Open infrastructures – innovation exploitation. Statement by Dr Kimmo Koski

E-infrastructures have been long recognized as a “crucial asset underpinning European research and innovation policies” and will play a major role in realizing the objectives of the Digital Single Market, boosting innovation and enabling the digital economy. e-Infrastructures are a key driver of the open science agenda. By providing the tools to support digital research and embracing open access policies, they enable scientific enquiry to be freely shared and made public for scrutiny and re-use. Through their geographically distributed nature, e-Infrastructures also...

Making data about greenhouse gases widely available via ICOS and EUDAT

The outcome of the Paris Climate Change Conference at the end of November 2015 is regarded by many as crucial for the future of the Earth. Regardless of what is decided, it will be very important to accurately monitor the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the coming decades. Maggie Hellström, from the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science at Lund University in Sweden, is also a staff member of the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) Carbon Portal. The portal is the data centre of the ICOS research infrastructure, which plays a vital role in collecting data about greenhouse gases in Europe....
