Project description
Optimising EPOS, the pan-European Research Infrastructure for solid Earth Science
The European Plate Observing System (EPOS) is the sole pan-European Research Infrastructure for solid Earth Science, providing open access to high-quality data, products, and services. The EU-funded EPOS ON project builds upon previous EU initiatives to enhance the EPOS Research Infrastructure (RI). Its goal is to contirbute to the long-term sustainability of the EPOS RI by creating value for the scientific and IT communities, generating new insights for addressing societal challenges, and expanding access to data and services. The project aims to broaden user engagement and foster community collaborations to meet their needs. Additionally, it seeks to bridge the gap between science and the private sector by facilitating knowledge transfer and technological innovation.
Objective
The European Plate Observing System (EPOS) is the sole distributed pan-European Research Infrastructure (RI) for solid Earth Science, enabling open access to high-quality, multidisciplinary data, products, and services. Based on the achievements of the previous EU projects on the design, implementation, and pre-operation of the EPOS RI, the EPOS ON project will support the consolidation of the infrastructure and pave the way for its further evolution. The project will enable the EPOS RI to meet long-term sustainability conditions for operation, relying on its ability to create value for the scientific and IT communities and to produce new insights for contributing to societal challenges related to risk management and environmental impact reduction. EPOS ON aims to enhance the EPOS services portfolio and develop new institutional and scientific collaborations by fulfilling the needs of different communities and by encouraging the establishment of new EPOS Thematic Core Services. This will provide the necessary impulse to expand access to data and services to a wider pool of users, in particular early career researchers, at both the European and global scale. User engagement will also increase thanks to the new generation of processing and workflow services developed during the project. EPOS ON is also devoted to shortening the gap between science and the private sector by enabling knowledge transfer and technological innovation. As a result, EPOS ON will reinforce the EPOS capability to unite scientific communities and countries, reducing fragmentation in the European Research Area. EPOS ON offers a timely opportunity for the optimization and evolution of the EPOS RI and reflects the strong commitment of its community to boosting EPOS impact.
