Best practices for service onboarding the EOSC hub

The NEANIAS EU project develops thematic services for EOSC communities in the field of Underwater, Atmospheric and Space research. The integration of the thematic services into the EOSC ecosystem together with the investigation of the possibility of onboarding a number of core services to EOSC as well are among the main project targets to pursue. Furthermore, the reuse of EOSC services for the purposes of NEANIAS services is another key challenge of the project towards EOSC integration. This white paper presents an overview of the NEANIAS journey towards EOSC integration; from the preparation of an initial integration plan to its realisation through the onboarding of NEANIAS services on EOSC marketplace. The white paper emphasises on experiences gathered, issues encountered and lessons learnt throughout this journey, which may prove helpful to other service providers planning for EOSC onboarding
