OpenAIRE and CNR IGG Collaboration
The e-Infrastructure Assembly is the structured collaboration of five pan-European digital service providers: OpenAIRE, EGI, EUDAT, GÉANT, and PRACE. Together, they provide and connect local, regional, European and thematic research data centres, data repositories, archives and computing infrastructures as well as universities and other organisations and employ teams of experts with the aim of enabling the advancement of science and innovation. The e-Infrastructures and their members provide an ecosystem of services in which research, innovation, collaboration and coordinated service delivery efforts are aligned with EOSC at the local, national and European level.
For over a decade, they have contributed to the development of EOSC through INFRAEOSC projects and participation in EOSC task forces which guided and aligned the process both contextually and theoretically. Concurrently, Assembly members have strengthened their collaboration with research communities and organisations, focusing on the development, construction and operation of services and underlying infrastructure for the research data life cycle, as well as for the management of the web of FAIR data. These form the basis of the EOSC EU Node, and, since they are readily integrated in the EOSC framework, they are now also available to prospective EOSC Federation nodes.
Learn more about the e-Infrastructures Assembly in the collaboration announcement.OpenAIRE and CNR IGG teams will collaborate to describe RD&I in the geothermal sector. In this regard, a detailed and comprehensive collection of information from past and actual RD&I projects and activities will be carried out. Information includes, e.g. EU project deliverables, datasets, open access scientific publications (and possibly funds for research projects, performance indicators, prototypes and patents). The information will be provided by using an updated version of EGRISE (European Geothermal Research and Innovation Search Engine), which was an information web-based platform already developed. The updated version of EGRISE will benefit from the constantly updated OpenAIRE infrastructure and by exploiting the OpenAIRE CONNECT portal capabilities to harvest information from different repositories and then be tuned to reap the meta information of each single research product.
OpenAIRE will offer a CONNECT gateway as a single entry point to all research outputs Relevant to the Geothermal community and a MONITOR dashboard to track the trends of geothermal research in terms of funded projects and products. CNR IGG will configure the CONNECT Gateway and the MONITOR Dashboard according to its needs, and will manually curate the relevant research products that cannot be automatically identified as relevant for the community.
