30th EEB Meeting - April 2025
Discussion on EOSC nodes
Presentation by Alberto.
Giovanni L. After reading the handbook, there is good alignement between what is expected, and what could be an ESCAPE Node.
The commission informed us about the second wave, but delayed, not before end of 2025.
Offline, we had a discussion and what prevented the ESCAPE candidature, was that we did not have or planned to deploy a central help desk and monitoring system. The node is also considered an association of coordinating partner, this will be reproposed positively. Not yet convinced about the opportunity.
It was considered CNRS as coordinator guaranteeing the liability of an ESCAPE thematic node, and they have not yet given a green light for the coordination of such a node.
There is a need to deploy the national centres as part of the ESCAPE collaboration. There is some availability expressed by partners in Italy, Germany and maybe France.
There should be a clear part in understanding that if we do not propose an ESCAPE candidature, how will our disciplines be represented ? It might not be because the thematic nodes are mostly coming from the clusters. Maybe we should go ahead to guarantee the representativeness of our thematics in the EOSC Federation.
We have to consider that in the next weeks/months. Once we have more info from CNRS, it will be presented to the SB.
There is a call to fund a few projects that will deploy a node. It is open to any candidate node and discussions are in progress to know if we go with other clusters or on our own. If someone is interested in participating in the preparation, let me know.
VRE Demo
Mark: How are resources allocated on this system? This is one of the major request for EU Nodes.
Enrique: The ESCAPE VRE resources are currently running on CERN resources, those dedicated to the ESCAPE collaboration. For the EOSC integration the VRE could be integrated as part of the CERN Node, meaning that the different extension would be deployed.
We have to understand how to connect the ESCAPE AAI to the EOSC. Once this is solved, we can go further.
Martino: Who to contact if I have questions after trying this out?
Alberto: You can contact Alberto, Giovanni G and Enrique.
There is also a Mattermost instance which is very active in the VRE working group.
Martino: Doesn’t EduGain integrate automatically with the EU Node AAI ?
Enrique: the ESCAPE credentials (to just access the ESCAPE VRE, not the EU resources, are not yet ready.
Martino: I will try to play around the VRE and come back with questions.
Mark: Can we test notebooks for schools on the ESCAPE VRE?
Enrique: The VRE is there for the ESCAPE Collaboration. It is there to provide services so anybody who wants to add notebooks for educational purposes, or joint analysis, can use the VRE.
Mark: The training materials were usually deployed to the OSSR. Are those resources from the OSSR findable or usable through the VRE?
Enrique: It is not fully operational but is being implemented.
Martino: Can you give the list of the github page with all the definition of the environments?

OSSR:
Alberto: have there been some specific meetings on the containers’ security?
-
ESAP / VRE
Enrique: question about the integration into EOSC resources. These notebooks could also run on the VRE.
Mark: students have 0 credits and therefore cannot test the notebooks.
Alberto: please share meetings with me to make sure we don’t miss some in all the mailing lists
Mark: we plan to use the ESCAPE indico for the school & other event.
We will advertise the school before the summer.
Marco: Forum in Trieste from 6-10 October. Will see how many people are interested. We will circulate an email soon.

DIOS
Let us know if someone would like to host the 2026 Rucio workshop, and we need someone from ESCAPE to join the program committee.

CS
Update on OSCARS projects ETAP & MADDEN
Stephen: ETAP citizen science definition is different from that of the ESCAPE CS working group
Discussion around next call
Giovanni added 2 documents on the Indico.
Please look into the HORIZON-INFRA-2025-01 call.
Please give your feedback on the questions document and reply to the 4 questions. On a short term notice.
Alberto to prepare an email to invite people to answer.
Stephen: is anyone aware of any other cluster thinking about it?
Giovanni: PANOSC is also one of the nodes that have been accepted in the first wave and is willing to lead a proposal. Discussion to associate with LS cluster and ESCAPE cluster. Funding is limited so they are willing to reduce the participation of other SC/ LS cluster is leading 2 nodes so they have not released too much information. The ENVRI cluster doesn’t go with unique proposal because they have a thematic one on some disciplines and other components go under a proposal led by EGI (e-infrastructure). This doesn’t fit with the ESCAPE mission and we will stay more on the scientific part, either alone or with other SC. But alone would mean a certain level of effort, which is why we want you to answer the questions.
