Workshop Overview
The Blue-Cloud Horizon Europe project is introducing a federated model where Blue research infrastructures (RIs) and other data and service infrastructures and technological providers make their services available to the community via agreed, FAIR formats and technology that the Open Science Community in Europe (under the umbrella of EOSC) recommends or accepts.
The Blue-Cloud collaborative environment allows researchers to retrieve marine data, exploit them in the VRE, access distributed cloud resources, exploit analytical services and interdisciplinary Virtual Labs. Blue-Cloud is offering e-infrastructure services (computing, storage, analytics, SSO, AAI, generic service), a data discovery service (10M+ datasets and products from European marine infrastructures such as EMODnet, SeaDataNet, Copernicus, Ecotaxa and others), and research-intensive virtual labs, embedded in a Virtual Research Environment open to any users with federated identity to the marine research community in Europe (and beyond).
In this workshop, we aim at assessing Blue-Cloud federated services towards the needs and challenges of other research infrastructures active in marine and climate research, ultimately stimulating a debate around the impact of open science federation in practice.
Who is this workshop for
The Blue-Cloud first federation workshop is by invitation. Invited participants are the Blue Data Infrastructures contributing to the Blue-Cloud service offer, and managers, decision makers, service and data providers at other Research Infrastructures (RIs), projects and initiatives working on marine, environmental and climate related topics.
