The Next platform

You can configure a complete data donation participant flow on the Next platform. The Next platform can be used through a Software-as-a-Service agreement with Eyra. Click here for more information about terms and pricing.

As Next is available open source, we offer researchers in the Netherlands the opportunity to independently host the Next platform on SURF Research Cloud.

The donate task

Crucial in a data donation participant flow is the donate task. The part where participants are going to donate their data. You can create a donate task with Python yourself using our documentation. We can offer you the following support:

• Help when you have questions or run into issues when developing your script.
• You can join our Slack community with other Python script developers.
• We can help and assist you in creating your own data donation task.
