For more than two decades, National Infrastructures for Research and Technology  – GRNET, operating under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence, has been at the heart of Greece’s digital transformation in research and education. As the country’s national e-Infrastructure provider, GRNET enables cutting-edge services for scientists, students, and innovators — seamlessly connecting Greece with the global research ecosystem.

From high-speed networks through GEANT, to advanced Cloud and High-Throughput Computing with EGI – Advanced Computing Services for Research, to data management via EUDAT Collaborative Data Infrastructure, and High-Performance Computing (HPC) with PRACE and EuroHPC, GRNET has consistently been a trusted partner in Europe’s flagship e-Infrastructure initiatives. Today, it also plays a central role in shaping the future of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) as an active member of the EOSC Association.

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 National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (Inria). Τhe 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 on GRNET’s  datacentres.

By hosting and operating a dedicated Software Heritage Mirror, GRNET will ensure that Europe’s research and innovation community — and 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.
