Developing Data Services Summer School in Puglia

A great opportunity for IT architects wiIll take place in Lecce in July: the ENVRI Community International Summer School 2022 “Road to a FAIR ENVRI-Hub: Designing and Developing Data Services for End Users“.

IT architects, Research Infrastructure (RI) service developers and user support staff will have the opportunity to reseach totgheter to analyze topics such as user interfaces, packaging of services, reusability and validation of services. In the meantime the grupo, made up of 20 students, will give its contibution in building and supporting networks through the lens of the ENVRI-Hub approach.

The Summer School is organized by ENVRI-FAIR project with LifeWatch Eric as Local Organizer. So far the School has established itself as an unmissable opportunity to learn about FAIRness in the framework of Research Infrastructures. Having gone into depth on data FAIRness and data management.

The school will take place in Lecce, in the heart of worldwide known Puglia, from 10-15 July, and on top of the time spent with experienced trainers, it will also include optional excursions and social events.

ENVRI Community
is a community of Environmental Research Infrastructures, projects, networks and other diverse stakeholders interested in environmental Research Infrastructure matters. The community also includes e-infrastructures supporting the Research Infrastructures in data solutions.

LifeWarch Eric
is a European Research Infrastructure Consortium providing e-Science research facilities to scientists investigating biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services in order to support society in addressing key planetary challenges.

Review of Summer School 2022:

IT architects, data scientists, and research infrastructure developers from around the world have shared lessons and perspectives while developing awareness of the potential for shared scientific resources at the The ENVRI Community International Summer School 2022.

Headlined “Road to a FAIR ENVRI-Hub: Designing and Developing Data Services for End Users”, the event took place in Lecce, Italy, from 10–15 July. It covered topics such as user interfaces, the packaging of services, the reusability and validation of services, and the building and supporting networks through the lens of the ENVRI-Hub approach.

The FAIR approach refers to the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets. The principles emphasise machine-actionability (i.e., the capacity of computational systems to find, access, interoperate, and reuse data with none or minimal human intervention) because environmental scientists increasingly rely on computational support to deal with data.

(Feedback from different people in the video: “makes it possible for data and metadata to be interoperable across different systems..:”)

Conclusion: Feedback from a participant detailing the tangible and intangible benefits, then a look forward to the expected outcomes, and the expected theme of the next conference.

FAIRness as a research booster

Road to a FAIR ENVRI-Hub: Designing and Developing Data Services for End Users organized by ENVRI-FAIR project and LifeWatch ERIC in Lecce Italy from the 10th to the 15th of July 2022 and the ENVRI Community International Summer School  respond to the need of the research community to have a common understanding on data. 20 students coming from different area of knowledge participated to the training event: IT architects, Research Infrastructure (RI) service developers and user support staff, as well as RI staff. Eager to share data honestly and understand the value of having data interoperability they worked together in the training event for implementing a scientific data center to learn more about data, metadata, ontology, labelling, vocabulary with the purposed of exchanging database.

FAIRness and data management is a priority in the framework of Research Infrastructures and this unique opportunity of training has been highly appreciated by the trainers that had the opportunity to to make research better and reproducibile and stimulating and accelerating research. What do researchers share honestly will be support with FAIRness principles and beyond
