European Plate Observing System Sustainability Phase

Basic Info

Description

The future and security of humankind dwelling on Planet Earth depend on our ability to live and cope with the complex Earth system in all its dimensions. Our ability to monitor the surface and subsurface of the Earth and to forecast catastrophic events and their impacts on society is increasingly pertinent as our society develops. Earth system processes transcend national boundaries and the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) brings the solid Earth networks in Europe into a single distributed research infrastructure. EPOS has been designed with the vision and the mission of creating a pan-European infrastructure for solid Earth science relying on novel e-science concepts to provide virtual access to data and services as well as physical access to facilities for a broad community of users.
The innovation potential of the EPOS infrastructure involves enabling the use of multidisciplinary solid Earth science data, data products and services relying on national research infrastructures distributed across the whole Europe. The overall objective of the EPOS Sustainability Phase (EPOS SP) project is to ensure the long-term sustainability of the EPOS Research Infrastructure. The EPOS SP project is timely in the EPOS RI lifecycle because it will consolidate the long-term operational perspective of EPOS ERIC and the EPOS Delivery Framework. EPOS SP is addressing all aspects of sustainability to tackle the challenge of moving from technical and financial viability to long-term sustainability.
    
ZRC SAZU is involved in WP2 Governance and Financial Framework (Task 2.1 Engaging National Authorities in EPOS and enlarging the EPOS ERIC membership) and in WP7 Outreach and Training (Task 7.2 Outreach on operation of EPOS services).
ZRC SAZU je vključen v WP2 Vodenje in finančni okvir (Naloga 2.1 Vključevanje nacionalnih organizacij v EPOS in širjenje članstva v EPOS ERIC) in v WP7 Dosežki in izobraževanje (Naloga 7.2 Dosežki pri delovanju EPOS servisov).

On June 8th, 2022 we hosted at the Karst Research institute ZRC SAZU the hybrid meeting "EPOS SP Project Workshop - Integration of EPOS ERIC new members". The workshop was dedicated to present the possibilities for future collaboration between Slovenia, N Italy and Croatia in EPOS ERIC and to enlarge international cooperation with other research infrastructures, Earth science and e-science initiatives, establishing and maintaining excellence, focusing in the area of three countries. The event was gathered 34 participants from five countries of which 22 were joining on site.
