GRNET

GRNET has taken another bold step in digital preservation.  Recognizing that software is as vital to our cultural heritage as are books and scientific data,  GRNET is expanding its commitment to Open Science by contributing to Software Heritage by hosting a Software Heritage Mirror in partnership with France’s National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (Inria). The starting point was the FAIRCORE4EOSC project, through which GRNET successfully deployed a Software Heritage Mirror — a complete, independent copy of the world’s largest universal source code archive — in GRNET’s data centers.

By hosting and operating a dedicated Software Heritage Mirror, GRNET will ensure that Europe’s research and innovation community, particularly EOSC, benefits from reliable access to this invaluable digital resource. GRNET continues to embody and strengthen its role as Greece’s gateway to global science and a driving force for Open, FAIR, and sustainable digital infrastructures.
