The development of eInfrastructure services has matured over the years to provide a portfolio of services targeted at the Research & Education sector, however access to information about these services across Europe is disparate and varies dramatically. The eInfraCentral project aims to provide a simple to use one-stop-shop for services across the community to make it easier to find, select and use eInfrastructure Services – particularly in the long-tail of research where access is less well managed.

eInfraCentral will be a key component of a wider push towards a European Open Science cloud (EOSC) which aims to strengthen Europe's position in data-driven innovation, to improve competitiveness and cohesion and to help create a Digital Single Market.  EOSC will create a federated, globally accessible, multidisciplinary environment where researchers, innovators, companies and citizens can publish, find, use and reuse each other's data, tools, publications and other outputs for research, innovation and educational purposes.  This talk will demonstrate how joining up e-infrastructure service catalogues will lead to a “market place” of services benefitting a wide range of users from across Europe.
