Veronika Ambrozová, Michaela Capandová and Kateřina Martinovičová introduced the EOSC CZ initiative and presented the services and computing capacities offered by e-INFRA CZ. Jiří Vorel then familiarized participants with additional computing options provided by MetaCentrum and with tools that researchers can start using immediately – and entirely free of charge.
e-INFRA CZ, EOSC CZ Opportunities, and OS II Mini-Projects
Beyond introducing the EOSC CZ initiative, one of the key highlights of the event was the discussion about the possibilities of using computing tools and services provided by e-INFRA CZ infrastructure – all available to researchers at no cost. The discussion revealed that while researchers at the university have these needs, many were previously unaware of the full extent to which they could benefit from these tools. The event therefore brought not only new insights but also tangible opportunities for the research community.
There was also discussion around the University of Pardubice’s potential involvement in EOSC CZ thematic Working groups and OS II Mini-Projects, which would allow the university to contribute more actively to the development of modern and responsible science in the Czech Republic.
