Editorial commentary

The EOSC Marketplace (marketplace.eosc-portal.eu, currently transitioning into EOSC Beyond/Federation governance) lists services across categories such as data sources, computing, processing, networking, security, sharing and discovery, and training. Onboarding criteria address FAIR alignment, identity-federation readiness, and sustainability. The Marketplace is a key surface of EOSC for non-technical users and a key proof-point for EOSC’s service-federation model.
