Abstract

Cloud and Earth Observation (EO) services offer the European Research community a wealth of powerful tools. However, for many researchers it is difficult to find and select suitable cloud and EO services. Establishing agreements and ensuring legal and technical compliance requires specialist skills and takes an inordinate amount of time. Equally, service providers find it difficult to reach and meet the needs of the research community in technical, financial, and legal areas. OCRE is establishing framework agreements with service providers who meet the requirements of the research community. European research and education institutes will be able to directly consume these offerings via the European Open Science Cloud service catalogue, through ready-to-use agreements. In addition, to stimulate usage, OCRE is making available 9.5 million euro through adoption funds from the European Commission. OCRE is a pioneer with the objective to burst the usage of EO commercial services by the research environment.
