Sensors and Drones in Atmospheric Sciences: Training Schools by ATMO-ACCESS

November 11-15, 2024

The Cyprus Institute campus in Nicosia (Cyprus) and Empa campus near Zurich (Switzerland)

The ATMO-ACCESS project supports innovative training and education activities related to atmospheric research infrastructures. It is crucial for the future success of European atmospheric facilities to ensure that new generations of researchers acquire knowledge and skills to take advantage of all the essential tools for their research. These two hybrid Training Schools will run in parallel and focus on the operation and scientific exploitation of sensor systems used in urban and remote areas for ground-based applications (Autumn School at EMPA, Switzerland) and on drones (Autumn School at the Cyprus Institute, Cyprus).

This intensive course is suitable for both M.Sc. and Ph.D. students in atmospheric and Earth system sciences who are working with sensor data from atmospheric variables, related to climate change and air pollution.

The application deadline is July 26th, 2024. The list of accepted applicants will be published on the ATMO-ACCESS website  latest by mid September 2024.

The Data we need for the Ocean we care for – Satellite event at 2024 UN Ocean Decade Conference

Blue-Cloud Event
9 April 2024 17:00–18:30
World Trade Center, Room 9-10, Barcelona, Spain

Data collection, analysis and application are key enablers for ocean data innovation. Data integration/interoperability is needed. A workshop organised as an off-site event of the 2024 UN Ocean Decade Conference, 9 April 2024 in Barcelona, Spain, will deep dive into cases of success in data sharing practices from European research infrastructures, and how to maximise this potential at global level for contributing to the SDGs and the Digital Twins of the Ocean programmes.

The workshop will be opened by the European Commission’s Directorate-General Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) and will showcase best practices of marine data federation  from the Blue-Cloud2026 and the iMAGINE European projects, with specific insights on applications for marine biology and the fishery domain. With input by EMODnet, Copernicus Marine and leading marine research infrastructures, Blue-Cloud (https://blue-cloud.org) is contributing to the open science transformation by an easier discovery and access of blue data, open to all to implement open science and AI. The iMagine initiative (https://www.imagine-ai.eu/) provides a portfolio of image datasets, high-performance image analysis tools empowered with Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Best Practice documents for scientific image analysis.

The OceanTeacher Global Academy (OTGA) and the Ocean Best Practices System (OBPS) of IOC/UNESCO will also join the workshop to dive into the education and training needs to ensure data management practices and standards are put in place at a global level.

Last but not least, representatives from the European Digital Twins of the Ocean (EU DTO) Programme and its global counterpart, the DITTO programme, will complement with insights from the global efforts to build awareness around the ensuring cross-regional data sharing towards the development of digital twins of the ocean.

Open and FAIR environmental data for societal benefits, an ENVRI-FAIR policy event

June 20 @ 2:45 pm – 4:45 pm

 

The ENVRI-FAIR project (2019–2023) is coming to an end, and the achieved results are impressive. In a community effort, the European environmental Research Infrastructures have converged towards the provision of fully open and FAIR data and services that are crucial to provide solutions for the major challenges of our planet: climate change and its impacts on the Earth system, our ability to respond to and predict natural hazards, and our understanding and prevention of ecosystem loss. This event will highlight the main achievements of the ENVRI Community and their concrete applications to benefit our societies. It will open up for future ways to increase the societal impact of the European environmental cluster.

The event will take place on 20.6.2023, from 14:45-16:45 CEST, online and at Lund University, room Lux Aula, Helgonavägen 3 223 62 Lund, Sweden.

EOSC Future Train-the-Trainer Active Learning Course

June 26 @ 10:00 am – June 29 @ 12:00 pm

The EOSC Future project is excited to announce its Train-the-Trainer Active Learning Course online June 26-29 2023, 10.00 – 12:00 CEST. This four-day online course covers four different modules for trainers to enhance their understanding of EOSC and various related topics alongside their ability to integrate it into their training activities.

The first module, Preparing to Train about EOSC, will provide trainers with an overview of EOSC, its role in enabling open science, and its main components. The second module, Using the EOSC Portal, will delve into the various services and functionalities available on the EOSC Portal and how trainers can utilise them in their training activities. The third module, Addressing Legal and Ethical Issues relating to EOSC Use, will cover the legal and ethical issues involved in EOSC use, and the ways in which trainers can address these issues in their training activities. Finally, the fourth module, Crafting your own Training using the EOSC Knowledge Hub and Other Resources, will provide trainers with hands-on experience in creating their own training using EOSC resources and the EOSC Knowledge Hub.

Trainers can sign up for one, all, or a combination of the modules, depending on their interests and needs. The course will be delivered online via Zoom from 26-29 June 2023.

Registration is open until 19 June 2023 on the event page. As there is limited space for participants, registration may close early when the maximum attendance list is reached. Should you not be available on these dates, look forward to a repeat of this course from 11-16 September 2023!
