Archiving and preservation for research environments

Training Webinar on the Arkivum solution for long-term data preservation

Open Map

ARCHIVER suppliers Arkivum and Libnova, together with their consortium partners, have been selected to continue with the pilot phase of the ARCHIVER Pre-commercial procurement tender to deliver research ready solutions for long-term data preservation of research data in the current European Open Science panorama. The solutions developed by the two consortia are now in their pilot phase and are in the process of being published as services available on the EOSC Marketplace, thus opening the possibility to other users to exploit the long-term data preservation solutions developed in the framework of ARCHIVER PCP. With this in mind, specific training sessions are being organised to showcase to all interested stakeholders how to use the solutions and their benefits.
