We are pleased to announce a webinar series dedicated to the data collection, processing and accessing practices of the marine Research Infrastructures (RIs) within GEORGE.
This three-part webinar series focuses on the data practices of the three different marine RIs: EMSO ERIC, Euro-Argo ERIC, and ICOS ERIC. Each session will cover one RI and provide an overview of how data is produced, processed, stored, and made accessible within that organisation.
Each episode will answer questions such as
- What are the main data sets or products of the RI?
- How are the data produced and processed?
- How can the data be accessed?
- How do you acknowledge the use of the RI’s data in scientific publications?
- What criteria does a collaborator, site or station need to meet to become a part of the RI?
This webinar series is designed to help researchers, technicians and stakeholders better understand the data practices of the RIs and to increase understanding and collaboration between the RIs.
The webinars will be held on Zoom. Please register for each webinar episode separately. If you have any questions for the presenters, you may also send them in advance through the registration form.
