2. EPOS Mission The European Plate Observing System (EPOS) is a long-term integrated research infrastructure plan to promote innovative approaches for a better understanding of the physical processes controlling earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, unrest episodes and tsunamis as well as those driving tectonics and Earth surface dynamics EPOS is integrating the existing advanced European facilities into one, distributed multidisciplinary Research Infrastructure (RI) taking full advantage of new e-science opportunities EPOS TimelinePartnership presently here!

3. Key Objectives Integrating existing research infrastructures in Europe for solid Earth Science (data infrastructures & facilities) Building an efficient and comprehensive multidisciplinary research platform for the Earth sciences in Europe Providing access to data and data products through shared data policies Developing e-RIs for integrated use of data, products and services to users Contributing to a community building for Earth Science Promoting cooperation with complementary projects in geosciences (GEO, ICT & environmental sciences) Providing services to different users & stakeholders

6. National Research Infrastructures and facilities provide services at national level and send data to the European thematic data infrastructures. Topological Architecture Thematic Core Services are infrastructures providing community specific services, serve communities to organize themselves and to formulate common strategies and contribute to overall EPOS work plan development in a coordinated manner. (They can be international organizations, such as ORFEUS for seismology). The EPOS Integrated Core Services will provide access to multidisciplinary data, data products, synthetic data from simulations, processing and visualization tools.... The EPOS Integrated Core Services will serve scientists and other stakeholders, young researchers (training), professionals and industry EPOS is more than a data portal: it will provide not just data but the means to integrate, analyse, compare, interpret and present data and information about Solid Earth.

National Research Infrastructures and facilities Existing and operational: see http://www.epos-eu.org/ride/http://www.epos-eu.org/ride/ Funded by national governments Essential for monitoring and hazard assessment Thematic Core Services provide community specific services & access to data / data products and facilities. Implementation phase for TCS:  Integrating new data & data-products ≈1.0 M€  Creating new services for existing TCS ≈1.5 M€  Implementing TCS components (geo-hazards, geo-resources) ≈2.5 M€  Involving other communities (and industry) ≈1.0 M€  Support ICT innovation ≈1.0 M€ Further develop a flexible financial plan for TCS. Obtain national commitments for sustainability (M&O). The EPOS Integrated Core Services will provide access to multidisciplinary data, data products, synthetic data from simulations, processing, modelling and visualization tools, and facilities. The Executive Coordination Office (ECO, legal seat) and the ICS will be build up and operated by MSs through EPOS-ERIC. Cost assessment for the first 5 years (2016-2020): ECO: 3,75 M€ (solid)≈700K€ per year ICS: 7,8 M€ (to be refined)≈1.5M€ per year Funded through host premium & membership fees. No additional funds expected from EC. new e-RI

26. Added Value: scientific perspectives Strengthening of collaborations between dispersed research groups working in the same field Design of multidisciplinary measurements tailored to particular investigations (Eyjafjallajökull 2010 eruption) Integration of research efforts using different methodologies to contribute to geo-hazards and geo-resources Open community based software and web applications, with consequent improvements in the processing and interpretation of data and opening of new perspectives for integrated Earth system models and simulations Development of new technologies for specific infrastructures, such as experimental laboratories or in-situ observatories Closer links with other networks and infrastructures throughout the field of Earth sciences, including space marine and environmental sciences

27. Financial perspectives National funds for implementing national RIs and TCS components (including structural funds) Present EU funds for TCS implementation EU projects (NERA, REAKT, SHARE....)
