EOSC Association Competitors

The Open Quantum Institute (OQI) is a collaborative initiative that seeks to provide inclusive access to quantum computing and to support the development of concrete quantum solutions aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Hosted by CERN, born at GESDA, supported by UBS, the OQI unites the future of science with the powers of diplomacy to solve the biggest challenges facing the world and humanity.

ELIXIR, the European Research Infrastructure for biological data, brings together Europe's major life-science data archives and, for the first time, connects these with national bioinformatics infrastructures and resources. By coordinating local, national, and international resources, ELIXIR seeks to meet the data-related needs of Europe's 500,000 life science researchers. We support the foundation on which our understanding of life is built, the life-science data. ELIXIR provides the facilities necessary for researchers —from bench biologists to cheminformaticians— to make the most of the rapidly growing research data.
