ENGAGE Video
For newcomers, the ENGAGE Consortium has put together a video to explain the core aims of the platform and the main functionality and features. The video can be seen at www.engage-project.eu and was shown during the European Data Forum (EDF) 2014 exhibition, where ENGAGE was a Gold Sponsor and organising partner. Also, the video attracted considerable attention at the International Conference on Research Infrastructures (ICRI) 2014 exhibition.
The ENGAGE YouTube channel will be populated with more videos soon, in the form of tutorials that will help researchers, journalists, developers and citizens to make the most of the platform’s functionality.
