5 new members join the EUDAT Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI)

Primary tabs

The EUDAT Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI), which consists of a European e-infrastructure of integrated data services and resources to support research, has been developed thanks to the collaboration with over 50 research communities spanning across different scientific disciplines. In January 2017, the CDI welcomed 5 new signatories, namely SNIC, CCFE, UCL, Meertens Instituut and The University of Edinburgh. Currently, the EUDAT CDI counts 21 members:
