EPOS-NG had a joint stand with European Plate Observing System and the Geo-Inquire project at the iEarth – Senteret for Integrert Geovitenskapelig utdanning career day at University of Bergen. It was great to meet the geoscience students and discuss potential careers in research and data management.
2-4 March 2026: First EPOS-NG Scientific Workshop, Bergen
This week, we hosted the first EPOS‑NG scientific workshop. The event brought together the project team, our user panels (representing research, education, industry, and risk management), and the external advisory board. Together, we discussed project progress and explored how the EPOS‑NG infrastructure can be applied across a range of scientific and societal challenges.
The program featured: Presentations of EPOS‑NG instrument pools, services, and datasets; an interactive session on further developing the EPOS‑NO data portal; discussions on potential test projects and infrastructure use cases; and targeted feedback sessions with the user panels and advisory board. It was absolutely wonderful to see the extended EPOS‑NG community in person, and we are excited to start turning the valuable feedback we received into action.
13-15 January 2026: EPOS-NG Connects with Nordic Partners in Turku, Finland
EPOS-NG joined partners from EPOS-FI and EPOS-SE at the 37th Nordic Geological Winter Meeting in Turku, Finland. A central theme from the sessions, particularly “Geohazards in a Changing Climate,” was clear: the Arctic and Nordic regions urgently need advanced, integrated monitoring to address rising geological risks. This mission is why EPOS-NG exists. We are building Norway’s next-generation infrastructure to deliver the precise data and tools required to understand and mitigate these evolving hazards, empowering scientists and decision-makers across the region.
