TCS AH workshop on the EPISODES Platform as part of the Geo-INQUIRE project

On April 10 and 11, 2024, in Krakow, at the AGH Main Library a two-day workshop on the use of the EPISODES Platform https://episodesplatform.eu/ took place. The workshop was organized as the side event of the conference "The Polish Open Science Conference 2024", organized by the Academic Computer Center Cyfronet AGH.

The workshop was organized and conducted by the Institute of Geophysics PAS Team as part of the Work Package 9 (Fostering cross-disciplinary research of the Earth through training and workshops) of the Geo-INQUIRE (Geosphere INfrastructures for QUESTIONS into Integrated REsearch) project.

Geo-INQUIRE project is carried out at the institute at IG PAS under the supervision of Prof. Mariusz Majdański, under framework of the Horizon Europe program, provides and enhances access to selected key data, products, and services, enabling the dynamic processes within the geosphere to be monitored and modelled at new levels of spatial and temporal detail and precision. Geo-INQUIRE aims to overcome cross-domain barriers, especially the land-sea-atmosphere environments, and will exploit innovative data management techniques, modelling and simulations methods, developments in AI and big data, and extend existing data infrastructures to disseminate these resources to the wider scientific community, including the EOSC landscape.

One of the elements of this infrastructure is the infrastructure managed by the EPOS Thematic Core Service Anthropogenic Hazards Consortium (TCS AH), the most important element of which is the EPISODES Platform. The workshop was conducted by Grzegorz Lizurek, and Helena Ciechowska, from the Department of Seismology, IG PAS.

Participants of "The Polish Open Science Conference 2024" had opportunity to participate in the workshop and listen to the presentation on FAIR data concept. The Polish Open Science Conference is a unique event in Poland, devoted to issues related to various aspects of Open Science, bringing together all stakeholders related to the collection, sharing and management of research data, creation of repositories and scientific infrastructures, development of initiatives related to EOSC, sharing publications, articles and monographs in Open Access, as well as issues related to openness in the context of scientific evaluation.

Dr Lena Thöle from Utrecht University Library, who represented the Geo-INQUIRE project team, delivered speech during the conference. The presentation entitled "How to make your data FAIR - and what gets in the way" discussed very important aspects of scientific data management under the FAIR concept (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

The presentation titled: "Thematic Core Service Anthropogenic Hazards, history, activities, EPOS - the way to the research excellence" was delivered by Anna Leśnodorska, Head of the IG PAS TCS Coordination Department. Anna Leśnodorska presented the concept of open science and open data implemented by the TCS AH Consortium and made available through the TCS AH infrastructure.
