There are encouraging existing examples of this.

OCLC is a cooperative owned by libraries and runs the largest book catalog in the world, WorldCat. It has "16,857 members in 113 countries".

EU could easily start an incubator for new cooperatives in science, academia, etc.

OCLC is a co-op owned by libraries that manages WorldCat, the world's biggest book catalog and has "16,857 members in 113 countries".

Maybe OCLC could sponsor incubators for new science co-ops?
