EPOS will integrate the European Research Infrastructures for solid
Earth Science, and will build new e-science opportunities to monitor and understand the dynamic and
complex solid-Earth System. Integration of the existing national and trans-national research
infrastructures will increase access and use of the multidisciplinary data recorded by the solid
Earth monitoring networks, acquired in laboratory experiments and/or produced by computational
simulations. Establishment of EPOS will foster worldwide interoperability in the Earth Sciences and
services to a broad community of users. More you can read on
