Welcome to the guidelines on the use of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Logo and Branding
The guidelines have been approved by the EOSC Executive Board (EB). They are valid from 1st April 2020 to 31st December 2020 when the EOSC EB’s mandate comes to an end. New guidelines will be provided on 1st January 2021.
Use of the EOSC Logo
The EOSC logo may be used by any European organisation or H2020 funded project which is committed to supporting the implementation of the EOSC and/or is willing to be part of the EOSC ecosystem, and therefore accepts guidelines provided by the EOSC EB, EOSC Governance Board and the European Commission.
The usage of the logo by third parties does not mean that the EOSC Executive and Governance Board and the European Commission support, approve or endorse the work done by that third party.
