Out of the 10 proposals, one was submitted under the INFRAEOSC-03-2020 call, aiming to strengthen the EOSC Portal, increase access to composable and reliable services, attract new users and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Portal.  Nine proposals were submitted under INFRAEOSC-07-2020 call, aiming to increase the provision, through the EOSC Portal, of research enabling services from a wide range of national, regional and institutional public infrastructures in Europe. Indicatively, such services include distributed and cloud computing resources, data services, services supporting the interaction in heterogeneous distributed environments, services for scholarly communication, etc.

The new projects are expected to start by January 2021, after the evaluation in the coming months.
