Summary

Join the EOSC Beyond project for an insightful webinar introducing the EOSC Core Innovation Sandbox, a highly anticipated testbed designed to enable service providers, research communities, and infrastructure operators to prototype, validate, and integrate their technical solutions within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

Description

This session will showcase how the Sandbox mirrors the EOSC production environment, enabling seamless pre-deployment testing of services, workflows, and interoperability strategies.

Learn directly from pilot node representatives who have leveraged the Sandbox to refine their integrations. Whether you aim to publish FAIR data, deploy domain-specific workflows, or trial new infrastructure setups, this webinar will guide you on how to access tailored support and ensure your solutions thrive in EOSC’s evolving ecosystem.
