Success Stories

A collection of the success stories from research communities resolving their challenges thanks to EGI

Our success stories focus on a single customer’s experience with EGI services. They describe the challenges the customer needed to solve, how the customer implemented the solution, and which specific services were used to achieve what result.

The case studies describe how EGI supported the research communities in their research problems, and quantify the results and the impact on the research fields.
