OneSciencePlace

OneSciencePlace is a composable platform for delivering research applications, data sharing, and publishing through a single web-based environment — without building custom infrastructure from scratch. The platform comes with a set of building blocks that can be configured to build tailored solutions for common research needs, such as an HPC portal paired with local and remote clusters, a science gateway that curates discipline-specific applications and data, a data and publication repository for a project or institution, or an education and instruction environment with prebuilt applications for courses and workshops. 

The OneSciencePlace platform is welcoming new projects. Contact OARC to connect about your project needs.

It enables research groups, campus computing centers, and science gateway communities to rapidly deploy portals and gateways while integrating multiple computing resources — local, remote, and cloud — within a single environment.

The platform emphasizes FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) content delivery, allowing researchers to access, run, and share applications directly from a web browser. It fosters collaboration by enabling users to publish, reuse, and interact with apps, data, and articles in a unified space — reducing the engineering and operational burden of building and maintaining research platforms.

OneSciencePlace was motivated by the NSF, the Science Gateways Community Institute, and broad community feedback to build a modern, robust platform for research and education. Technology choices were guided by maturity, extensibility, maintainability, and open-source principles. The platform has undergone several iterations informed by end-user testing to deliver a compelling experience for researchers, educators, and administrators alike.
