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.

GECO and 52N hack for I-CISK Living Labs

GECO and 52N hack for I-CISK Living Labs

GECOSistema and 52°North meet virtually for project hackathon 

52°North currently works on first developments of mock-up climate services for different I-CISK Living Labs. Recently, our developers met with the GECO team to review the architecture designed earlier this year. We discussed necessary adjustments, organized next steps and prepared the work package contribution for the upcoming General Assembly. In the afternoon, the 52°North team worked on a first deployment of the different mock-ups in the cluster.

Climate Services using Open Data & Open API Standards

From June 26 to June 30, 2023, the second Data Week took place in the historic New City Hall in Leipzig, Germany. The main theme of the conference was urban development and planning. On Monday, the presentations and keynotes focused on the European Green Deal projects and Data Cubes as a digital data resource to create a geospatial ecosystem for Europe. Tuesday’s focus was on FAIR data, various urban planning topics and different data spaces such as agriculture, biodiversity and climate. 52°North’s Johannes Schnell opened the Climate Data Space panel with a presentation of current projects. Wednesday evolved around AI and the need for semantics when providing data to make it machine readable and processable. The last two days were dedicated to workshops and discussions on sustainability and reproducibility of AI.
