relevant topics & possible opportunities Nikos Manouselis Agro-Know Technologies nikosm@agroknow.gr V1, 30/10/13
in this meeting • we will focus on selected Topics from two (2) Work Programmes • European Research Infrastructures (from Excellence Science) • Information & Communication Technologies (from LEIT) • they will serve as the pool from which we will chose Challenges to work with • this talk: to give you a very brief intro to the selected Topics [not to discuss, just to inform]
reflection & thoughts • Deadline: September 2nd, 2014 • design study for an e-infrastructure on food science(s)? • leading to a more permanent ESFRI structure (legal entity etc) • several ESFRI e-infrastructures on plant science, forestry, etc • not sure if a food science proposal has been tried in the past • would be very relevant as a topic to other INFRA challenges as well (could mean that someone is already working on it) • could be an interesting next step for the sustainability of agINFRA • if not subsumed by LifeWatch • if not continued as a Community data service proposal (not in this WP version though!)
reflection & thoughts • Deadline: September 2nd, 2014 • topic (a) seems like potentially relevant • I assume that only one project will be selected: big players will come out to play (EUDAT etc.) • interesting, if we can convince that agriculture can be one of the targeted communities • build on legacy of agINFRA
reflection & thoughts • Deadline: April 15th, 2014 • only one project will be selected: big players will come out to play (OpenAIRE etc.) • interesting, if we can convince that agriculture is one of the core themes (where principal thematic repositories participate) • build on legacy of agINFRA, VOA3R and AGRIS that created a thematic network of repositories
reflection & thoughts • Deadline: September 2nd, 2014 • interesting to link agINFRA with relevant infrastructures in USA, Canada, Russia, Australia, New Zealand • are there such infrastructures in these regions? • do we know contact people there? • who should lead such a CSA?
reflection & thoughts • Deadline: January 1st, 2015 • very relevant to • Research Data Management interests • Capacity Building activities of all key stakeholders & relevant training programmes • possibly only one small project of 2M to be funded • needs good representation of key partners • plus a number of thematic pilots (such as agriculture) • partnerships, communities and core curricula may be developed earlier than 2015 • e.g. in agINFRA & SemaGrow we will develop pilot curricula and training • e.g. UAH could pilot an online course
reflection & thoughts • Deadline: April 23rd, 2014 • Explore if thematic projects (or themes into projects) can be proposed • Aim at a CSA that will help the creation and networking of start ups on agricultural data-powered apps/tech • link them to all the stakeholders of the agriculture/food value chain • help them understand challenges of the industries • connect them to potential customers
