Collaboratory 1 shutdown

Dear Collaboratory 1 user,

Welcome to the Collaboratory 2, you are seeing this page as you have tried to access the Collaboratory 1 and the page you have tried to access does not have a specific redirection (Or you stumbled here from a search page :) ). The Collaboratory 1 has officially been deprecated and shutdown which is why you are being redirected in the first place.

Shutdown reason

Web tools have significantly evolved since 2013 when the initial HBP Collaboratory was conceived. In 2018, the team decided to redesign the Collaboratory based on existing third party tools in order to bring users more features with the same resources. The Collaboratory 2 has been ramping up since early 2020. The deprecation of Collaboratory 1 was announced months ago and the shutdown date was set to September 8th, 2021 at 18:00 CEST.

Authentication service

The OIDC authentication service that is part of Collaboratory 1 will continue running for a few more days but that service will also be shut down before the end of September 2021.

Collaboratory 1 content

All users of the Collaboratory 1 were informed of the shutdown and multiple migrathon events were held to assist users in migrating content from Collaboratory 1 to Collaboratory 2. Many collabs in Collaboratory 1 have been redirected to specific pages within Collaboratory 2. If you've come to this page, the specific collab you were looking for has not been redirected. Please try the search feature (magnifying glass icon) at the top to locate content in Collaboratory 2. If that does not help, you can contact support.
