Have a great event! @instruct-eric.bsky.social director Harald @schwalbe-lab.bsky.social and lead developer @mapkyca.bsky.social are participating Today @astburycentre.bsky.social organised event in Leeds I was sharing the news! @ccpnmr.bsky.social @ccp4mx.bsky.social @diamondlightsource.bsky.social

EOSC Beyond@eosc-beyond.bsky.social

See you tomorrow in Florence, Italy, for the EOSC Symposium, as we celebrate the transition of the #EOSC Federation into operations. Learn more about EOSC Beyond at the @egieinfra.bsky.social booth Visit the Symposium website: eosc.eu/symposium-2026

We are working with the MDDB and other colleagues to be able to offer molecular dynamics in the Instruct catalogue thanks to the @horizoneu.bsky.social support with the project MD4SB. Adam Hospital from @irbbarcelona.org is the speaker now at the integrative structural biology meeting in Leeds.

Instruct-ERIC@instruct-eric.bsky.social

Next talk also by a research from an @instruct-eric.bsky.social centre, this time France IBS brings the issue of databases and databanks for AFM. Jean-Luc Pellequer centre discusses challenges and opportunities This sort of very practical issues should be helped by the EOSC @eosc-beyond.bsky.social

The second made it more real: messier, broader, and much more useful. With EOSC Beyond, Data Terra, ENVRI, EMBRC, EGI, GRNET, and the Life Science Connect node in the room, we moved from “can catalogues talk?” to the harder question: “can they understand each other well enough to build on?”
