Tier-1 data introduction training on January 17, 2025#

On the 17th of January, the VSC organizes an online introduction training for Tier-1 Data, the VSC’s data management platform.

This platform provides researchers a persistent, secure location to store their data between jobs, and gives them the tools to manage this data according to best practices. This is achieved through a metadata module, granular rights management, and the option to automate workflows.

Users can access their data through different clients like a command-line interface, a web portal, a Python API and Globus.

The session will contain the following elements:

  • An overview of Tier-1 Data and its functionalities

  • A demonstration of the web portal

  • Hands-on exercises with the command-line interface

Separate trainings will be organized for the Python API and for Globus.

The training is open to both users with and without an existing Tier-1 Data project and is listed on the VSCwebVSC training calendar.
