Scratchpads are an online virtual research environment for biodiversity for the sharing of data and the creation of specific research networks. Sites can focus on specific taxonomic groups, the biodiversity of a biogeographic region, or any aspect of natural history. Scratchpads are also suitable for societies or for managing and presenting projects.

EC Inventory is a historical chemical substance inventory maintained by ECHA, based on data received from the Joint Research Centre in 2008. It includes EINECS ("European INventory of Existing Commercial chemical Substances", existing substances on the EU market before 1981), ELINCS ("European LIst of Notified Chemical Substances", notified new substances after 1981), and NLP ("No-Longer Polymers", substances reclassified as non-polymers after 1992). It supports regulatory processes under EU chemicals legislation.

EMODnet Bathymetry provides a service for viewing and downloading a harmonised Digital Terrain Model (DTM) for the European sea regions that is generated by the EMODnet Bathymetry partnership on the basis of an increasing number of bathymetric data sets. These are managed as survey data sets and composite DTMs by data providers from government and research. Services for discovery and requesting access to these data sets are provided as well.

EBRAINS is a platform for sharing brain research data ranging in type as well as spatial and temporal scale. The EBRAINS data curation service aims to provide maximum impact, visibility, reusability, and longevity. The user interface of the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph allows you to easily find data of interest. EBRAINS hosts a wide range of data types and models from different species. All data are well described and can be accessed immediately for further analysis.

The AEROCOM-project is an open international initiative of scientists interested in the advancement of the understanding of the global aerosol and its impact on climate.

The EMODnet geology portal provides free access to (i) geological data and metadata held by various geoscience organisations in Europe, delivered in accordance with international standards, and (ii) geological data products compiled at scales of 1:1,000,000, 1:250,000 and 1:100,000 or finer where the underlying data permit.

ARES (Aerosol Remote Sensing) is the ACTRIS (Aerosol, Cloud and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure) Data Centre unit for aerosol remote sensing profiling. ACTRIS-ARES host and manage the ACTRIS-EARLINET database, that represents a comprehensive, quantitative, and statistically significant collection of data for the aerosol distribution on European scale. ARES provides data curation, data processing and data access services for ACTRIS aerosol remote sensing data coming from lidar and photometer observations. Additionally, ARES hosts and manage the EARLINET web site and offers data services and digital tools to EARLINET and beyond. Major objectives also include the development and validation of new synergetic remote sensing algorithms, and the continuous evaluation of the representation of atmospheric aerosol parameters in climate and weather forecast models.

The Belgium Biodiversity Platform hosts this data repository on behalf of BioFresh in collaboration with the GBIF Secretariat, built using an installation of the GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT). Biofresh is an EU-funded international project that aims to build a global information platform for scientists and ecosystem managers with access to all available databases describing the distribution, status and trends of global freshwater biodiversity. BioFresh integrates the freshwater biodiversity competencies and expertise of 19 research institutions.
