The Hub
• A European-level contact point for researchers and innovators to discover,
access, use and reuse a broad spectrum of resources for advanced data-
driven research.
- Through the virtual access mechanism, more scientific communities and users have
access to services supporting their scientific discovery and collaboration across
disciplinary and geographical boundaries.
• Open to service providers and end-users
- The project will support the integration new thematic services and scientific products
from research communities and disciplines.
