+[Twenty-three projects have been awarded nearly €1.15 million](https://eosc.eu/news/twenty-three-projects-receive-funding-under-eosc-gravity) under [EOSC Gravity](https://eosc.eu/eosc-gravity) to support the preparatory work of potential future EOSC Nodes, and expand the services offered through the [EOSC Federation](https://eosc.eu/building-the-eosc-federation). 
+
+In this highly competitive open call, we are delighted to share that our project **TeSSHub4EOSC**, led by Prof Carole Goble (Head of Node **ELIXIR-UK**)  and  Oliver Knodel (with **Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf**) been selected in this highly competitive environment. 
+The project is a partnership between The University of Manchester and HZDR with various supporting partners spanning different scientific disciplines. 
+The project spans the [Life Sciences Connect](https://eosc.eu/building-the-eosc-federation/eosc-node-life-sciences-connect) and [Photon and Neutron Cloud](https://eosc.eu/building-the-eosc-federation/eosc-node-panosc) EOSC Nodes. 
+Further project team members include Phil Reed (project coordinator), Martin Voigt, Finn Bacall and Munazah Andrabi.

+## About TeSSHub4EOSC
+
+The **TeSSHub4EOSC** project will establish a distributed, FAIR-compliant catalog infrastructure for training materials and events within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), based on the [mTeSS-X platform](/projects/mtess-x/) (originally developed in the OSCARS Open Science project). This system will integrate decentralised training resource catalogues, serving as a central backbone for the EOSC Catalogue.
+
+By automating the harvesting, standardisation, and exposure of metadata from diverse sources —such as research infrastructures, universities, and domain communities— the platform will enable interoperable discovery, access, and reuse of training resources. The project will ensure technical integration with EOSC services, including EOSC-AAI for authentication and authorisation, while adhering to FAIR principles.
+
+The primary outcome will be a central TeSSHub instance complementing discipline-specific catalogs like [ELIXIR TeSS](/products/tess/) and PaN-Training. This instance will allow EOSC nodes, communities, science clusters, and competence centers to create custom-branded views or spaces with their own content, without maintaining separate infrastructure. The solution will also support the EOSC Academy, fostering scalable and sustainable access to training materials across EOSC.

+
+## Scientific Impact
+
+TeSSHub4EOSC directly supports EU Open Science policy and EOSC Federation objectives by tackling three critical priorities: data interoperability, FAIR compliance, and cross-disciplinary training access. The project aligns with the EU’s Digital Decade targets and the European Research Area (ERA) Policy Agenda, both of which call for seamless access to research data and infrastructures. By consolidating fragmented training resources into a unified, FAIR-aligned catalogue, it ensures that training materials are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable across European research infrastructures.
