OCRE2024 Framework
About OCRE 2024
The OCRE 2024 Framework (Open Clouds for Research and Education) simplifies access to cloud services, enabling research and education institutions and public institutions to procure innovative cloud services in an easy, compliant, and cost-effective way. The new OCRE 2024 Framework officially started on 3 February 2025 and will be in place until 2030.
OCRE 2024 is an EU-compliant cloud procurement framework administered by GÉANT, the collaboration of European National Research and Education Networks (NRENs). It is the third iteration of GÉANT’s flagship cloud frameworks that since 2016 have fostered digital transformation across Europe by bridging the supply of innovative commercial cloud services with the demand and requirements of Research and Education institutions.
