EOSC DIH Tender

core/freeform

Last week, I attended the annual meeting of the <a href="http://www.einfracentral.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">eInfraCentral project</a> in Brussels. During the day, we reviewed the main achievements of the first year of work: 1) a <a href="http://einfracentral.eu/sites/default/files/ServiceDescriptionTemplate/1.00.xlsx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">common template for describing services</a> across e-infrastructures was agreed, 2) a <a href="http://beta.einfracentral.eu/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">beta version of the portal</a> to browse and discover services was launched, 3) an initial collection of 69 services was collected from the initial set of e-Infrastructure service providers.
During the event, we also discussed about the next steps for the coming months. Many activities are in the pipeline and include the gathering of service descriptions from many other e-infrastructure initiatives, the improvements of the portal (e.g. adding both push/pull programmatic interfaces to update the content), and the organisation of promotional events to raise the awareness of the portal for both users and providers.
With the start of the <a href="http://eosc-hub.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">EOSC-hub project</a>, positioning and collaboration areas were also identified to ensure synergies across the two initiatives. While the eInfraCentral portal can act as the &#8220;Trivago&#8221; for e-Infrastructure services, the planned EOSC-hub marketplace can the &#8220;Booking.com&#8221; for a number of affiliated providers.
More was done and more is expected in the upcoming period.
