Today, we are celebrating our 8th anniversary as an organisation that empowers researchers to transform data, software and expertise into knowledge and innovation.
The <a href="https://www.egi.eu/about/egi-foundation/">EGI Foundation</a> was established in Amsterdam in 2010 to coordinate the activities of EGI on behalf of the community and to build an integrated pan-European infrastructure to primarily support European research communities.
EGI was a large infrastructure right from the beginning. What started at 200.000 CPU cores and 100 Petabytes available in 2010 reached about 850,000 cores and 650 Petabytes in 2018. This impressive growth is a response to the demands of new user communities in various scientific fields, from high-energy physics in 2010 to life sciences, astronomy, humanities &amp; environmental sciences, among others, in 2018.
The <a href="https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/EGI-Engage:Main_Page" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">EGI-Engage project</a> built on the accomplishments of EGI-InSPIRE (ended in 2014) and saw a great evolution of our services and user communities as well as the pioneering of competence centres: distributed teams of experts where research groups and members of the EGI Federation co-developed new digital solutions for scientific challenges.
EGI is now a mature infrastructure with a rich service catalogue that serves a myriad of scientific communities all over the world.
Yannick Legré, Managing Director of the EGI Foundation, says:&nbsp; “I’d like to thank the EGI Community for all their accomplishments and support during these years! The coordination of the <a href="http://eosc-hub.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">EOSC-hub project</a>, which started in January 2018, is a wide recognition of EGI’s dedication to serve research and innovation and strive for excellence.”
We are only a few steps away from the realisation of the <a href="https://www.egi.eu/about/newsletters/what-is-the-european-open-science-cloud/">European Open Science Cloud</a> and the building of the Hub: a central point for all European researchers and innovators to discover, access and use a broad spectrum of resources for advanced data-driven research.
A very happy birthday to the EGI community and we look forward to more exciting years ahead!

Eight years of EGI at the forefront of innovation
