Webinar: Bridging the Data-Compute Gap: Scaling Research with EOSC Data Commons
About the webinar
EOSC Data Commons is more than the creation of a repository; it is a vision for a “European Research Commons”, a trusted ecosystem providing transparent access to high-quality, interoperable research outputs and services. Coordinated by the EGI Foundation, the project is building the bridges between distributed data sources and the high-performance computing resources needed to analyse them.
This session will break down the project’s mission to accelerate the research data lifecycle. We will explore how the Data Commons integrates with the EOSC EU Node and the EGI Federation to deliver innovative services for data discovery, AI-based analytics, and FAIRness assessment.
Key Takeaways:
- The Architecture: How we are building a data and compute continuum across Europe.
- Service Innovations: A first look at the AI-based metadata discovery services and the execution framework for analytical tools.
- Stakeholder Impact: Why this matters for e-infra providers looking to federate and researchers aiming for reproducible, cross-disciplinary science.
Target Audience
- E-Infra & Resource Providers: Learn how your storage and compute resources integrate into the broader European ecosystem.
- Service Providers: Discover how to build tools that leverage seamless data access and interoperability.
- Community Users: Understand how to find, access, and analyse cross-disciplinary data without the traditional technical hurdles.
