Event Title:FIRMS Steering Committee Meeting - 8th Session

  • Venue: Rome, Italy - FAO Headquarters
  • Dates: 4-8 February 2013
  • URL:
  • Brief Description of Event: The prototype of an integrated search environment developed by FAO (Fisheries department) for the Smartfish project will be presented at the FIRMS Steering Committee Meeting (4-8 February 2013). The prototype tackles requirements of semantic interoperability for three information systems (FIRMS, StatBase and WIOFish) publishing information on fisheries and marine resources. The prototype adopts the Fisheries Linked Open Data (FLOD) semantic knowledge base developed by iMarine as the backbone to facilitated integrated search capabilities. The meeting will showcase to relevant stakeholders how data harmonization with semantic technologies can support the generation of dynamic fact sheets.

Event Title: Arctic and Marine Research Infrastructures workshop

  • Venue: Rome, Italy
  • Dates: 17-18 September, 2013
  • URL:
  • Brief Description of Event: The Commission is organizing a workshop in Rome, on 17 (afternoon)-18 September on Arctic and Marine Research Infrastructures: it will gather key European stakeholders (ESFRI and other relevant European initiatives, FP7 Research Infrastructures coordinators etc.). It will take place just before a EU-Canada-US Symposium on the same topic. The objective of the workshop is twofold: - identifying areas and ways of cooperation with third countries, in particular US and Canada; - discussing European research infrastructures strategies, in particular in the context of the work of ESFRI, and synergies between key European initiatives and infrastructures projects. We expect in-depth discussions and exchanges on three key overarching issues: a) science planning from the short- to the long-term; b) coordination, harmonization and access to facilities and data; and c) proposing, evaluating and funding research infrastructures. The outcome of the workshop will feed the above mentioned Symposium. We tentatively estimate the number of participants to around 50. For your information it follows a series of workshopsorganized in other fields e.g. on research infrastructures for atmospheric or biodiversity/ecosystems research (information can be found here http://www.test.ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm?pg=synergies). The workshop will take place in Rome, hosted by CNR. Contact to attend the workshop: Agnes.ROBIN@ec.europa.eu
