Webinar

An introduction to domain specific Data Management Plans for NI4OS

This new course on data management is specifically targeted to give some guidance on the management of EUDAT services when dealing with sensitive data. It will last for half a day (3 hours) and will have a dedicated hands-on part where you will be guided on the use of tools to help you manage your sensitive data in a secure way.

This course is sponsored by the CompBioMed European Centre of Excellence (H2020), where SURF is a core partner.

Research Data Management (RDM) is a crucial component of research integrity. More and more funding bodies and research institutes require safely stored data nowadays, but data should also be open for sharing or available for the reproduction of research. The guiding principle in this respect is “as open as possible, as closed as necessary.” The Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of the digital research data, or in other words their FAIRness, is another important principle on which good RDM should be built. In this interactive webinar DANS (Data Archiving and Networked Services in the Netherlands) will provide an introduction to the importance of Research Data Management (RDM). Topics like RDM policies, the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), open and FAIR data, research integrity, data sharing aspects, storing data in trusted repositories, and Data Management Plans (DMPs) will be discussed.

GBIF community webinars aim to improve sustained communication and interaction between the Secretariat and the broader GBIF community, particularly (but not exclusively) the GBIF nodes. By keeping a keen eye on new projects and initiatives within the context of the GBIF strategic plan and annual work programme and implementation plan, we hope that these discussions spark new collaboration and engagement opportunities across the network.

The GBIF Coordination Unit in Spain organizes the GBIF.ES Webinar: Publication of biodiversity data in GBIF. An invitation to the business sector , which will take place on November 12 at 11:30 (Madrid time), with a duration of 1h 30 ′. During this event it will be announced:

• the role that GBIF Spain plays in accessing information on biodiversity at the national level;
• the OpenPSD project whose objective is to encourage the publication of data by the private sector;
• the benefits of publishing biodiversity data through GBIF;
• the steps to follow during the process.

This webinar is supported by the Spanish Enterprise and Biodiversity Initiative (Fundación Biodiversidad) and LafargeHolcim Spain , a pioneer company in the publication of data through GBIF.ES and which will share its experience in this field.

The main objective of this event is for Spanish companies to know and include the publication of biodiversity data in GBIF among their Corporate Social Responsibility actions.

ORFEUS Webinar no.4 - EIDA Authentication and Authorization

ORFEUS Webinar no.3 - EIDA Data Access

Within the framework of the EOSC DIH’s commercialization support activities, the webinar on Funding for Innovation aims to provide an understanding of some of the main European instruments that support research and innovation activities.

Using GPUs to accelerate computation is demanded by many user communities, especially for applications related to image processing, machine learning and so on. 

The VMOps dashboard provides users with a set of graphical interfaces to high-level services, in order to manage Virtual Machines and Virtualized Appliances on federated cloud infrastructures, particularly on the EGI Federated Cloud and community-specific cloud federations.

The EGI Federated Cloud brings together resources from IaaS providers, built around open standards, focusing on the requirements of the scientific community. Rising above the challenge of bringing together distributed platforms, it features a unified authentication and authorization mechanism, a shared image catalogue, centralized monitoring and accounting, and, through the VMOps dashboard, a centralized way of deploying, managing, and accessing VMs and resources. Users are provided at a glance with an overview of the cloud with respect to provider availability based on their current status, and a 4-step wizard to deploy topologies based on the VM images and the VOs each provider supports, thus significantly reducing the burden of searching for the appropriate resources.
