EPOS to Host Webinar on Access to and Sharing of Scientific Data
EPOS will host an international webinar on November 6, focusing on data policy and collaboration between research infrastructures to promote open access to scientific data.
How can research infrastructures work together to make scientific data more accessible and easier to share? This question will be at the heart of an international webinar hosted by the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) on Friday, November 6, 2026.
The webinar, titled EPOS Data Policy: Principles, Framework, and Implementation, will explore the EPOS Data Policy, its legal framework, and how principles of open access and responsible scientific data management are put into practice.
Topics will include the scientific data lifecycle, data security and protection, intellectual property rights, and the FAIR principles, which aim to make data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
The webinar is organised as part of an international collaboration between EPOS in Europe, AuScope in Australia, EarthScope in the United States, and Earth Sciences New Zealand. The collaboration aims, among other things, to improve interoperability between research infrastructures and facilitate the sharing and use of geoscientific data across borders.
The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A, giving participants an opportunity to share experiences, exchange perspectives, and discuss common challenges in managing and sharing scientific data.
Date, Time and Participation
The webinar will take place on Friday, November 6, at 07:00 Icelandic time (08:00 CET) and will be held online via Zoom.
