3		-The EBRAINS Collaboratory provides scientists an online environment to identify fellow researchers, form teams, coordinate collaborations, develop live code (in Jupyter Notebooks), document methodology and results (in Wiki and Office files), store data, and publish work in a safe environment which is entirely self-hosted. Work is organized around workspaces, known as collabs, which are created for each team or project.

	9	+The EBRAINS Collaboratory is developed in the HBP project. A major modernization of the Collaboratory was initiated in 2019. Collaboratory 1 has been deprecated and will be shutdown by Sep 2021; we will be supporting content providers in migrating their content to Collaboratory 2 until then. In the mean time, a lot of precious content can be found in Collaboratory 1.

9	9	A collab is a workspace inside the Collaboratory. A collab extends across multiple services to share its content with a team of users who have set permissions within that collab. The most intuitive entry point for a collab is its wiki home page. From this page, users can:
