STRATEGIC COOPERATION BOARD WEBSITE

The Strategic Cooperation Board (SCB) will help to ensure the seamless integration of the strategies developed within the COOPEUS project.

COOPEUS brings together Europe's major environmental research infrastructure projects within ESFRI (EPOS, LifeWatch, EMSO, and ICOS) with their USA counterparts (AMISR, EARTHSCOPE, DataONE, OOI and NEON)

This website provides a central location for all SCB information, updates, and news.

CURRENT PROJECTS

Plant Phenology Ontologies (PPO)

To annotate plant phenological data sources using terms from the plant ontology, biological collections ontology and the newly developed plant phenology ontology to create a set of high level data which can be used to answer questions relating to phenological stages and their expression across time and space, and different environments. The output will be coordinated global data-store and mechanisms to access that store, and that can be re-used and sustained into the future.

Kepler Workflow and RO Hub

We aim to lower data integration barriers by seamlessly combining workflows using CyVerse Discovery Environment and supporting reproducible research and publication by linking to the Research Object infrastructure (ROHub). We will leverage research objects to enhance the capabilities of workflows for reuse and publication in a transnational cooperative environment in environmental sciences

CALL FOR PAPERS/VIGNETTES

National Science Foundation's Dear Colleague Letter (DCL): Seeking Community Input for Topic Ideas to Accelerate Research Through International Network-to-Network Collaboration, invites individuals or groups of individuals from the U.S. research community to submit White Papers on topics in science, engineering, and/or STEM education that are ripe for international network-to-network collaboration.

Topics should hold the potential to accelerate discovery and advance research outcomes.

The International Research Collaborations Working Group (I-Group) of the National Academies’ Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable ( GUIRR) is hosting “Data Matters: Ethics, Data and International Research Collaboration in a Changing World”.

The I-Group is seeking input from the community in the form of case studies, research vignettes, or illustrative examples that will aid in identifying ethical issues in the collection, sharing, curation, access, and use of data in any of a variety of research and data collection contexts.

Due by December 1, 2017.

National Science Foundation's Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) seeks information on existing and future needs for mid-scale research infrastructure projects from the US-based NSF science and engineering community.

The purpose of this Request for Information is to assess the needs for mid-scale Research Infrastructure from the US-based NSF science and engineering community in order to develop a strategy, in accordance with the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act (AICA).

Due by December 8, 2017.
