We are certain you have heard of “Open Data” but – have you heard about our grant “ExPaNDS”?

ExPaNDS is the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Photon and Neutron Data Service. The ambitious project which will create enormous opportunities for the Photon and Neutron Research Infrastructures (PaN RIs) and through their findings for humankind across the globe. This will be achieved through the collaboration and federation of 10 national PaN RIs from across Europe based on the EOSC services in partnership with EGI, and will become a game-changer for the scientific user community. ExPaNDS will make the majority of PaN RIs data ‘open’ following the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) according to the user’s needs, and to harmonise efforts to migrate facility’s data analysis workflows to EOSC platforms enabling them to be shared in a uniform way. You can read more on our website here.

For the above to take shape, we are looking for your support.

• Are you interested in “Open Data”?
• Do you believe that open data will provide new opportunities for our PaN community and science in general?
• Do you support that open data could be freely used, re-used and distributed to advance knowledge and help combat 21^st century problems?

If so, we would value your involvement to help influence this topic and support our project.

If you would like to register your interest in supporting us and our grant, be key to helping us create and influence this enormous opportunity for our PaN community, then please register as per below to get in touch with us.
