Last month a multinational scientific buyer group led by CERN \u2013 home of the Large Hadron Collider \u2013 launched the design phase of ARCHIVER<\/a>. This three-year, \u20ac4.8m project, funded from the European Union\u2019s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, will radically improve the archiving and digital preservation of petabyte-scale data-intensive research. Covering the full research lifecycle, ARCHIVER embraces such issues as extreme data-scaling, network connectivity, service interoperability, and business models, all in a hybrid cloud environment. The multidisciplinary project will produce a range of archiving solutions, to be made available through the European Open Science Cloud<\/a> (EOSC) and beyond.<\/p>\n The European Open Science Cloud is conceived as a trusted, virtual, federated environment to store, share and re-use research data across borders and scientific disciplines. As an interoperable data common that ensures data are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR), it will enable researchers to find, share, and reuse publications, data, and software. The EOSC\u2019s aims are to engender new insights and innovations, higher productivity in research, and improved reproducibility in science. Ultimately, by giving scientists and other experts ready access to reliable data, its declared intention is to benefit mankind.<\/p>\n
