The "EGIverse"
EGI Federation
EGI is a federation of computing and storage resource providers united by a mission of delivering advanced computing and data analytics services for research and innovation.
EGI Foundation
EGI Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation created to coordinate and develop the EGI infrastructure and engage diverse users of our broad service portfolio.
EGI Community
The EGI community is a community of researchers, developers, funders, technologists, dreamers and do-ers : in short anyone with a stake in advanced computing for research.
Impact
"We continuously innovate our services and technology to meet the needs of researchers worldwide."
–Tiziana Ferrari / Director of EGI Foundation
The impact of the EGI Federation is broad and diverse. We support all kinds of research. Examples include finding new tools to diagnose and monitor diseases such as Alzheimer’s, developing complex simulations to model climate change, searching for gravitational waves, and pursuing the dark matter.
We continuously innovate our services and technology, foster international collaborations and knowledge sharing, and finally, create opportunities for professional development and acquiring know-how.
EGI aims to support the implementation of the digital European Research Area (ERA), to contribute to the development of the data economy and the related connected digital single market in Europe, and ultimately to contribute to the development of an Open Science Commons.

EGI and EOSC
EGI supports a Web of FAIR Data and services for science in Europe
European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is an environment for hosting and processing research data to support EU science.
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative will offer researchers a virtual environment with open and seamless services for storage, management, analysis and re-use of research data, across borders and scientific disciplines by federating existing data infrastructures. EOSC is being co-created in a series of funded projects and initiatives from member states and associated countries. The services and expertise of the EGI Federation are being recognised as key assets for the EOSC, especially for the Federating Core.
