Our EPOS colleagues have organized an international workshop focusing on the ways that research infrastructures need to develop to meet future challenges. (For further details about the workshop, see http://www.epos-eu.org/meetings/41st-workshop-of-the-international-school-of-geophysics.html)
For the earth sciences, defining the cornerstones for a global infrastructure is vitally important since, most of the time, EPOS researchers need to integrate data from a multitude of sensors located all over the world, and then use the data for smart real-time analytics to produce better predictions of, for example, volcanic activity or tectonic shifts. Therefore this workshop is of interest to EUDAT and other research infrastructures working on cross-disciplinary data challenges.
