Join the EUDAT conference 2018
After the success of the previous EUDAT conference in Amsterdam which brought together more than 300 participants, we are ready to kick-off 2018 with the EUDAT conference "Putting the EOSC vision into practice". The conference takes place in the stunning location of Porto, Portugal from the 23rd to the 25th of January 2018.
Why join?
The conference will:
Discuss the progress of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the European Data Infrastructure (EDI) and the contribution of EUDAT as well as other infrastructures to these two initiatives;
Showcase the latest trends in data infrastructure and data management solutions for research;
Demo the solutions developed by EUDAT to address researchers and research communities’ data management needs, through concrete pilots;
Inform about the concrete opportunities offered by the newly established EUDAT Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI) to the service providers and research communities.
Additionally, it will give you the opportunity to showcase your work to an audience of community decision-makers and data managers, scientists and research communities, policy-makers, e-Infrastructure projects, research infrastructures and ESFRI projects during a poster & demo session (Submissions open until 30 November 2017).
Finally, it will host a set of co-located workshops covering different topics and disciplines to complement the main programme. The co-located workshops will be announced soon!

The EUDAT team is pleased to announce the release of the beta version of the Generic Execution Framework (GEF). The trend towards larger data volumes exacerbates the problem of costly and time consuming data transfers to off-site data processing locations. The EUDAT GEF enables you to deploy your containerised scientific tools to computational resources in close proximity to the input data in order to minimise overall data transfer costs for your research community. The EUDAT GEF enables execution of containerized software tools on data stored in the EUDAT...
Access to marine data is of vital importance for marine research and a key issue for various studies, from the climate change prediction to off shore engineering. SeaDataCloud is a new project funded by the European Commission to considerably advance the SeaDataNet Services and increase their usage, adopting cloud and High Performance Computing technology for better performance. The SeaDataCloud project has recently entered into a strategic and technical cooperation with the EUDAT consortium, with which it will collaborate to build upon the state of the art in ICT and e-infrastructures for data, computing and networking. EUDAT participates...
Libraries and librarians are playing a pivotal role in enabling services and nurturing practices in support of a more open and transparent approach to research. In this context, libraries and librarians are increasingly called up on to help managing the ever increasing quantities of data produced by research groups and communities. This workshop aimed at discussing how RDA, EUDAT and LIBER are collaborating to provide high-quality data management services and practices to researchers...
EUDAT has endorsed the Data Seal of Approval and is actively engaged in it. Recently ICSU World Data System (ICSU-WDS) and the Data Seal of Approval (DSA) have announced the launch of a new certification organization: CoreTrustSeal. The CoreTrustSeal Board offers all interested data repositories a core-level certification based on the DSA–WDS Core Trustworthy Data Repositories Requirements catalogue and procedures. CoreTrustSeal Data Repository certification replaces the DSA certification and the WDS certification of Regular Members. The CoreTrustSeal is a community-based nonprofit organization promoting sustainable and trustworthy data infrastructures...
