We already posted some details about the e-IRG workshop but as we are getting closer to the event date more and more information surfaces in relation to it. This year’s e-IRG workshop will be a series of 3 webinars organized within the framework of Croatia’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union by the e-IRG secretariat and the University of Zagreb, the University Computing Centre (SRCE) with the support of the Croatian Ministry of Science and Education.
The topics are covering the key challenges of e-Infrastructures within the new ERA:
- future skills
- partnerships
- FAIR data
As we posted earlier due to the current crucial situation instead of a physical gathering the workshop will be held online, in form of webinars with an interactive atmosphere to discuss the key points of the topics above.
