About

gCube is the Software System designed and implemented to enable the building and operation of a Service Oriented Infrastructure supporting the definition of Virtual Research Environments (VREs).

It is equipped with a rich array of "mediators" making it possible the exploitation of services and facilities offered by large computing infrastructures as D4Science (www.d4science.org), EGI (European Grid Initiative), OpenAIRE (www.openaire.eu),

This system has been implemented with the support of the European Commission in the context of a series of projects (reverse chronological order):
