EGI-ACE D2.10 EGI-ACE Final Recommendations

The EGI-ACE initiative (Jan 2021 - June 2023) has delivered notable impacts in Open Science, Research, Collaboration, Infrastructure Innovation, and Skills and Expertise, through a variety of services and strategic partnerships. This work has significantly influenced areas such as interdisciplinary research, cloud integration strategies, and capacity-building initiatives. In addition, the project provided substantial feedback to the EOSC Multi-Annual Roadmap (MAR) for 2025-2027, proposing to expand EOSC's influence, enhance its Interoperability Framework, and establish a federated infrastructure including also computing and analytics capabilities among other recommendations. To further enhance the functionality of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), strategic recommendations were outlined, such as facilitating seamless access to computing/analytics capabilities and thematic services, improving resource composability, and harmonising funding mechanisms. Overall, the project has taken strides to make EOSC an invaluable resource for the European and international research community.
