Webinar Agenda:

EUXDAT relevance towards Farm to Fork and Towards a Green Cap. Karel Charvát (CoO)
The Farm to Fork Strategy, s to address the challenges and accelerate the transition to sustainable food systems, to ensure that the economic, social and environmental foundations of food and nutrition security are not compromised for current and future generations. To be possible implement challenging goal of Farm Fork Strategy, there will be necessary to introduce effective knowledge management. We will share our experience, how new technologies can help with implementation of such knowledge management system.

Crop Climate Risk Analysis, Monitoring, and Prediction. Nicoletta Addimando, Christoph Ramshorn (meteoblue)
We combine local climate data with information on a crop’s susceptibility to drought and frost in different growth stages. This allows us to analyse which crops are best suited for a location as it is affected by climate change. We can also monitor crop weather risks as the current growing season unfolds and predict crop weather risks for 5 to 14 days.

Discussion and feedback analysis, Karel Charvát (CoO), Jorge Lopez (ATOS)

Final Webinars of the EUXDAT Project “The EUXDAT e-Infrastructure”

Posted on by

Yesterday, a final webinar series of the EUXDAT project started with the webinar dedicated to The EUXDAT e-Infrastructure. In case you missed it, we have its recording so you can watch it now!

Please, helps us by filling in the questionnare to get your opinion on the EUXDAT project.

The agenda of the webinar:

Introduction of Series EUXDAT Webinars. Karel Charvát (CoO)

Introduction to series of Webinars, purpose of  Webinars and introduction of EUXDAT questionnaire

Green Deal, Destination Earth and EUXDAT. Nieto De Santos, Francisco Javier (ATOS)

This webinar will describe the main features of the EUXDAT e-Infrastructure and will analyse the main topics defined in the last initiative of the EC, focusing on the Green Deal. We will explain how EUXDAT can contribute to the EC vision and which features might be used by researchers and practitioners, in order to facilitate the implementation of the proposed ideas and concepts

The EUXDAT End user Platform. Anne Haugommard, Fabien Castel (ATOS France)

In this session we will present the EUXDAT platform features offered in the web platform. An overview of the platform components and hosting e-infrastructure architecture, the data catalogue, the development environment with notebooks to develop new value-added algorithms using data connectors and geoprocessing libraries.

The orchestrator, parallelization, monitoring, and accounting in EUXDAT. Jesus Gorroñogoitia Cruz,  Paolo Marangio (ATOS Spain)

This webinar presents the architecture implemented for managing the underlying infrastructure of EUXDAT, so it is possible to use Cloud and HPC resources in the Agriculture domain easily. It will present the different components involved (orchestrator, monitoring, accounting, Service Level Agreements manager) and how they are connected. In the webinar we will explain the features provided and how they can be used. We will also explain how we parallelized one of the EUXDAT scenarios and how it is possible to run it through the described components.

Parallelizing with Python-MPI. Jose M. Montañana (HLRS)

The amount of data available for Geoprocessing applications has been increasing exponentially during the last decades, as well as the size of the problems to solve, which requires increasing the computation capabilities. In order to achieve it and reduce computation time, supporting tools have been developed to ease the distribution of tasks among multiple processing nodes. In this session, we focus on an introduction to how to use Python-MPI. It allows parallelizing existing applications for its execution on HPC and on Cloud.

Discussion and feedback analysis. Karel Charvát (CoO), Jorge Lopez (ATOS)

 

Webinar on A Map WhiteBoard for Collaborative Map-Making

Posted on by

Let us cordially invite you to the webinar, where the “Map Whiteboard for Collaborative Map-Making and Data Capture” will be presented. The working title of their effort is a “Map Whiteboard” and the transport and storage for data is a JSON based format called “Map Compositions” that draws on the early work of Web Map Context documents, but that extends them with 20 years worth of added features. This webinar related to challenge No. 5 of COVID-19 INSPIRE Hackathon 2020 is scheduled on 22nd October at 1PM CEST. Join the webinar to learn more about this extremely useful tool that is being developed in collaboration with BOSC and AVINET. Do you want to learn more? Then do not hesitate to join us on Thursday!

Register now!

Agenda of the webinar:

  • Map Compositions format
  • Collaborative Map-Making – Introduction to map compositions, Example of composition structure
  • Introduction to map WhiteBoards
    • Authorization and ownership
    • Layer management
    • Feature synchronization

Final EO4Agri Workshop

Posted on by

This is the final workshop of the EO4AGRI project, which is planned as an open meeting to present the final EO4AGRI Strategic Research Agenda and recommended Roadmap towards improving the European capacity for operational agriculture monitoring based on information derived from Copernicus satellite observation data and through the exploitation of associated geospatial and socio-economic information services.

The workshop will be split into two sessions of around 1.5 hours each. The first section is oriented to researchers, developers, scientific communities, etc, and will be focused on the methodology, user requirements, and gap analysis processes developed during the project in order to get the results that are gathered in the EO4AGRI Strategic Research Agenda and Roadmap that will be presented during the second session (which is mainly targeted to policymakers, public administrations, etc).

Additionally, each slot will be combined with a Coffee table where participants will be able to interact with the speaker and discuss hot topics of that slot.
