With dozens of government agencies and foundations funding research at over 200 universities and hundreds more institutes and businesses, the United States comprises a challenge to comprehensive open science offerings. Approaches by various government agencies to require and incentivize open access to data will be mentioned, as well as platforms and services that enable data sharing and...
(Title given by organisers: Insights on Open Science & EOSC from an RDA perspective)
Within the complex, international landscape of open science and open data, the research data landscape is highly fragmented, by disciplines or by domains. When it comes to cross-disciplinary activities, the notions of "building blocks" of common data infrastructures and building specific "data bridges" are...
Observations from the “Internet of things” (IoT), such as intelligent cars, phones, buildings and personal weather stations (PWS), including commodity weather sensors, provide detailed information on local to hyper-local meteorological phenomena. This NordForsk infrastructure project (iOBS) will accommodate an increasing amount and diversity of observation data, and provide a system of...
The dinner takes place at Gemyse restaurant inside the famous and magical theme park, Tivoli Gardens. To join the dinner you must select attendance when registering to the conference. You can look forward to a delicious three-course gourmet dinner in...
Shaping up the Nordics for EOSC is based on the work behind the EOSC-Nordic project proposal coordinated by NeIC, which was submitted to the EC during autumn 2018. Shaping up the Nordics for EOSC aims to facilitate the coordination of EOSC relevant initiatives within the Nordic and Baltic countries and exploit synergies to achieve greater harmonisation at policy and service provisioning...
Lifeportal(lifeportal.uio.no/) is a web-based interface developed for researchers who do not have
advanced computer science expertise but need to perform resource-consuming computational
analyses. Lifeportal promotes open science by enabling the users to share and reuse the results
of these analyses, workflows and data among their collaborators or entire workgroups within
one single...
Advances in the development of climate models and associated data viewers and processing tools is achieving unprecedented maturity in the environmental scientific community. This was accompanied by the standardization of model output formats (conventions for Climate and Forecast metadata), the availability of open databases (i.e., the Earth System Grid Federation), and often of the climate...
The Nordic and Baltic genebanks are responsible for conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. The e-infrastructure used by genebanks is termed Genebank Information Management System (GIMS). Implementation and development of a new Nordic Baltic integrated GIMS with functionalities that allows for incorporation of more data (phenotype/genotype) will be of great benefit...
Artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) methodologies are more and more the basis of ground-breaking research. Through proper training of the algorithms, AI/ML can make direct predictions of phenomena that earlier hardly could be investigated by solving first principles problems. That is one of the reasons AI/ML workflows are becoming the driving force in many frontiers of...
CSC has a new cloud platform called Rahti. It is based on OpenShift -
Red Hat's distribution of Kubernetes. It is a generic cloud platform
that is suitable for a wide range of use cases from hosting web sites to
scientific applications. What differentiates it from previous cloud
plaforms such as cPouta is the ease with which applications can be
managed, scaled up and made fault tolerant.
In...
Jupyter notebooks combine the accessibility of an interactive web-frontend, the reproducibility of a laboratory notebook, and the collaborative potential of a cloud-based deployment. The accessibility and interactivity lowers the barrier for researchers to prototype, write, and share data analysis pipelines, and the literate programming approach of Jupyter makes it particularly simple to...
We, at Uninett and Sigma2, have been working on enabling researcher to utilize machine learning by providing “one click” install to most used deep learning frameworks e.g. Tensorflow, Pytorch with GPUs resources to train the models. This workshop will provide participants a possibility to utilize the given platform.
The workshop will provide introduction to Deep learning with hand-on session...
In modern times, computation power is becoming more and more important. However, at the same time, the rest of the world is becoming consumerized: while the general expectation is that information technology is easier to use, the design of high-performance computing (HPC) systems has not kept up with modern developments in computer usability. There are many historical artifacts of how HPC...
Linux containers, with the build-once-run-anywhere approach, are becoming popular among scientific communities for software packaging and sharing. Docker is the most popular and user friendly platform for running and managing Linux containers. Singularity is a platform for deploying light-weight containers for HPC systems. Kubernetes is a portable orchestration system for managing...
The provision of research data in accordance with the FAIR principles could be seen as a cornerstone of Open Science and will be a major deliverable of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). In this session we will explore various aspects of the implementation of FAIR in the Nordic countries, covering perspectives from the researcher to the policy-maker. Topics can include the roles of the...
This workshop will identify common needs to share and develop joint security measures among Nordic e-infrastructures. The workshop focus on identifying requirements and solutions for security compliance to protect the infrastructures and sharing of data. The workshop will cover fields of potential joint interests, such as vulnerability management, security assessments, development of security...
