Full title in the source: Supporting the long-term resilience and European sovereignty of critical research data and knowledge repositories and scientific services for the life sciences

Opens 9 Mar 2027

The EU's Horizon Europe programme expects to make 1 award of €8 million, from a total budget of €8 million. Applications close on 15 Jun 2027 (EU calls usually close at 17:00 Brussels time). Organisations in EU member states and Horizon Europe associated countries such as Türkiye can usually take part; the topic conditions control.

Expected outcome

Proposals are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:

• Increased resilience and sovereignty of critical European research data and knowledge repositories and scientific services used in the life sciences [1] , including in particular biomedical and biomolecular related disciplines.

• Further integration of trusted, FAIR data [2] and research infrastructures in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) [3] Federation.

• Increased European leadership and contribution to international collaboration frameworks supporting data infrastructures.

Scope

Europe is home to some of the world’s key research data repositories, scientific services and facilities that are indispensable for the life sciences.

Despite their crucial role in advancing the life sciences in Europe, such infrastructures are often vulnerable to risks that can critically impair their sustainable operation and serving of the community, such as overdependence on precarious funding streams, overreliance on a too limited number of experts or organisations for the operation and further development of technical components or features that could otherwise benefit from more distributed solutions and appropriate safety nets against ‘single points of failure’.

EOSC is the Common European Data Space for research, a flagship initiative to transform Europe’s landscape of research data and knowledge repositories and scientific services towards a more coherent and harmonised common space of high-quality, FAIR research data, knowledge and interoperable services. It aims to benefit research infrastructures by increased economies of scale, higher efficiencies and sharing of resources and costs, and to benefit researchers by facilitating access to quality services and enabling research data and knowledge sharing and reuse within and across disciplines and borders in Europe.
