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

All the best, Heikki Sent from my Galaxy -------- Original message -------- From: "Schmitt, Ines-Marie via envri_board" <envri_board(a)maillists.icos-ri.eu> Date: 04/08/2025 11:44 (GMT+01:00) To: envri_board(a)maillists.icos-ri.eu Cc: Marina Papageorgiou <m.papageorgiou(a)cyi.ac.cy>, Jean Sciare <j.sciare(a)cyi.ac.cy>, "Schmitt, Ines-Marie" <i.schmitt(a)fz-juelich.de> Subject: [ENVRI Board] Invitation to Join COST Action Proposal on Innovation in Environmental RIs Dear ENVRI Board members, Marina Papageorgiou approached us with a call of interest to join a COST Action proposal they are preparing on Innovation for Environmental Research Infrastructures, as part of next steps to the ENVRINNOV project and asked me to circulate it to the ENVRI Board. Please find below the relevant mail: Dear ENVRI Board, As coordinators of the ENVRINNOV project, we are preparing a COST Action proposal focused on strengthening the innovation capacity of environmental RIs in Europe. This initiative builds on the vision developed through ENVRINNOV and aims to establish a structured, pan-European network for collaboration on innovation, capacity building, and the co-development of new technologies and services across ENVRI domains. A key objective also being to support joint preparation for future funding calls on innovation. The proposed Action aims to: 1. Foster collaboration and capacity-building for innovation · Support co-development of tools, technologies, and services with scientific, societal, and industrial relevance · Pilot collaborations between RIs, regional ecosystems, and industry for innovation · Facilitate best practice exchange and training in innovation management · Organize workshops and networking events · Support consortium building for EU funding opportunities 2. Facilitate coordination on innovation and future planning · Contribute to shaping the future Research and Technology Infrastructure Landscape in the environment domain · Map emerging technologies (e.g. sensors, platforms) with cross-RI application potential · Advance shared approaches to stakeholder engagement, innovation governance, data/service valorisation, and responsible innovation 3. Support early-career scientists and broaden participation across Europe · Increase opportunities for early-career researchers · Strengthen links with innovation stakeholders across all European regions We are currently forming the core group of proposers for the submission. In line with COST Action eligibility criteria, the initial consortium must include individuals from at least seven different COST Full or Cooperating Member countries, with at least 50% representation from COST Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITCs). A list of eligible countries and ITCs is available here<https://www.cost.eu/about/members/>. The RIs represented in the ENVRINNOV Consortium (ACTRIS, ICOS, eLTER, EMSO, IAGOS) are already engaged, and we intend for the Action to be open and inclusive for the entire ENVRI community. We are now reaching out to you to invite participation from all ENVRIs interested in engaging in innovation. Participation for each RI could include: · One representative proposer affiliated with your RI’s Head Office (ERIC or RPO) · Additional proposers from your RI's national networks in ITC countries If your RI would like to join this COST Action as a proposer, or if you’d like to discuss further, please contact us: Marina Papageorgiou (m.papageorgiou(a)cyi.ac.cy<mailto:m.papageorgiou@cyi.ac.cy>) and Jean Sciare (j.sciare(a)cyi.ac.cy<mailto:j.sciare@cyi.ac.cy>) to confirm your interest latest by 5 September.

RI participation in HORIZON-INFRA-2025-01-EOSC-02 proposal
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.

Dear ENVRI Board members, Thanks for filling out the poll for the next ENVRI Board meeting. We have now received 17 votes with 13 people being available on the time slot 23rd June, 13-16 CEST. We have seen the comments that the eLTER Science Conference is taking place at that time, and we know its unfortunate that there are collisions.
