The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is a vision of the European Commission to offer to 1.7 million European researchers and 70 million professionals in science and technology a virtual environment for free at the point of use, with open and seamless services for storage, management, analysis and re-use of research data, and across borders and scientific disciplines.

The EGI Foundation leads EOSC-hub, one of the biggest projects in the European Horizon-2020 research programme, to lay down the architecture and to establish the first EOSC services. OpenStack is playing a crucial role here, providing baseline compute and storage for research applications, datasets and virtual research environments. The system already federates 14 OpenStack sites. In this session we’ll describe the unique challenges of federating research clouds, as well as the operational practices and technical solutions that EOSC OpenStack providers developed to address the needs of science at the global scale.
