- Increase the discoverability of Nordic & Baltic services. Extend and expand their use by making them accessible through the EOSC portal.
- Promote and support the uptake of FAIR data practices and certification schemas across the Nordics.
- Accelerate the progress and attractiveness of EOSC by piloting & delivering innovative solutions developed and tested in a useful and functional cross-border environment.
- Provide a Knowledge Hub to deliver training and technical support to new service providers and communities willing to engage with EOSC during and after the project lifetime.
