Last week, it was time for all of us #Safespringers to meet up in Stockholm. Being a remote-first company gives us all plenty of flexibility and freedom to decide how and when we want to work. But we also believe there's value in connecting in person. Meeting in real life brings a new dimension to our relationships - it helps us build deeper connections, discuss important topics, and — have a lot of fun while doing that! Nothing beats the energy of coming together as a #TEAM.

Milestone reached! The European Open Science Cloud (#EOSC) has launched its first phase of the platform, the initial web presence introducing cloud services on Safespring infrastructure, marking an important step in the project’s development. EOSC, which offers a collaborative environment for European researchers to store, share, and utilize data, is built upon two main infrastructures, including that provided by Safespring. The future operational services that will be available through the EOSC EU Node ensure that researchers with EU funding can access essential tools for their work. Safespring’s infrastructure supports this initiative by offering a stable and scalable platform for a variety of services aimed at enhancing research and innovation. As the project progresses, the commitment to delivering comprehensive services for the scientific community remains strong, with a focus on enabling seamless scientific collaboration across Europe.
