Taken together, the collaboration and community-building aspects of the wide variety of technical developments, consultations, forums and other project events and activities form the EOSC Future Community. Activities focused on the importance of community formation for the development of EOSC.

With this KER, the EOSC Future project focused on the importance of community formation for the development of EOSC as well as the value generated by collaborations taking place within the project. Beyond EOSC Future, it was important to consider how the EOSC Future Community could be maintained after the EOSC Future project, so as to transfer and maximise the value for use by other projects and EOSC.
