The Astro-CC Pilot project started on 01 February 2025 (delayed from initial announcement). The project is planning to run events as a pilot of an Astronomy Open Science Centre in the context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
Astro-CC Pilot is one of the funded projects of the EC Horizon Europe OSCARS initiative (https://oscars-project.eu) which covers all areas of science. Astro-CC Pilot will be presented at the OSCARS Annual General meeting in Rome, 3-4 March 2025 (https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/34984/overview).

European astronomy communities have been contacted so that they can provide input into the planning of the events: Technology forums, Data Provider forums, and Scientific Training events (VO schools).
