D4Science provides a powerful, cloud-based infrastructure that enables seamless collaboration across disciplines.Thanks to our customizable Virtual Research Environments and easy access to data and tools,  we empower researchers and policymakers to drive scientific discovery and support data-driven decisions.
It has been designed to offer diverse communities of practices a comprehensive suite of services through tailored and co-created virtual research environments promoting collaboration and innovation. Our virtual research environments support the entire research lifecycle, from data management and analysis to publication and collaboration. By integrating services, tools, and resources, D4Science advances open science practices. Its effectiveness is exemplified through numerous success stories and impactful use cases. 
D4Science is managed by the Italian National Research Council (CNR). Its headquarters are hosted by CNR's Institute of Information Science and Technologies "A. Faedo" (CNR-ISTI) in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy. To ensure high availability and resilience, the D4Science infrastructure is deployed across five geographically distributed sites: the D4Science data center in Pisa, three locations within GARR (the Italian National Research and Education Network), and one at the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This distributed architecture provides access to substantial computing resources: 11,700 CPU cores, 82 TB of RAM, and 1,720 TB of storage.
The new CNR data center in Pisa is designed according to the best practices recommended by the CEN-CENELEC CLC TR50600-99-1 standard, "Data center facilities and infrastructures - Part 99-1: Recommended practices for energy management." Furthermore, it adheres to the "Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact," a self-regulatory initiative by data center and infrastructure operators to contribute to the European Green Deal.
