In December 2019, members of the Science|Business Network's Cloud Consultation Group and invited guests met to discuss how to connect the new European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) with similar initiatives elsewhere in the world. This report is based partly on those discussions, but is ultimately a product of Science|Business. The views expressed herein do not necessarily reflect those of
individual members.
This report is the ninth in a series that the group is working on, to gather private and public sector expertise on topics of importance to the development of the European Open Science Cloud. The other reports are available on www.sciencebusiness.net:
