Hi Angeliki!
Karolina: You are part of the team organising the event “Open and FAIR environmental data for societal benefits” – An ENVRI Community policy event on the afternoon of the 20th of June here in Lund. Could you briefly explain what the event is about?
Angeliki: With pleasure! The event is organised by the European Science Cluster of Environmental Research Infrastructures (the ENVRIs) and will highlight the main achievements of the ENVRI community and their significance for the society. For the last 4.5 years and within the ENVRI-FAIR project our infrastructures and communities (including ICOS, the infrastructure I work for) have been working towards the provision of Open and FAIR data and services that are crucial to provide solutions for the major challenges of our planet, as is the climate change and our understanding of its impacts on the Earth system. At this event we want to discuss the future ways to strengthen the collaboration among our Research Infrastructures and to increase the societal impact of the European Environmental Cluster.
Karolina: Who can sign up for the event?
Angeliki: The event is free to attend and is targeted at a broad audience, from decision-makers from all levels to the scientific communities and netizens with a knack for climate science. It will take place at LUX Aula and online, starting at 14:45, right after the Research Infrastructure Event organised by the Swedish Presidency (between 19-20 of June).
