The [Digital Research Alliance of Canada] is inviting participants from diverse sectors to work together in an open and collaborative context to facilitate researcher use of cloud infrastructure. Whether commercial vendors, open-source developers or members of the Canadian digital research infrastructure (DRI) ecosystem, participants will work with community stakeholders to develop a single “pane of glass” or portal for seamless access to commercial and community cloud.

The ACCP is a pilot project that aims to build national cloud research capacity and deliver on the Alliance’s mandate to meet the increasing DRI resource demand from the Canadian research community. As a pilot project, users can opt in to use the cloud service that suits their needs – whether it is the Alliance’s community cloud solution or another provider’s solution…

… To ensure the final product is viable and of value, we will make a call to the researcher community to test the platform and provide feedback. The anticipated completion date of the pilot is March 2025; however, testing will be required throughout the building phase.

For more information, including project overview, submission guidelines, criteria for acceptance and more, read the Call for Participation: Researchers here.
