EXAELIA publications
Partners will disseminate results through publications and active participation to conferences and standardization working groups. Please note that a specific Zenodo community has been created to share open access publications.
EXAELIA also set up EXAELIA Academy, offering online training resources and will organise a series of events targeting different audiences, from scientific to industry to general public. We will promote each event once the exact dates and venues are defined, so please stay tuned (on this website and EXAELIA LinkedIn page).
