The new great review of Storj DCS by Prof. Portelli made it clear that Storj DCS is a great storage for large datasets that need to be shared around the world by research and scientific communities.
The big question is, how Storj can come into contact with those and offer Storj DCS as storage to them.
I came across an European initiative that aims to bring together providers of all kinds with users from research, science and universities to form an open cloud for sharing and accessing research data the European Open Science Cloud
They offer a marketplace which is more like a catalogue, where Storj could try to register as service provider and offer Storj DCS as resource in the storage category.
Just as an example, the German provider Deutsche Telekom already offers one of their storage products through this channel: Open Telekom Cloud.
Also CloudFerro is already offering services on that platform and maybe through such a channel Storj could also come into contact with companies like that who might be interested in the distributed way of storing big data for great performance to offer to their customers.

Maybe you want to make the team aware of this. To me this looks like an interesting option to get in contact with users from science and research who might be interested in the specific capabilities that Storj DCS offers.
