EMSO is delighted to announce its participation in the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2025, taking place in Vienna from 27 April to 2 May 2025. The conference brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences.
Members of the EMSO ERIC will be at the EGU to present the Research Infrastructure, its services and its commitment in fostering innovation in ocean observation.
In particular, EMSO will showcase its activities and capacities in i) the booths 64 and 65, ii) the session ITS1.17/ESSI4.1 and iii) the ENVRINNOV Innovation training.
1- EMSO at the booths for Environmental Research Infrastructures – ENVRI
EMso will b e visible at Booths 64 and 65, prominently located at the entrance to the conference venue. The booths will serve as a hub for showcasing the capabilities and contributions of Environmental Research Infrastructures, presenting projects and engaging with the geoscience community through discussions, materials, presentations, and activities.
When and where: Lunch Talk | May 1 , 13:15-13:25 | ENVRI booth (Booths 64 and 65)
What: EMSO Academy: Advancing Marine Science Expertise
From summer school to training, the EMSO opportunities for enhancing skills in marine science

2- EMSO in Session ITS1.17/ESSI4.1
Inter- and Transdisciplinary Studies of the Geosphere: challenges and new perspectives
Convener: Fabrice Cotton | Co-conveners: Federica Tanlongo, Ingrid Puillat, Klaus Tobias Mosbacher, Lilli Freda
The advancement of Open Science and the affordability of computing services allow for the discovery and processing of large amounts of information, boosting data integration from diverse scientific domains and blurring traditional discipline boundaries. However, data are often heterogeneous in format and provenance, and the capacity to combine them and extract new knowledge to address scientific and societal problems relies on standardisation, integration and interoperability.
Key enablers of the OS paradigm are ESFRI Research infrastructures, of which ECCSEL (www.eccsel.org), EMSO (https://emso.eu/) and EPOS (www.epos-eu.org), are examples currently enhancing FAIRness and integration within the Geo-INQUIRE project. Thanks to decades of work in data standardisation, integration and interoperability, they enable scientists to combine data from different disciplines and data sources into innovative research to solve scientific and societal questions.
But while data-driven science is ripe with opportunity to groundbreaking inter- and transdisciplinary results, many challenges and barriers remain.
This session aims to foster scientific cross-fertilization exploring real-life scientific studies and research experiences from scientists and ECS in Environmental Sciences.
When and Where: | Wednesday, 30 Apr, 08:35–08:45 | Room 2.24
What: Oral presentation: Cross-fertilization across research infrastructures within Geo-INQUIRE: plans, ongoing activities and future perspectives

3 – EMSO at the ENVRINNOV Innovation training – session 1
Convener: Ariane Dubost | Co-convener: Valentina Tegas
Wednesday, 30 Apr, 08:30–12:30 (CEST) |Room 2.61
The Horizon Europe-funded project “ENVRINNOV – ENVironment Research Infrastructures Innovation Roadmap,” is working towards developing a common Innovation Roadmap for the environmental research infrastructures (ENVRIs) community. As part of the project, a series of capacity building sessions is being developed to promote collaboration and establish a shared understanding of Innovation concepts and processes in the ENVRI community, including on Technology Development, Technology Transfer, and Industrial Approach.
The session will take place during EGU and aims to:
– Provide a general introduction to the concept of innovation in the context of ENVRIs, and how it can benefit RIs and the ecosystem.
– Demonstrate how the ENVRINNOV project can support ENVRIs in their innovation process.
– Explore ways of enhancing communication and collaboration between ENVRIs and the private sector as a means to accelerate innovation.
