EPOSEuropean Plate Observing System
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 Timeline Partnership
presently here!
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

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.
The National RIs

Industry engagement• Monitoring industrial activities
– Mining industry– Geo-thermal fields– Waste management & disposals
• Forecasting natural phenomena– Aviation (volcanic ash)– Re-insurance companies (seismic/volcanic risks)
• Energy and geo-resources exploitation
MISSION & VISION
EPOS a timely initiative
The EPOS infrastructure is original in the following respects: • the extent of the partnership • the multidisciplinary integration and data services• the long-term scientific perspective• the long-term governmental and financial perspective• the novel e-infrastructure concept and new provisions for
distributed data storage and high-performance computing facilities
• an enhanced integrated contribution to geo-hazard assessment and society
EPOS Innovation
• Access to primary data (seismograms, GPS, volcano observations, geological maps, geomagnetic data, ....)
• Access to facilities (experimental and analytical laboratories, analog modeling, ...)
• High level integrated data products: results of scientific investigations (hazard maps, earthquake source models, ...)
• RI integration achievements inEU and international projects (public funding): NERA, SHARE, REAKT, Supersites, ...
• Outreach & information: Training, education and dissemination (virtual laboratory for solid Earth sciences)
FINANCIAL MODEL
The National RIs• Past Investments and present running costs spent by
national governments on national Ris: RIs value (>350M€) and annual running costs (≅84M€/per year)
• Financial support by national governments during the EPOS Preparatory Phase (2010-2013): 43.5M€ from 5 countries (2011-2013)
Other proposals under evaluation (in 7 countries)
• These RIs are needed for the surveillance of national territory from natural hazards
• We ask national governments to maintain (at least) the present support to national RIs

EPOS Funding model
EPOS-ERIC funding will be distributed over:• Membership fees : total of cash and in-kind cash equivalent
– Recommendation IAPC June 2013: mixed model based on flat rate and GDP weighting.
– Discussion: definition of the level of flat rate and GDP
• Host Premium– No threshold is settled, it will depend on the proposals
• EU and other project funding
Membership fees:• Cash :
– Recommendation PDB (?) : define the minimum amount of cash necessary
• In kind cash equivalent – Discussion: list of accepted In-Kind-Contributions and how to set their value?
(Recom PDB?)
Socio-Economic Impact (SEI) After evaluating different approaches for SEI assessment EPOS team has decided to use the Technopolis framework.
Key areas:• Scientific value
Create excellence science opportunities for a better society
• Capacity building Strengthening capacity building for new generations
• Economic value Opening new business opportunity for the local and global economy
• Societal value Foster IT innovation for a better risk management of environmental
