The document details the einfracentral project, which aims to enhance access to e-infrastructure and e-science services by 2020, funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 program. Its core objectives include creating a common service catalog for e-infrastructures and developing a web platform to aid users in discovering these services. The document emphasizes collaboration among various organizations to foster a European e-science marketplace.
