DESCRIPTION:The third edition of the EOSC Winter School\, set to take place
  in Nice\, France on 27-29 January 2026 will build on the momentum created
  by the EOSC Symposium 2025 and the work of the EOSC Federation Build-up G
 roup\, advancing further convergence on the EOSC Federation among all stak
 eholders. The event is organised by EOSC-A with the support of the EOSC Gr
 avity project.\n\nThe EOSC Winter School 2026 will deepen collaboration ac
 ross the wider EOSC community\, fostering stronger alignment with the EOSC
  Federation Build-up Group. The event will be co-located with a closed mee
 ting of the EOSC Federation Build-up Group on 26-27 January 2026. Outcomes
  from this meeting will inform the discussions at the Winter School.\n\nTh
 e EOSC Federation has now become the central reference point for the work 
 of the INFRAEOSC projects and the wider EOSC community. The Winter School 
 will offer extensive opportunities for participants to engage with the EOS
 C Nodes of the first wave to explore collaboration opportunities\, identif
 y partners for future funding proposals\, such as the preparatory grants a
 nd inter-project grants under EOSC Gravity\, and gain insights into future
  enrolment calls.\n\n### The Winter School will foster convergence through
  three complementary approaches:\n\n* Strengthening exchange between the E
 OSC Nodes and the EOSC community: Creating space for dialogue and mutual l
 earning to support future EOSC Node applications and onboarding of resourc
 es to the EOSC Federation\,\n* Providing opportunities to network and forg
 e alliances: Enabling participants to identify partners and shape joint in
 itiatives and funding proposals\,\n* Enhancing collaboration: Building on 
 the Winter School’s established format\, the event will foster in-depth 
 discussions and hands-on collaboration across the EOSC community.\n\n### T
 he EOSC Winter School 2026 will feature two interlinking parts:\n\n* EOSC 
 Stakeholder Brokerage Event (27 January): A matchmaking session aiming to 
 connect resource providers with the EOSC Nodes\n* Thematic tracks (28-29 J
