52°North’s Scientific and Technical Advisory Board recently met for its annual meeting. The board members were impressed 52°North’s accomplishments in 2023. We continue to explore new emerging trends and technologies, to look at how to improve RDIs and apply the concepts to specific use cases, and investigate aspects of spatial data science.
We thank our board for their great insights, point on critiques and helpful suggestions and strategies!
October 17 – 18, 2023, the RIESGOS 2.0 team met at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen (near Munich) for the annual project meeting. On the first day, consortium members gave a series of short presentations on the main progress made in their work packages over the past year. Together with colleagues from the DLR and the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam – German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), 52°North gave an update on the progress made in the implementation and integration of web services and data. The most important points were the integration of the existing RIESGOS web services into a new, event-driven software architecture and a simplified deployment setup. This should make it easier for the partners in South America to use the software components.
The second day was dedicated to planning and preparing the upcoming final project trip to Chile and Peru in November 2023. Since RIESGOS 2.0 runs until February 2024, it is in its final phase.
Second I-CISK General Assembly – efficient and productive
Approximately 30 consortium members met at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) in Madrid for two days of intensive discussions surrounding the I-CISK project. During a morning of updates from the different work packages and the 7 Living Labs (LLs), members also reflected on the main research and innovation directions. As part of WP5, 52°North and GECOsistema first announced the recent launch of the pre-operational I-CISK cloud platform, which provides access to the current mock-ups and prototypes of Climate Service for the LLs. After bringing everyone up to date, a discussion on the impact of I-CISK – what is the I-CISK legacy? – followed. The key question of the General Assembly was how to bring together all the requirements, data, models and visualizations. Lively discussions on this topic took place throughout the afternoon in various breakout groups.
