Dataset Publication Support

With the aim of enhancing the registered data in the ABCI Datasets, AIST will implement a program to support users who wish to release their research data generated using the ABCI. ABCI users who apply and are approved for this program will be provided with the ABCI points necessary to store their research data in the ABCI Cloud Storage free of charge on the condition that they register their research data in the ABCI Datasets.

Eligible Users

This program is open to all ABCI users with a valid ABCI account.
