The CDIF4EOSC project, coordinated by CODATA, started on 1 June 2026!

The distinct approach of the CDIF4EOSC project (CDIF4EOSC: Developing and implementing the Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework for EOSC) is to build on the Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework (CDIF). The project will extend the CDIF recommendations, adding profiles and guidelines, and use case based examples, to form a comprehensive and actionable playbook for FAIR Integration in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and beyond.
