Start: January 20th, 2025
End: January 24th, 2025
The second edition of the EOSC Winter School, will be held in Spain on the week of 20th January 2025.
The EOSC Winter School is an initiative by EOSC-A, with the support of the EOSC Focus project, taken up in response to collaboration needs among Horizon Europe EOSC-related projects.
The EOSC Winter School was conceptualised following a suggestion at the European Commission’s June 2023 coordination meeting, which identified a significant collaboration gap in the Horizon Europe EOSC-related projects.
AquaINFRA Partner Kaori Otsu (CREAF) will participate in the session, User and resource environments: Trusted VREs and EOSC Federation Model. This session aims to explore the technical procedures to enrol as a Node or onboard services to a pre-existing EOSC Node. You can find out more information about this session here.
