EPOS IP Project: TCS - ICS Integration Workshop
The Workshop main goals are to finalize the contents of the "Data, Data product, Software and Services Catalogue", to...
EPOS aims at creating a pan-European infrastructure for solid Earth science to support a safe and sustainable society. EPOS will enable innovative multidisciplinary research for a better understanding of the Earth’s physical and chemical processes that control earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, ground instability, tsunami, and all those processes driving tectonics and Earth’s surface dynamics. Through the integration of research infrastructures and data, EPOS will allow scientists to make a step change in developing new geo-hazards and geo-resources concepts and Earth science applications to help address key societal challenges.
HOW EPOS IS EVOLVING
To accomplish the EPOS mission, a long-term integration plan is necessary. The EPOS Implementation Phase builds on the achievements of the successful EPOS Preparatory Phase and will see the 4-year EPOS IP project and the establishment of the EPOS-ERIC legal entity.
EPOS IP project implements an operational and sustainable platform of Earth science services.
By 2018, EPOS is expected to be a legal entity: the EPOS ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium)
Easy-to-find data and data products, tools for visualization, processing and analysis will drive research and science forward
EPOS will give scientists, decision makers and the public better access to the latest information for hazard assessment and risk mitigation
EPOS will simplify and streamline access to multidisciplinary Earth science data, products and services for Geo-resource management
