We are eager to listen to success stories on how scientific excellence has been enabled through the federation of national, regional and international e-infrastructures and in particular the EGI Federation.
- Envisioning the future: Specific strategies in compute ecosystems, support for open science or other policy topics.
On Tuesday, October 19th, we have a special EOSC programme: throughout the day and across all tracks, you’ll be able to follow a dedicated EOSC-themed parcours.
The following sessions are organised as co-located events – you can indicate when registering if you want to attend:
