By the end of 2017, the Commission will propose a legal instrument that provides a procurement framework for an integrated world-class high-performance computing infrastructure. This infrastructure is essential to support the European Open Science Cloud and will allow millions of researchers to share and analyze data in a trusted environment across technologies, disciplines and borders. The Commission has already made open research data the default option for projects funded under Horizon 2020. A roadmap for governance and funding will be presented to Member States in the autumn of 2017, based on the outcomes of the European Open Science Cloud Summit of 12 June. EuCheMS is represented at the Open Science Policy Platform, a group whose function is to advise the Commission on the further development and implementation of the open science policy.
