AARC-2
The Authentication and Authorisation for Research and Collaboration (AARC) initiative was first launched in May 2015 to address the increased need for federated access and for authentication and authorisation mechanisms by research and e-infrastructures.
Running for two years, AARC was funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement 653965.
A second phase of the project (AARC2) started in May 2017 to continue to develop and pilot an integrated cross-discipline authentication and authorisation framework, building on existing authentication and authorisation infrastructures (AAIs).
AARC2 is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement 730941.

Cos4Cloud
COS4CLOUD (Co-designed citizen observatories for the EOS-Cloud) aims to design prototyped and implemented services that address the Open Science challenges shared by Citizen observatories of biodiversity, based on the experience of platforms like: Artportalen, Natusfera, iSpot, as well as other environmental quality monitoring platforms like: FreshWater Watch, KdUINO, OdourCollect, iSpex and CanAir.io.
The innovative services will be designed, prototyped and implemented for improving the data and information quality using deep machine learning, automatic video recognition, advanced mobile app interfaces, and other cutting-edge technologies, based on data models and data protocols validated by traditional science. The new services will provide mechanisms to ensure the visibility and recognition of data contributors and the tools to improve networking between various stakeholders. Novel innovative digital services will be developed through the integration of CS products, generated by different providers, following open standards to ensure their interoperability, and offered in agile, fit-for-purpose and sustainable site available through EOSC hub, including a discovery service, to both traditional and citizen scientists.
The design of new services will be user oriented, engaging a wide range of stakeholders in society, government, industry, academia, agencies, and research to co-design service requirements. As a result, COS4CLOUD will integrate citizen science in the European Open Science Cloud, bringing Citizen Science (CS) projects as a service for the scientific community and society at large.
DEEP - Hybrid-DataCloud
PROJECT COORDINATOR
The Designing and Enabling E-infrastructures for intensive Processing in a Hybrid DataCloud (DEEP-Hybrid-DataCloud) is project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 777435. The key concept proposed in the DEEP-Hybrid-DataCloud project is the need to support intensive computing techniques that require specialized HPC hardware, like GPUs or low-latency interconnects, to explore very large datasets. A Hybrid Cloud approach enables the access to such resources that are not easily reachable by the researchers at the scale needed in the current EU e-infrastructure.
We also propose to deploy under the common label of “DEEP as a Service” a set of building blocks that enable the easy development of applications requiring these techniques: deep learning using neural networks, parallel post-processing of very large data, and analysis of massive online data streams . These services will be deployed in the project testbed, offered to the research communities linked to the project through pilot applications, and integrated under the EOSC framework, where they can be further scaled up in the future

COVID 19 en español
Investigación interdisciplinar sobre terminología, temáticas y comunicación de la ciencia.
Proyecto intramural del CSIC que se plantea el análisis del corpus completo de noticias sobre COVID19 publicadas por The Conversation (en español) con seis objetivos fundamentales:
- Estudiar el lenguaje y especialmente la terminología utilizada en la comunicación sobre COVID19. Representar la “nueva terminología” y los conceptos asociados mediante herramientas de la web semántica, que supongan aportar conocimiento estructurado y sólido a la nube de datos lingüísticos. Para ello se procederá a la extracción de términos del corpus mediante herramientas ya entrenadas, se convertirán a RDF y se enriquecerán con relaciones jerárquicas y de dominio, de forma que el resultado sea una terminología semánticamente enriquecida.
- Cartografiar los temas tratados y crear una ontología que permita observar la presencia e interrelación entre las distintas disciplinas científicas. Se examinarán con especial atención la perspectiva y las aportaciones desde las Humanidades y las Ciencias Sociales.
- Estudiar el discurso y la argumentación a través de dos estudios de caso, mediante el trabajo con especialistas y el apoyo en tecnologías semánticas.
- Obtener la red de especialistas en COVID19 y su relación con los distintos temas, aplicando metodologías de supercomputación y creando así un conjunto de datos (dataset) que siga los principios FAIR de ciencia abierta.
- Estudiar el ciclo de vida de la información científica, comenzando desde las fuentes originales citadas hasta su posible repercusión e impacto.
- Examinar las innovaciones producidas en la comunicación científica y darlas a conocer entre estructuras editoriales, instituciones de investigación e instituciones de política científica.
Para abordar estos objetivos se ha constituido un equipo multidisciplinar, que ya trabaja conjuntamente en el marco de la Plataforma Temática Interdisciplinar del CSIC ES CIENCIA, sobre el español como lengua de comunicación científica. En el equipo hay especialistas en Lexicografía, Terminología, Lingüística Computacional, Tecnologías semánticas, Humanidades Digitales, Edición Académica y Estudios Sociales de la Ciencia.
