EGI | EGI Foundation and Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Resources Center sign MoU

We are pleased to announce that the EGI Foundation and Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Resources Center (SSTIR) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Resources Center (SSTIR) is based in Shanghai and supports a platform promoting technological resources and research data sharing.

Through this MoU, the EGI Foundation will support SSTIR in the design and construction of the Yangtze River Delta United Cloud Platform. The support envisaged includes consultancy on building a cloud federation and management platform, as well as provisioning of tools and services for the users (SaaS). The mutual interest in building and operating cloud federations for science and research brought together the two parties. The request for help reached EGI via the EOSC Portal, demonstrating the visibility and power of the EOSC Portal connecting communities even across continents.
