As the core infrastructure of the DDE Big Science Program, the DDE Platform team showcased its advanced data-integration and intelligent analysis capabilities at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly from April 27 to May 2. During the Assembly, the Platform secured data-sharing intentions from nearly 20 international research institutions, further reinforcing its ongoing efforts to create a “data–talent–technology” oriented global partnership network.

We received strong international recognition for our platform’s comprehensive capabilities and future vision. Experts acknowledged the performance of our user-centered interface, seamless integration of diverse analytical tools.

DDE Platform intends to build on the contacts made and interest expressed by several organizations whose representatives visited the DDE Platform booth and expand the Platform’s user and partnership network significantly in the coming years.
