Data and services to support marine and freshwater scientists and stakeholders - AquaINFRA

Contact: Dr. Jörg Meyer
Funding: EU
since 2023-01-01 - 2026-12-31
Project page: aquainfra.eu

The AquaINFRA project aims to develop a virtual environment equipped with FAIR multi-disciplinary data and services to support marine and freshwater scientists and stakeholders restoring healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters. The AquaINFRA virtual environment will enable the target stakeholders to store, share, access, analyse and process research data and other research digital objects from their own discipline, across research infrastructures, disciplines and national borders leveraging on EOSC and the other existing operational dataspaces. Besides supporting the ongoing development of the EOSC as an overarching research infrastructure, AquaINFRA is addressing the specific need for enabling researchers from the marine and freshwater communities to work and collaborate across those two domains.

Implementation of an InfraStructure for dAta-BasEd Learning in environmental sciences - ISABEL

Contact: Dr. Jörg Meyer
Funding: DFG
since 2022-12-01 - 2025-11-30

The amount and diversity of digitally available environmental data is continuously increasing.  However, they are often hardly accessible or scientifically usable. The datasets frequently lack sufficient metadata description, are stored in a variety of data formats, and are still saved on local storage devices instead of data portals or repositories. Based on the virtual research environment V-FOR-WaTer, which was developed in a previous project, ISABEL aims at making this data abundance available in an easy-to-use web portal. Environmental scientists get access to data from different sources, e.g. state offices or university projects, and can share their own data through the portal. Integrated tools help to easily pre-process and scale the data and make them available in a consistent format. Further tools for more complex scientific analyses will be included. These are both implemented by the developers of the portal according to the requirements of the scientific community and contributed directly by the portal’s users. The possibility to store workflows together with the tools and respective data ensures reproducible data analysis. Additionally, interfaces with existing data repositories enable easy publication of the scientists’ data directly from the portal. ISABEL addresses the needs of researchers of hydrology and environmental science to not only find and access datasets but also conduct efficient data-based learning with standardised tools and reproducible workflows.

Gaia-X4 for the Innovations Campus Future Mobility - Gaia-X4ICM

Contact: Klaus Scheibenberger
Funding: MWK
since 2022-06-01 - 2024-12-31
Project page: www.icm-bw.de

The Gaia-X is an European initiative that aims to provide a secure and trustworthy platform for data sharing and collaboration across various industries and sectors in Europe. One of the main goals of the Gaia-X4ICM research initiative for the Innovations Campus Future Mobility (ICM) is to create the basic infrastructure with all necessary hardware and software components that play a significant role in connecting various sectors involved in an industrial production process. The SCC builds and runs such a cloud infrastructure that operates on our own hardware retaining control over the digital infrastructure and data – ensuring data sovereignty, privacy and security.
