At the start of the EOSC Future project, the EOSC Future User Group was established to help us gauge the accuracy and usability of EOSC products, services and systems to ensure that the EOSC Platform would be intuitive and fit for purpose for a variety of research communities.
Between October 2021 and September 2023, the User Group’s +300 members completed the following core activities:
- testing out and refining EOSC services/products
- completing 4-5 surveys
- participating in annual focus groups
- EOSC Future testbeds.
Thank you to our User Group members
We would like to thank all the user group participants for their much appreciated contributions to support the design and co-creation of EOSC solutions:
