Engaging the Research Community towards an Open Science Commons

“The Cloud and Desktop as a Service as a teaching tool for different research communities”

Speaker

David Wallom (OXFORD)

Description

Through availability of platforms such as the EGI federated cloud we are able to support the training of multiple different communities across international research projects, ensuring they receive uniform resources and mechanisms under which to perform the training. Through programs such as the UK NERC Environmental OmicS cloud and desktop as a service we are also able to provide training resources quickly and simply to trainees which they are able to maintain access to beyond just the training event itself. This presentation will highlight the EGI federated Cloud and how Desktop as a Service can be a method which provides significant value add to the trainer and the trainee communities".
