Hanseatic Science Cloud

The Hanseatic Science Cloud (HSC) is developing a prototype cloud platform for managing, processing, and analysing large, complex datasets generated by Research Infrastructures across the Öresund–Kattegat–Skagerrak (ÖKS)–Hamburg Region. Building on the expertise of HALRIC partners, HSC will also explore and evaluate potential interoperability with other European initiatives, such as the EOSC Node.

At HALRIC, we believe that innovation can accelerate significantly when computational resources and research datasets are accessible, regardless of where they are located. The HSC solution will be offered initially for use and testing within selected HALRIC pilot projects and researchers, demonstrating how it can enhance cross-border access to Research Infrastructures throughout the ÖKS–Hamburg Region.

The easy-to-use analysis resource with sustainable secure access to datasets

Leveraging the full innovation potential of the ÖKS-Hamburg area

• Uniform entry point.
• Easy cross-border access.
• Offering tools for the analysis of, access to, and collaboration on data.

The ambition is that the Hanseatic Science Cloud will

• Provide users with immediate access to produced data.
• Provide access to data wherever it was produced.
• Provide access to analysis tools with adequate computational power.

Ensures sustainability in several aspects

• Environmental – leveraging existing resources, minimizing travel.
• Equality – providing resource on the terms of the users.
• Inherent adherence to the FAIR-principles.
