The Open Science FAIR conference will host, next week, four demo sessions for future users and resource/service providers of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). On September 21st and 22nd, Tuesday and Wednesday, there will be two sessions for each of the two profiles. Registrations can be made through this link.

The EOSC Portal was conceived to provide a European delivery channel connecting the demand-side and the supply-side of EOSC and its different stakeholders. The Portal is a gateway to information and resources in EOSC, providing updates on its governance and players, the projects contributing to its realisation, funding opportunities for EOSC stakeholders, relevant European and national policies, documents, and recent developments. The portal's Catalog and its Marketplace act as an entry point to a multitude of services and resources for researchers.

The EOSC will become Europe's virtual environment for all researchers to store, manage, analyze and reuse data for research, innovation and education. Its intention is to provide a space to federate digital and scientific data infrastructures that are currently spread across different disciplines and EU members. The initiative makes accessing data and other research results easier and more efficient.

The demo session for users will offer an overview of the Portal experience, improved by the EOSC Enhance project, and a tutorial on how to use the main features and functionalities to explore a growing number of resources available to researchers.

For the resource and service providers, the Portal welcomes those interested in contributing to its development as a rich environment that offers a wide variety of services and resources. The demo session for providers will demonstrate how a provider can successfully complete their registration and their first onboarding experience, as well as manage the dashboard and its main features. Onboarding and maintenance of quality resources in the Portal offer providers a great opportunity to reach out to researchers in Europe and beyond. Providers receive support in the integration process, visibility into the platform, as well as up-to-date usage statistics and user feedback.
