Project description
Collaborative research environment for climate change adaptation
Climate change adaptation is a critical research area, but efforts are hindered by fragmented platforms, loose interaction of data spaces, and limited interoperability. The EU-funded CLIMATE-ADAPT4EOSC project aims to establish a collaborative research environment within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), focusing on seamless data integration and service compatibility. The project will enhance existing data and tools, adhering to FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) practices, and facilitate open data publication to support big climate-adaptation data analytics focused on tool and service development. Key project outputs include a climate adaptation ontology, an EOSC climate-adapt knowledge graph, five interoperability frameworks, and an AI-driven analytics tool. Three innovative application domains are designed to advance the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change.
Objective
Adaptation to climate change has become a central focus for researchers across various fields, including climate science, environmental science, urban planning, information science and social science, to support policymakers in making informed decisions to build a climate-prepared and resilient society. The major challenges in achieving this goal are (i) lack of seamless interaction between platforms, data spaces, and users, (ii) poor data interoperability as well as service interoperability, (iii) lack of infrastructural support for generating FAIR data, and (iv) legal barriers hindering access to data. CLIMATE-ADAPT4EOSC aims to overcome these challenges by providing an EOSC-centred collaborative research environment equipped with existing EOSC data and services and extended with new data and services, such as Interoperability, FAIRification, Research Results Publishing as Open Data, Data Adaptation, Data Format Compliancy, Mapping and Entity Matching, enabling interoperability and seamless interaction of data that allow the creation of extended services, e.g. Big Data Analytics for climate risk assessments. The project develops a climate change adaption ontology and an EOSC Climate-Adapt Knowledge Graph based on the ontology, supporting findability, accessibility, tracking and life cycle management of research outputs of various kinds, including data, scientific papers, methods, code, software packages and tools. CLIMATE-ADAPT4EOSC also develops three innovative services that provides support to EU Mission climate change adaptation and the European Green Deal. These services have been planned to be demonstrated in Five EU countries.
