Custom, on-demand, scientific gateways

The CONNECT Dashboard is a platform as a service that enables institutions, universities, or lead teams on a scientific domain, to easily create, configure and manage, their own customised web portal that collects and shares research outcomes of their interest to their audiences. The gateways could be public or set in a private mode.

The CONNECT Dashboard enables domain specific research communities, universities, institutions, and projects to build customised portals (Research Community Gateways) to gather, showcase their research results and set their Open Science practices. Deployed on demand on the cloud, we offer Research Community Gateways in the software as a service (SaaS) mode, which is effectively a self-managed portal to satisfy your community's research discovery, sharing, and publishing needs. CONNECT is available for public and private use.
