Europe’s Leading Public-Private Partnership for Cloud

The Helix Nebula Initiative is a partnership between industry, space and science to establish a dynamic ecosystem, benefiting from open cloud services for the seamless integration of science into a business environment. Today, the partnership counts over 40 public and private partners.

HNSciCloud moved to Pilot Phase: 2 consortia have been awarded Bologna, Italy

On the 6th of February 2018, the awards ceremony for the successful contractors moving to Pilot Phase of the Helix Nebula Science Cloud Pre-Commecial Procurement took place in Bologna, Italy. After the submission of their designs, 2 out of the 3 consortia were selected to build the pilots.

Congratulations to the two winning consortia!

 

Towards the European Open Science Cloud

CERN has recently published a paper which outlines the establishment of the European Open Science Cloud that will enable digital science by introducing IT as a Service to the public research sector in Europe.
On the 23rd of April 2015, Bob Jones, CERN & HNI Co-Coordinator, was invited by the European Commission to present the ‘European Open Science Cloud’ at the 3rd Digital European Research Area (ERA) Forum meeting. The concept of open science and a European open science cloud seems to be widely accepted, but how to implement it remains largely unknown and Helix Nebula and the European Science cloud are examples that can be used to define the future structure...
