FW: AGU meeting preparation
by Eija Juurola 26 Jan '26

26 Jan '26

Dear ENVRI Board, As discussed yesterday, I share the information we received from Mihaela on the meeting the EC representatives had with AGU. AGU is looking forward to the possibility of working together with ENVRI. With the project they will start they have possibility to address data resilience issues, following 4 main threads: 1. NSF Repository Stability 2. NASA/NOAA/USGS - Supporting existing work with datasets risk analysis and mitigations plans. 3. Global Coordination - working with international bodies to create something sustaining and enduring. 4. Sustainability and funding. As mentioned, the initiative will have a kick-off meeting in Berlin from the 23rd-27th of March, and it would be important that the key European stakeholders are well represented at this meeting. I will inform them that ENVRI welcomed the idea and that many RIs are interested to hear more and participate in the initiative. We do not have more information on the program of the kick-off etc. yet but we will inform you as soon as we know. As for the request to share any information on the networks that may be under threat, any collaboration and actions you have had towards data security, you can inform Mihaela Constantin also directly (Mihaela.CONSTANTIN(a)ec.europa.eu<mailto:Mihaela.CONSTANTIN@ec.europa.eu>).
