 The Science|Business
Cloud Consultation Group

In April 2016, the European Commission announced a bold

new initiative to pull European science fully into the age of
the ‘cloud.’ Its €6.7 billion European Open Science Cloud plan
could change the future of research, cloud services and data
technologies in Europe - affecting strategies for companies,
universities and governments.

But how? To track this important initiative, Science|Business

is forming a platform for companies, universities and research
infrastructure. The group will meet regularly in private and
public to gain intelligence and facilitate dialogue in Brussels.
