Over the last decade, the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) has built a distributed computing and data infrastructure to support over 21,000 researchers from many disciplines with unprecedented data analysis capabilities.
EGI’s mission is to create and deliver open solutions for science and research infrastructures by federating digital capabilities, resources and expertise between communities and across national boundaries.
By providing easy, integrated and open access to the advanced computing capabilities, researchers from all disciplines have the resources and expertise they need to collaborate in data/compute-intensive challenges.
To this end, EGI has developed a Services Catalogue divided into three main categories:
