Description
Europe hosts a vibrant cluster of Environmental Research Infrastructures (ENVRIs), serving a diverse community committed to tackling today’s most pressing environmental challenges. These infrastructures play a crucial role in advancing Europe’s strategic actions to achieve climate neutrality. The project ENVRI-Hub NEXT builds on years of collaboration to provide interoperable datasets, services, knowledge base supported by AI driven search engine and training across key Earth system domains—atmosphere, marine, ecosystems, and solid Earth—while leveraging advanced distributed e-infrastructures such as EGI.
This keynote will explore the technical foundations of the ENVRI-Hub gateway and its role in enabling environmental research infrastructures (RIs) to jointly investigate the full chain—from essential climate variables to global climate indicators and Earth system feedback mechanisms. The ENVRI-Hub is evolving towards establishing an Environmental Node, aligning with Europe’s vision of building the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Federation as a network of Nodes to support cross-disciplinary scientific research and innovation.
