Welcome to ELIXIR Data Transfer’s documentation!

ELIXIR is a distributed infrastructure for life-science information. As part of the H2020 project ELIXIR-Excelerate to accelerate the implementation of ELIXIR, the ELIXIR Compute Platform task 4.3.3 Data Storage and Transfers has investigated, tested and piloted different methods to move data between sites, compute facilities and users’ local environments. These pages contain findings, recommendations and instructions for different scenarios related to data transfers.
