relevant collaborator and service provider via the EOSC-hub marketplace, was present in the dedicated session of the event for introducing the EOSC portal.
