This deliverable, D3.2 "Demonstrator Implementation Guidelines" draws first a roadmap towards the hosting of the demonstrators' technologies by the Blue-Cloud VRE, in order to set up the Blue-Cloud Virtual Laboratory.
This deliverable, D3.3 "Blue Cloud Demonstrator Users Handbook V1" is a first version of the handbook and guidelines on how to use the Virtual Research Environments (VREs) of the five demonstrators. For each demonstrator, the following information will be described: the objective, the targeted users, a summary of their provided services and the guidelines of how to use their respective VREs.
The Blue-Cloud project is developing a cyber platform bringing together and providing access to multidisciplinary data from observations and models, analytical tools, and computing facilities essential to support research to understand better and manage the many aspects of ocean sustainability.
The Blue-Cloud project plans to pilot a cyber platform bringing together and providing access to multidisciplinary data from observations and models, analytical tools, and computing facilities essential to support research to understand better and manage the many aspects of ocean sustainability.
The Blue-Cloud Service platform will feature a variety of services that can be used for undertaking world-class science via the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) framework, by featuring leading operational marine research infrastructures and e-infrastructures. For that purpose, Blue-Cloud builds a service catalogue which will be integrated in the EOSC Portal.
The Blue-Cloud "Communication, Stakeholders Engagement & Uptake of Blue Cloud VRE & Services" Work Package (WP5) overarching objective is to ensure a consistent and content-rich communication and dissemination of Blue-Cloud results to its relevant stakeholders, by using multiple integrated communication tools, for the roll-out of the Blue-Cloud services and demonstrate impact in the Blue Economy and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). To assure this, an effective and efficient communication, dissemination and stakeholder engagement strategy & plan must be defined.
The Horizon 2020 Blue-Cloud (B-C) project launched in October 2019, aiming to demonstrate the potential of web-based Open Science in the marine domain. To deliver on this objective, it is piloting the development of a web-based cyber platform that will provide marine scientists with enhanced analytical capabilities.
The main goal of Blue-Cloud WP5 is to deliver and maintain a Communication, Marketing & Dissemination Plan and Strategy for the pan-European rollout of the Blue-Cloud services. As part of this strategy, the project is identifying the Blue-Cloud Key Exploitable Results (KERs) to be disseminated towards key stakeholders. This is done through consistent and content-rich communication activities, by using multiple integrated communication tools. The success of this mission is highly dependent on a continuous interaction with all WPs.
As part of the EU H2020 Blue-Cloud project activities are undertaken for developing and deploying a Blue-Cloud cyber infrastructure with smart federation of multidisciplinary data repositories, analytical tools, and computing facilities.
This deliverable aims to address the main ethical aspects of the Blue-Cloud project. As such, it identifies first the involvement of users in the various activities around the project. On this basis, it also provides templates for the information and consent form for the participation of humans during these activities in Blue-Cloud.
