To wrap up over three years of the project and its community, Cos4Cloud and ECSA co-organised a final event for everyone interested to learn about the project’s main achievements, discover how to use Cos4Cloud’s products and celebrating the community that has actively contributed to the project. The event took place on 2nd March 2023.
The event was divided into two main parts; during the first one, Jaume Piera, the Cos4Cloud coordinator and Institut de Ciències del Mar – CSIC researcher, explained our journey & contributions to citizen science, citizen observatories & the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
