DI4R 2018 – Digital Infrastructures for Research


The third edition of the annual Digital Infrastructures for Research (DI4R) conference will be held this year at the University of Lisbon campus in Lisbon, Portugal from 9-11 October.

Building on the success of DI4R2016 (Krakow) and DI4R2017 (Brussels), DI4R2018 promises to be the biggest and best yet. Jointly organised by EOSC-hub, GÉANT, OpenAIRE and PRACE, the event will bring a packed programme of sessions, posters and networking opportunities to Europe’s researchers, developers and service providers – leading to brainstorming and discussions on how best to serve the user base.

We would like to take the opportunity to proudly announce that this year's co-chairs will be Volker Guelkow (from DESY) and Sinéad Ryan from (Trinity College).

So make sure to save the date and keep an eye on our channels to stay up to date as on DI4R2018.
​DI4R17​​​​

​DI4R 2017 showcased the policies, processes, best practices, data and services that, leveraging today’s initiatives – national, regional, European and international – are the building blocks of the European Open Science Cloud and European Data Infrastructure. The overarching goal of this event was to demonstrate how open science, higher education and innovators can benefit from these building blocks, and ultimately to advan​ce integration and cooperation between initiatives.
