The EOSC Symposium 2026, the flagship annual event of EOSC, brings together researchers, policymakers, research and funding organisations, infrastructures, service providers and data experts from across Europe to explore the latest developments shaping EOSC. Under this year’s theme, “Connecting Users, Data, and Services,” the Symposium offers three days of discussions, presentations and networking, showcasing the value EOSC brings to Europe’s research and innovation landscape.
A new phase for EOSC
This year’s Symposium also celebrates a landmark moment: the EOSC Federation has officially entered production, opening a new growth phase for European science. As more nodes, services and data join the Federation, trustworthy repositories play an essential role in keeping research data reliable, well described and preserved for the long term.
