The European Open Science Cloud for Research Pilot (EOSCpilot) is a two year project (2017–2018) which aims to establish the governance framework for the EOSC, and demonstrate its feasibility through a number of pilots that integrate services and infrastructures across different scientific domains. The project engages with a broad range of stakeholders, crossing borders and communities, to build the trust and skills required for adoption of an open approach to scientific research.
HYTELI - Wellbeing, health care and sports innovation platforms The aim of the project is to develop technologically advanced innovation platforms and environments in order to increase the international level of technology expertise and boost the competitiveness in the Kainuu area, located in north-eastern Finland.
CINECA aims to provide a standardized, secure and scalable discovery and analysis infrastructure for data collected from the national cohorts and disease collections. The CINECA consortium includes access to more than 1.4 million samples maintained by the biobank network in Europe, Africa and Canada.
The European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases brings over 130 institutions from 35 countries to create a comprehensive, sustainable ecosystem allowing a virtuous circle between research, care and medical innovation.
HPC-GIG project (HPC Governance Intelligence Gathering) will provide intelligence gathering from the European HPC stakeholders for the Governance of the Euro High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU).
High-Performance Digitisation initiative creates an intelligent annotation pipeline and a corresponding service for processing and enriching archived material, such as scanned newspapers, books and official documents. This material is digitised in large scale but the usability of the archives could and should be much higher. The new pipeline runs in a supercomputing environment and uses high-performance GPU accelerated machine learning methods for computer vision and artificial intelligence based annotation.
The objective of the BIOMIT project is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from industry by developing measurement solutions for the optimization of bioenergy production and mining processes. The aim is also to reduce the environmental impacts of industry by developing solutions for water management in the process industry and mines as well as new methods for efficient utilization of Kainuu area biomasses and their lateral flows in accordance with the principles of circular economy.
LIIKUTPA – “New technologies and services for sports and well-being” project is coordinated by the University of Jyväskylä. The goal of the project is to produce measurement and testing solutions that enable self-sufficient welfare and health care, development of public health care in direction of remote and self-diagnosis as well as the development of Finnish professional sports and sports technology business.
The EMREX Network empowers individuals to control their own electronic student data and exchange it across borders, for example, in applying for studies, getting employed or recognizing a degree.
INAR Ecosystems is a national collaboration of terrestrial ecosystem and biodiversity research organizations and data management centres. It is complementing the Finnish Institute for Atmospheric and Earth System Research (INAR) in improving the research infrastructures for in forests, peatlands, agricultural fields and urban areas. The activities of INAR Ecosystems include upgrading research infrastructures at various ecosystem observation stations and experimental stations and laboratories, coordination of their national activities and creation of deeper co-within ecosystem research in Finland.
Main objective of the scientific Center of Excellence is to reduce the scientific uncertainties related to climate change at global scale by quantifying the essential feedback mechanisms between the atmospheric processes and changing functioning of biosphere.
Data analytics, big data and artificial intelligence are the major tools for modern companies to achieve large-scale competitive advantages. The target of this project is to speed-up the up-take of data analytics methods in regional companies and in the Kainuu region as whole. The project creates a straightforward process for companies and institutions to quickly try out the possibilities of data analytics and to launch new data driven solutions.
The e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG) is a strategic body to facilitate integration in the area of European e-Infrastructures and connected services, within and between member states, at the European level and globally. E-IRG is a self-regulated and independent body consisting of delegations from the EU Member States and Associated Countries and the European Commission. E-IRG was established in 2003 and CSC has been involved as a national delegate almost from the beginning.
Understanding and predicting the behaviour of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) on decadal to centennial time scales is of global importance to policy decisions, mainly due high uncertainty in the AIS contribution to sea level change. Significant regions of the AIS rest on bedrock below sea level and may be vulnerable to Marine Ice Sheet Instability (MISI), a mechanism for rapid and potentially irreversible discharge of ice. Due to large uncertainty as to which basins are vulnerable to MISI, and how rapid their unstable retreat might be, even the sign of the contribution of the AIS to sea level rise remains uncertain according to the fifth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The Intel Parallel Computing Center (IPCC) at CSC is a collaborative effort aimed at code modernisation of key scientific codes for Finnish computational science. In collaboration with Intel, we have explored cutting-edge processor architectures and adapted scientific codes to utilise them more efficiently.
Compleap is an EU-funded project that aims to empower the citizen to better control their competence development. This is done by creating an architecture framework and three prototypes that support the planning of individuals own learner pathway for professional development. Working from an European wide perspective we aim to see the challenges and positive innovations in the process of competence development.
