[aegis-vo-users] EOSC Future training for the Western Balkans and Ukraine

[Dusan Vudragovic]

Just a friendly reminder that the registration deadline is quickly approaching on 31 Jul 2023. We have been informed by the organizers that there are still spots available for participants from Serbia. Just a quick reminder that the EOSC Future project will cover travel and lodging expenses for around 10 selected participants from each country in the Western Balkans and Ukraine.

Best regards, Dusan

The goal of this training event will be to increase the uptake of EOSC services and resources among research communities, with a focus on the Western Balkans and Ukraine. This event will also build on the work, and training materials, of the NI4OS-Europe project (https://ni4os.eu/overview/).
