Keeping open infrastructure open: The SCOSS 4th pledging round info session - 29/03/2023

  • By Rosie Allison

About the event

Signifying the crucial importance of publication and data repositories and the metadata registries that support their discovery and interoperability, Dryad, LA Referencia, and the Research Organization Registry (ROR) were selected as targets for the fourth round of crowdfunding from SCOSS.

In this webinar, you will hear from representatives of the three infrastructures introducing their organisations and their paths towards sustainability. This will be followed by a panel discussion with representatives from research libraries and library consortia who will talk more about their motivations and experiences in funding open infrastructure, and how SCOSS facilitates this process. There will be time for questions from the audience during a Q&A session.

Who can join?

Participants will learn how libraries and their consortia are committing to securing open infrastructure and why, whilst hearing about specific SCOSS-selected infrastructures that need our help to remain open, independent and community-led. Join the webinar to...

2023 Tender EOSC DIH

  • By Gwen Franck

Tender announcement

Purchase of software services for image analysis in phenological research with implementation, licensing, support and maintenance

The EOSC Digital Innovation Hub (EOSC DIH), through the EOSC Future project, is working towards fostering innovation within EOSC, buying products or services (co-)developed by commercial companies in collaboration with the EOSC DIH and the EOSC communities. EOSC DIH explored the needs and requirements of the research communities and clusters. Among the expressions of interest received, EOSC DIH selected the one provided by Poznán University of Life Sciences (PULS), Poland.

PULS is looking for an IT tool to facilitate image acquisition management,image storage, and image analysis, using Machine Learning methods. Currently, scientists have to use separate IT tools for each of these stages, and the proposed solution will be characterised by flexibility allowing to extend the utilitarian potential of this tool in the directions of further environmental research (e.g. landscape analysis), agricultural...

Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment and Labs Open Info Day

  • By Federico Drago

The Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment (VRE) is an Open Science platform for collaborative marine research, using a wide variety of datasets and analytical tools, complemented by generic services such as sub-setting, pre-processing, harmonising, publishing and visualisation.

The VRE hosts different Virtual Labs, which users can access with existing credentials in EOSC, the European Open Science Cloud. Multi-disciplinary datasets retrieved from the Blue-Cloud Data Discovery & Access Service can be exploited in the VRE. All methods and services in the Catalogue are exchanged with the EOSC Portal Catalogue & Marketplace.

Researchers work closely together with the Blue-Cloud 2026 technical team to describe thematic Virtual Lab workflows and technical requirements, in order to implement them in the Blue-Cloud VRE and further test its capabilities on specific topics.

In this webinar, Blue-Cloud experts are going to show how to use the VRE, as well as to demonstrate a practical example of thematic Virtual Lab. Marine researchers across different sectors will be able...
