Tiziana Ferrari presents EGI | OSFair2017 Workshop Workshop title: National and European e-infrastructure cooparation for Open Science Workshop overview: This collaborative workshop comes in the context of coordinating EOSC related activities across large European infrastructures at European and national level. The workshop will offer an opportunity for cross-pollination on issues ranging from open scholarship to technical service provision, training, community engagement and support. OpenAIRE NOADs, EGI NGIs, GEANT NRENs and other national e-Infrastructure representatives will discuss gaps, synergies, coordination and service integration opportunities. DAY 3 - PARALLEL SESSION 6 & 7

Why a federation?
• Leverage national e-Infrastructure investments
• Open access to national infrastructures and services,
support international user gorups
• Integrated community, private and/or public
infrastructures into a scalable data/computing
platform for research.
• Ease of access via federated identity provisioning and
single authentication and authorization framework
• Interoperability of scientific applications and data
across multiple providers bringing distributed
computing to data.

Success stories
• Earth Observation sector – exploitation of large EO
data resources in the cloud
– RHEA, SixSq, AWS, IPTPoland, EGI FedCloud, AdviceGEO
– An open platform delivering a multi-cloud EO data
processing service, with the objective to prevent cloud
vendor lock-in situations while addressing end-to-end
processing of EO data in multiple cloud environments.
– Two use cases
• Sentinel-1 data retrieved and processed to produce change
detection maps of a glacier in Greenland and of shipping activity
in the Panama canal.
• Sentinel-2 data processor to generate true colour 10m resolution
images.
