  1. COOP+ COOPERATION OF RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES TO ADDRESS GLOBAL CHALLENGES IN THE ENVIRONMENT FIELD Presented by J.Marco (CSIC/COOPEUS) on behalf of F.Bonet (Ugr, JRU-LW-ES, COOP+ coordinator) COOPEUS Annual Meeting , Helsinki 2nd Oct 2014

  2. Global challenges are important drivers for research and innovation. Our planet has finite resources which need to be cared for sustainably; climate change and infectious diseases do not stop at national borders, food security needs to be ensured across the globe. The Union needs to strengthen its dialogues with international partners to build critical mass for tackling these challenges Why COOP+ ?

  3. How can we address the global cross-scale and cross-disciplinary challenges posed by the global environment change? the scale of the projects may exceed previous initiatives: we would like to observe, model and understand the whole Biosphere. Why COOP+ ?

  4. Statement in 2013 by the Group of Senior Officials (GSO): “The GSO recognises the vital role of global research infrastructures in addressing world-wide S&T challenges and the benefits of coordinating investments in global research infrastructures to efficiently use the available resources and fully realise their potential benefits.” Research Infrastructures in the Environmental Field are developing fast, but the corresponding communities need yet to further reflect on the need for a wider global collaboration, and in particular on how to support the preparation of the large projects that are likely needed to address cross-disciplinary global challenges. Why COOP+ ?

  5. Explore the potential of the international cooperation to address these Global Challenges, where Research Infrastructures, as data providers and also as technology and knowledge poles, should play a central role. Non trivial questions to be answered: • Is it possible to address today, through cooperation of the existing RIs, a cross-disciplinary global challenge like modelling and understanding the carbon cycle? • Are there relevant gaps to efficiently share both data and models? • Best way to organize the access to the data and repositories for results? • What type of global projects, under what approach for collaboration, what perspective (bottom-up, top-down)? • What is or should be the role of Research Infrastructures in these initiatives? • Which is the adequate way to coordinate these efforts? • How can we promote the dissemination of these products and results to the research funding bodies? COOP+ Goal

  6. The main assumption of the proposal is that three areas ARCTIC RESEARCH, MARINE SCIENCE AND BIODIVERSITY need to cooperate at international level to address jointly global research challenges COOP+ Framework Take the example of carbon cycle. This challenge has been traditionally addressed using a mechanistic approach: different disciplines do research in several parts of the cycle. E.g. ecologists focus on the relationships between biodiversity and biomass production, physicists try to decipher the carbon balance between atmosphere and biosphere, etc. This approach was so successful that international institutions have invested resources to create research infrastructures focused on different thematic areas regarding carbon cycle (ICOS, NEON, TERN, etc.) or particular geographic areas (LBA/INPA Brazil, etc.). We believe that one of the next steps in the evolution of Earth Sciences is to foster the creation of synergies among RIs to address global challenges.

  7. COOPEUS mission: To facilitate the accessibility of data from research infrastructures to advance our understanding across Earth systems through an international community-driven effort, by: -Engaging user communities; -Addressing changing societal and scientific needs; -Removing technical, scientific, cultural and geopolitical barriers for data use; and -Promoting the flow, integrity and preservation of information. COOP+ & COOPEUS mission

  8. Initial Team: • COOPEUS board input! • Proposed Coordination by JRU-LW-ES (Joint Research Unit for LifeWatch Spain) team: U.Granada (F.Bonet, R.Zamora) (CEAMA/Sierra Nevada Observatory/LTER coordination in Spain) & CSIC (J.Marco, F.Aguilar) Strong ministerial & regional support • The team has experience in previous coordination at national and international level • Expertise both on BIO/ENV/COMPUTING Proposal for a CSA building on COOPEUS

  9. INFRASUPP-6-2014 • International cooperation for Research Infrastructures • CSA Action, 2M€ max • (Possible) complementary focus : • MULTILATERALLY (R&I aspects of RI in an area of science) • MULTILATERALLY (Specific World Class Research Infrastructure) • Area: • Support multilateral cooperation on RI in ARCTIC RESEARCH, MARINE SCIENCE, BIODIVERSITY. Emphasis on cooperation with USA, Canada (including Galway) without excluding other (Australia, Brazil?) Regarding the call

  10. Four ESFRIs in Europe: EMSO, ICOS, EISCAT-3D, LifeWatch • NEON, WHOI and OOI, AmeriFlux, and the NSF network in US • Tern, IMOS in Australia • ONC in Canada • LBA/INPA in Brazil The impact will be extended with the incorporation of other relevant RIs worldwide through the participation in the COOP+OPENBOARD that will be setup and promoted at relevant events (like EGU, or AGU): “creating a common ground for the development of a global network of research infrastructures”. RI supporting the proposal

  11. WP1: Addressing Global Challenges • Identify a list of relevant global challenges which require a relevant participation of RIs, analyze for a selected set the feasibility and detailed requirements. • WP2: Global Cooperation (central one to the project) • coordinate the multilateral cooperation between the different Research Infrastructures, OPEN COOP+BOARD • contribute to roadmaps, prospective studies, recommendations for funding, and new proposals for cooperation • WP3: dissemination towards the relevant stakeholders • WP4: promote best practices, • Comparing the different approaches followed by the RIs, sharing techniques and procedures adopted, and supporting training activities • WP5: support the use of Global Integrated Platforms, and in particular those related to GEO (Group on Earth Observation) Workpackages

  15. Matching the call goals

  16. Find the way(s) to support this multilateral collaboration with international partners • Embrace/support/be visible at global fora • Establish a “mid-term” framework, and make it known to policy/funding authorities Join us at AGU Fall meeting, we will be at booth 2803 THANKS ! How to make COOP+ really +?
