Hanseatic Science Cloud

The Hanseatic Science Cloud (HSC) is developing a prototype cloud solution for the management, handling, and analysis of large and complex data sets from Research Infrastructures in the Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak (ÖKS)-Hamburg Region. It builds on the expertise from HALRIC partners, while also ensuring interoperability with other European initiatives, such as PaNOSC, Elixir and EOSC.

In HALRIC, we are convinced that the pace of innovation can increase significantly by making compute resources and acquired datasets available, regardless of their locations. The HSC solution will first be made available for use and testing in HALRIC pilot projects, which will contribute to improving cross-border accessibility of the Research Infrastructures in the ÖKS-Hamburg Region.
