DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURES for RESEARCH 2018 | Serving the user base
Save the date: DI4R2018 will be held from 9-11 October in the beautiful city of Lisbon!
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 Guelzow (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.

What DI4R means for us
DI4R provides and important platform for the main European research infrastructures to come together and deepen connections with their users and each other. PRACE of course supports this co-operation which will ultimately benefit science, industry and society and help us move towards the implementation of EDI.
Serge Bogaerts, PRACE, Managing Director
Science is moving towards open, and research infrastructures provide the means and the methods to get there: help create greater interest, dissemination and impact for *Open Science communities*, whether in the academy or in the wider society, by joining us at DI4R!
Mike Mertens, Scientific Manager, OpenAIRE
We see significant interest from the research community in how e-infrastructures can jointly support their needs and work with them to improve open science and collaboration for all. DI4R is an important event and GÉANT is proud to be one of the major organisers.
Cathrin Stӧver, Chief Collaboration Officer, GÉANT
The EOSC-hub project partners - including EGI, EUDAT CDI and INDIGO-DataCloud - are looking forward to contributing to the 2018 edition of DI4R. We are proud to be one of the organizers: DI4R is the place where the Digital Infrastructures - scientists, data practitioners, service providers and innovators - meet to better collaborate. In Europe and beyond.
Tiziana Ferrari, Technical Director, EGI Foundation & EOSC-hub Coordinator
