OneSciencePlace® is a modern, extensible, fully managed, and composable platform that enables the creation of an HPC portal, a science gateway, a data sharing hub, or a publication repository through an intuitive, low-code/no-code environment. Designed to cater to the complete spectrum of the research ecosystem, OneSciencePlace empowers principal investigators, educators, research teams, HPC administrators, and institutional stakeholders alike. Whether serving a single user, a classroom, a collaborative research group, or a campus-wide initiative, the platform scales effortlessly to meet diverse needs.

At its core, everything on OneSciencePlace consists of content, including applications, data, publications, and tools, which facilitates the curation, presentation, and extension of scientific resources. With built-in FAIRness (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and seamless integration across computational and storage backends (on-premises or cloud), OneSciencePlace redefines the delivery of cyberinfrastructure at a fraction of the cost and with minimal administrative burden.

The OneSciencePlace platform is built on a collection of mature technologies, including Drupal, SeedMeLab, Tapis, and others. It can seamlessly interface with multiple compute resources, including Linux hosts, HPC clusters, and storage resources such as POSIX file systems or S3 object storage.

The tutorial builds on last year’s success and will include the latest developments of the OneSciencePlace platform. This tutorial will focus on Science Gateway and HPC portal use cases, guiding attendees to explore OneSciencePlace in a hands-on way. An outline of the tutorial agenda is provided below, including presentations, reviews, and hands-on components.
