Working towards a European open science cloud

Last week, CERN hosted an event to discuss ongoing efforts to develop a ‘European open science cloud’. The aim of this work is to bring public research organizations and e‐infrastructures together with commercial cloud-computing suppliers to build a common platform offering a range of services to Europe’s research communities.

A big cloud for big science

Helix Nebula - the Science Cloud is a new European collaboration to provide computing platforms to propel science. As a result, research should be faster and cheaper to perform, such as setting up an earthquake analysis system in a day instead of a month or simpler analysis of large genomes from mammals.
