eSpaces is closing down
The eSpaces platform will be retiring on 5 August 2021, after 9 years in operation. We appreciate you using our service.
If you are still actively using eSpaces and haven't been contacted by JCU's eResearch Centre team, please contact us immediately.
If you are from JCU, there are a variety of other tools and data storage platforms available to help support your research, as mentioned in the JCU Library's Research Data Management Toolkit.
If you are from another institution, AARNet's Cloudstor offers large-scale storage and sharing of data, collaborative document editing, data processing and visualisation tools and more. Otherwise, consult your organisation's research services office, local eResearch team or your regional AeRO Member organisation to learn which options are most suitable to you.
eSpaces is an intuitive web platform for research collaboration.

All the good bits
Researchers can easily create eSpaces – web-based sites – that allow content, files, and pages to be stored securely, with the flexibility of access via the web and mobile devices. The system provides granular permissions, allowing a range of types of security. This makes eSpaces perfect for spanning a range of researcher needs, from public-facing research portfolio or project pages, through to a secure collaborative environment, and anything in between.
