The Vivus Study

Ensuring that EOSC-Core & Minimum Viable EOSC are sustainable through a study on their costings, potential business models and funding schemes

The Vivus Study was initially commissioned to examine EOSC components in relation to the mapping between EOSC Core Services and the technical e-infrastructure services that would deliver them and to explore business models that would support EOSC Core.

The scope of the study then grew to include MVE, service pricing and funding sources. The method employed mixed stakeholder interviews and desk research to model various aspects of EOSC Core and MVE. Four reports were produced, of which, this is the final report.
