The EGI Federation of clusters and research clouds are components of the European Open Science Cloud, and they offer technical solutions and an infrastructure to support the EuroGEOSS pilots, GEOSS and EO data exploitation platforms. Learn how, by looking at the collaboration of EGI with NextGEOSS, the production support of the Geohazards TEP of Terradue and the EOSC-hub collaboration with GEOSS.

1. EOSC-hub receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 777536.

The EOSC-hub project mobilises providers of pan-
European relevance offering services, software and
data for advanced data-driven research and
innovation.
These resources are offered via the Hub – the
integration and management system of the
European Open Science Cloud, acting as
a European-level entry point for all stakeholders.

ECOPotential VLab: managing protected
environments
• Europe’s protected areas and surrounds are
vulnerable to human-induced events and
processes including those associated with
climate change.
• As an example, the biodiversity of Doñana
National Park in Spain is affected by
agricultural expansion, and urban
development and climatic variability with all
impacting on water supply.
• Whilst large amounts of Earth Observation
data are available, these are vastly
underexploited for monitoring changes and
implementing management actions aimed
at nature conservation and sustainable and
wise use.

22. It’s a data driven systematic processing. The
service has followed a ramp-up process starting
from Dec 2016 until Aug 2017:
■ EU Tectonic area
■ World tectonic area (25%)
■ World tectonic area (40%)
It currently processes 150+ Sentinel-1 SLC pairs
per day.

- Access services via harmonised
access policies and Service Level
Agreements. Depending on the
customer’s needs, access will be
provided through a centrally
managed credit-based allocation
system and/or through long-term
resource allocation.
- Leverage a large portfolio of
generic and thematic services via
standard interfaces
- Pilot
Providers
- Contribute to EOSC with services
based on a harmonised corpus of
access, security and provisioning
policies.
- Federate services by relying on
harmonised processes and tools
for service integration and
management.
- Scale-up in-house capacity by
procuring services via a centrally
run procurement and purchase
framework.
- Participate in service enabling with

• The European Open Science Cloud will progressively federate research
data, applications, software and the computing facilities across Europe and
beyond, requiring data and service interoperability
- Co-provisioning of computing to data, with single sign own access
- Advanced data management and high-performance access technologies
• EOSC-hub interested in supporting the EuroGEOSS programme with DIAS
- Adoption of common standards of integrated DIAS and EOSC will allow
coordinated support to EuroGEOSS pilots from testing to go-to-market phase
