The EOSC Symposium 2025 marked the exciting transition of the EOSC Federation into its operational phase. As with previous editions, participants entertained insightful discussions, strategic updates, and unparalleled networking opportunities.

Organised by the EOSC Association, with the support of the EOSC Gravity and EOSC Focus projects, the EOSC Symposium 2025 took place on 03-05 November at the historic Le Plaza Hotel in Brussels.

The flagship event brought together the larger EOSC community of policy makers, funders, researchers, representatives of research-performing organisations, as well as national and pan-European data infrastructures, Research Infrastructures, and e-Infrastructures, all of whom are working together to build EOSC and the EOSC Federation.

ENVRI-Hub NEXT was represented by Nafis Tanveer Islam (University of Amsterdam) in the Lightning Calls and Demos session on 4 November 2025, 10:15-11:30 CET, with the demo “An intelligent system for discoverability and collaboration”, featuring the ENVRI Knowledge Base, currently being developed in ENVRI-Hub NEXT.
