All Speakers Presentations | Video Recording

The ESCAPE Open-source Scientific Software and Service Repository (OSSR) is a sustainable open-access repository to share scientific software and services to the science community and enable open science. It housesastro-particle-physics-related scientific software and services for data processing and analysis, as well as test data sets, user-support documentation, tutorials, presentations and training activities. We will present the vision and achievements of ESCAPE OSSR.

ESCAPE ESAP - Common standards to access and use data with a science platform toolkit (Service page)

All Speakers Presentations | Video Recording

Science platforms are central hubs where users can access and analyse data, collaborate with their colleagues, and publish their results. ESCAPE ESAP (ESFRI Science Analysis Platform) provides a common framework and toolkit for building science platforms, making possible for ESFRIs — together with other projects and institutions — to quickly assemble their existing and new service offerings to form coherent and approachable platforms that directly meet user needs and help them get their science done. We will present the ESAP system, and describe how various services, data products, and tools from across the ESCAPE project have been integrated into it.

• ESCAPE ESAP to the Future - John Swinbank (Science Data Centre Programme Manager at ASTRON)

ESCAPE Citizen Science to enhance scientific research (Service page)

All Speakers Presentations | Video Recording

A very wide range of scientific data analysis involves problems that cannot easily be solved algorithmically. Machine learning algorithms can in principle approximate any function, but even they typically require truth sets for training. Therefore crowdsourced data analysis by volunteers, ie citizen science, is critical for many science goals. This also engages by far the largest, and arguably the most overlooked, group of EOSC stakeholders: the science-inclined public.

• ESCAPE Citizen Science Overview - Stephen Serjeant (Professor of Astronomy at Open University)
• ESCAPE Citizen Science Impact on the ESFRIs
  • KM3NeT - Gwenhaël de Wasseige (Astroparticle physicist at KM3NeT)

The Virtual Research Environment (VRE) for ESCAPE Science Projects

Presentations | Video Recording

Enrique Garcia (Data / Software Engineer at CERN), Elena Gazzarrini (Computing Fellow at CERN) and Alba Vendrell (Computing Engineer at CERN)

The Virtual Reseach Environemnt (VRE) is an ecosystem of tools and services developed under the ESCAPE project to serve the scientific needs of the community. Currently, the EOSC Future Science Projects are getting on-boarded and are making use of the platform to perform their science. In this contribution we will go through the different elements of the VRE infrastructure, the new elements that are or will be added soon and the integration of the platform within EOSC.
