E-CAS: Fall 2021 Updates
Workshop: Exploring Clouds for Acceleration of Science Phase II
Watch recordings and download presentations from this Sept. 22nd TechEXtra21 event.

Exploring Clouds for Acceleration of Science (E-CAS) is a project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF Award #1904444) that is being administered and coordinated by Internet2 in collaboration with commercial cloud service providers. This TechEXtra21 workshop, held Sept. 22, 2021, highlighted the achievements of the projects undertaken by the sub-awardees and discussed some of the benefits and challenges of using cloud platforms to support research.
