Speaker
Description
European Research Infrastructures (RIs) generate petabyte-scale datasets in domains such as climate science, atmospheric research, biomedicine, and imaging. While Open Science policies have improved data availability and FAIR compliance, practical reuse remains limited. Researchers often face barriers related to compute capacity, software environments, AI tooling, and secure access. Moving large datasets across networks to local environments is increasingly inefficient, costly, and sometimes infeasible. The EU-funded RI-SCALE project introduces a scalable alternative: Data Exploitation Platforms (DEPs) that bring computation to the data rather than moving data to users.
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk?
For the TNC and GÉANT community, DEPs are particularly relevant: they reduce unnecessary bulk data transfers while increasing demand for trusted, high-capacity, low-latency networking, interoperable AAI, and seamless cloud/HPC integration.
The talk will introduce: 1) The architectural concept of Data Exploitation Platforms, 2) Its early validation across environmental and health RIs, 3) Opportunities for collaboration across RIs, service providers, and AI platform developers.
