Short Description
As part of the Ö-Cloud environment, an institutionalised national network for infrastructure for the coordination, planning and administration of research facilities, services, research information and research data will be established. Taking into account national and international strategies and standards, ARI&Snet sustainably strengthens Austrian agendas in the field of digital research support and ensures the long-term operation of both existing and newly developed services. These shared services act as a catalyst for Open Science and contribute to the further development of Austria as a future-oriented research location. In addition, they form the basis for an effective information and service platform for Austrian research.
ARI&Snet creates sustainable synergies between digitisation projects, research institutions, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Women, Science and Research (BMFWF) and digitisation initiatives such as the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). This creates significant added value for the digital and social transformation in higher education.

Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
The ARI&Snet platform is a research-supporting service based on OpenShift and Kubernetes, which is generally available to all consortium partners for projects in the field of research data and cooperation projects. Necessary prior knowledge is a basic understanding of deployment and software development technologies, depending on the respective hosted project. Consortium partners can receive technical training if required. The technical ARI&Snet manual in English can be found at the following link: https://docs.arisnet.ac.at/
