# 4. Support and communication

## 4.1. Engagement Team

As the first line of support for Data Holders, the **Engagement Team** will reach out to them to start the Onboarding process to the EUCAIM Federation.

* The **Engagement Team Coordinator** will focus on coordinating the relationships with the Data Holders by providing them with the information and resources that will guide them through each step of the onboarding process as well as collecting information from their centre’s current situation.
* Each DH’s DPO will be contacted by the **Engagement Team’s legal support team** directly to address the legal requirements. DH’s will also be assigned with one of the **Engagement Team’s technicians** that will support them in any technical matter, but this will be mainly addressed also via the - Helpdesk which will be explained as follows.

## 4.2. Helpdesk

The information on the usage of the platform is available in different sources:

* The dashboard profile pages for general awareness of the platform functionality and purpose, as well as of the user profiles
* The GitBooks of the EUCAIM platform, where usage of the services is detailed.
* The Youtube channel, with videos and tutorials.
* The Training platform, with courses for the different user profiles
* The HelpDesk, for requesting support when facing issues or when direct interaction is required (e.g. for requesting the uploading data, registering a dataset, etc.).
