Accessing the service
For basic functionality such as searching, discovery, and downloading of most datasets and collections registration is not required. For other functionality such as managing collections and depositing data an account is required. This page provides information on how to obtain an account and how to access the service.
How to obtain an account
To get access to the service please contact SURF via the service desk. For large publications an agreement with your institute, research group or on an individual basis is required.
As soon as an agreement is in place, SURF will provision your account. If you already have an account for another service, it might be possible to use the same account. Once your account has been provisioned you can access the service, search for datasets, and make your first deposit.
