AREA Science Park joins ICDI

With AREA Science Park's access to the collaboration agreement, the Italian open science family is growing.

The signing of the agreement represents the achievement and promises a further strengthening of the collaboration already active within the various ICDI-driven working tables. Since the initiative was set up last year, the Trieste-based organisation has contributed to the work done to consolidate the participation of the Italian research community in the European and International initiatives of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), the European Data Infrastructure (EDI) and EUROHPC.

REA is the first research organisation to associate with CNR, CINECA, ENEA, Elettra Sincrotrone, GARR, INAF, INFN, INGV and OGS, founders of this initiative, but other realities in the academic and research world are showing interest in joining the collaboration, which promises to play a strategic role in view of the coordinated participation within the EOSC Association, where ICDI, besides being one of the 4 founders, has been appointed by the MUR as a mandated entity for our country.
