by Schmitt, Ines-Marie 21 Aug '25

21 Aug '25

Dear ENVRI Board members, Due to the summer holidays, there has been a slight delay in making the materials and minutes from the last ENVRI Board Meeting. However, they are now available in the shared Redmine folder here: https://iagos-comm.fz-juelich.de/projects/envri-board/dmsf?folder_id=1101. I kindly ask the presenters whose slides are not yet there to upload them directly or send them to me so that I can do so. The minutes are also already in the folder as draft version, as well as attached to this mail. I welcome your feedback and comments as soon as possible and will adapt the document accordingly, but I will not set an explicit deadline to give all members the chance to respond after their vacations. Also, the poll for our in-person meeting is now closed and the Chairs and I have started preparations for our face-to-face meeting 7-8th October in Marseille connection to the IRISCC meeting as this option received the most votes. Please add this date to your calendars already. More information will follow. Best regards, Ines Schmitt (she/her) ______________________________ Née Thelen ENVRI Board Secretary Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH Institute of Climate and Energy Systems (ICE-3): Troposphere Tel.: +49 (0) 2461 61-96419 Email: <mailto:i.schmitt@fz-juelich.de> i.schmitt(a)fz-juelich.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH 52425 Jülich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Jülich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Düren Nr.

Urgent: Drafting a White Paper on the current Scientific Data Crisis
by Eija Juurola 05 Aug '25

05 Aug '25

Dear ENVRI Board, During the summer, European Commission has been in contact with US philanthropists and private funders interested in supporting efforts to safeguard datasets critical for research and facilitate the continuous operation of critical services, mainly in the areas of climate, environment and health research, and organised a first meeting with them and European Research Infrastructures from the health and environmental domain. Me, Tuukka Petäjä from ACTRIS, and Werner participated in the meeting from ENVRI side. In the attachment you find a short recap from the meeting (cooperation on data and….docx). One of the key outcomes from the meeting was to draft a white paper, which should highlight the societal relevance of research data and data infrastructures, with key sections on Urgency, What is at Stake, Global Challenge, and Call to Action. The document should be concise and globally framed with 2-3 pages maximum. The activity is led by Antje Keppler from ERIC Forum/Eurobioimaging. Due to the urgency of the situation, the timeline for the first full draft is very tight, it should be developed by 7th August, knowing that it is difficult due the vacation period in Europe. Hence, I ask for your quick contributions to the first very preliminary draft of the White Paper and to a pooled list of repositories affected by the current situation. Please find below links to the documents, I attach them also in this mail, if you cannot access these: [docx icon] Draft White Paper - Version 270725.docx<https://actris1-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/eija_juurola_actris_eu/EbD…> [xlsx icon] ListAffectedRepositories.xlsx<https://actris1-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/eija_juurola_actris_eu/ERv…> I will share the contributions from ENVRI to Antje latest on 6th August. Thanks a lot, and best wishes Eija

by Schmitt, Ines-Marie 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

Dear ENVRI Board members, In the last ENVRI Board meeting the Chair informed that ENVRI has been contacted on another EOSC call: HORIZON-INFRA-2025-01-EOSC-02: FAIR Integration for Enhanced Research Data in the EOSC ecosystem and beyond. The proposal consortium is led by CODATA, and the proposal preparation is already far, but they are seeking collaboration especially in WP5. Zhiming Zhao from ENVRI-Hub-NEXT has prepared a first draft on the possible contributions from ENVRI side if there is interest in the RIs. If your RI is interested in contributing this proposal, please respond to this email or contact me and Eija directly (i.schmitt(a)fz-juelich.de <mailto:i.schmitt@fz-juelich.de> and eija.juurola(a)actris.eu <mailto:eija.juurola@actris.eu> ) within a week, preferably by 8th July. In your answer, please specify in the attached document also which kind of contribution you would propose. CODATA as the coordinator of the initiative can then decide how to move forward. Please do not share the documents further. Best, Ines Schmitt (she/her) ______________________________ Née Thelen ENVRI Board Secretary Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH Institute of Climate and Energy Systems (ICE-3): Troposphere Tel.: +49 (0) 2461 61-96419 Email: <mailto:i.schmitt@fz-juelich.de> i.schmitt(a)fz-juelich.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH 52425 Jülich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Jülich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Düren Nr.
