NI4OS General info
National Initiatives for Open Science in Europe – NI4OS- Europe, aims to be a core contributor to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). Open science plays an important role in scientific research. Open Cloud offers a wide range of services including computing, data management and storage. EOSC is a trustworthy digital platform that provides scientists with continuous access to the entire research data cycle at the European level. NI4OS intends to support the development of national Open Science Cloud schemes in 15 EU Member States and associated countries. It will design, analyse and categorise the national Open Science environment in these countries to create national OSC structures to support general EOSC governance.

- Project number: 857645
- Call identifier: H2020-INFRAEOSC-2018-3
- Project start date: 1st September, 2019
- Project period: 3,5 years
- Project budget: 5.992.475 EUR
- Kick-off date: 8-10 October, 2019

Objectives
1. Mission and vision of the project are to be a core contributor to European Open Science Cloud service portfolio, commit to EOSC governance and ensure inclusiveness on the European level.
2. Spread the EOSC and FAIR principles in the community and train it, and provide technical and policy support in on-boarding of the existing and future service providers into EOSC, including generic services.
3. The overall approach is that the national Open Science landscape in all countries will be mapped, analysed and systematized so as to facilitate both the creation of national OSC initiatives to support the overall EOSC governance, and to engage all stakeholders.
4. A set of providers (generic e-Infrastructure providers, thematic providers, repositories) will be on-boarded into EOSC - following the best practices, policies, guidelines and tools formulated by the project, in alignment with the existing EOSC initiatives and standards.

Pre-production environment
Resource portfolio management tool
NI4OS RPMT implements EOSC Profiles v3.0 and it has an extensive API available at https://agora.ni4os.eu/api/v2. It is tightly integrated with NI4OS-Europe AAI and to get access one needs to log in and then send a request to be given the appropriate rights as a Provide Admin or a Resource admin. More info on how to add resources in agora can be found at

Helpdesk
The NI4OS-Europe helpdesk is the main tool of the project's support system. All stakeholders within the project use the helpdesk: resource users, resource owners, and project management. It supports ticket management, including ticket creation, assignment/reassignment to the appropriate unit, escalation, closing, searching, etc. The helpdesk classifies tickets per support unit and notifies relevant actors about ticket changes. The helpdesk is based on OTRS technology and can be easly integrated with external resources.
Please use the helpdesk submission form to create a ticket within the NI4OS-Europe helpdesk. Using "resource type" and "resource" fields, one can specify to which resource the question or problem is related. Otherwise, if not sure, our first-line support team will identify the relevant support unit.
