Synthesis
from AIEPOS Strategy 2024–2028 outlines Europe’s research infrastructure for solid Earth sciences, focusing on integrating data, tools, and services to address geodynamic challenges like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and climate change.
The strategy emphasizes Open Science and FAIR data principles, aiming to provide seamless, interoperable access to multidisciplinary resources through a federated architecture. It highlights six strategic objectives: ensuring seamless data access, enhancing services, expanding the user community, implementing Open Science, amplifying societal impact, and boosting global cooperation.
EPOS operates through Thematic Core Services (TCS) and the Integrated Core Services (ICS), which connect national and transnational infrastructures. The platform supports innovation in hazard assessment, urban planning, and sustainable georesource management, fostering collaboration across academia, industry, and policymakers.
The strategy also prioritizes training, community engagement, and ethical considerations, while advancing digital infrastructures like Digital Twins and Cloud Computing. Global partnerships with initiatives such as EOSC and ENVRI further strengthen EPOS’s role in international Earth science research.
