Thursday 8 October - Afternoon session 2The development of global sets of data is a necessity for
environmental research in many domains: climate (e.g. Carbon Cycle), ocean, health etc… European Researchers have both a lot to gain and much to contribute for those global data sets:– Access to new data– Data cohesion at international level– Constitution of global data repositories.
What we are looking for:
• What we have in Europe to contribute to GEOSS Global Data Sets
• What barriers are preventing contribution and registration of European components in the GEOSS.
• How can we help?
Thursday 8 October - Dinner
The Dinner will be hosted by TÜBITAK and served
