H2020 ESCAPE Progress Meeting 2020

The first ESCAPE progress meeting will take place on 26-27 February 2020 at the Royal Library of Belgium in Brussels. After the ESCAPE kickoff meeting in February 2019, this two-day progress meeting will bring together the H2020-ESCAPE consortium members, ESCAPE General Assembly members, ESCAPE external expert advisory board members as well as members from EOSC stakeholder projects.

Meeting Venue: Royal Library of Belgium, Brussels, Belgium.

Meeting Dates:  26-27 February 2020

Registration deadline:  14 February 2020

Objective of the meeting: In the first year of the project all the ESCAPE workpackages have finalized their workplans.  The ESCAPE progress meeting will provide a platform to the project members to discuss and identify interfaces between various workpackages and set-up cross workpackage groups. Some of the topics that will be discussed during this meeting includes AAI, Software repository and catalogue, ESCAPE Data Lake and Science Platform as well as Virtual Observatory access. Workpackage leads can also use this occasion to plan for the upcoming six months in view of the mid-term review in September 2020.

In addition, this event will provide an opportunity to the ESCAPE general assembly members and external expert advisory board members to review the activities carried out in the first year of the project. Over the last year, ESCAPE has also actively participated and contributed to the EOSC Executive Board Architecture Group as well as important EOSC events and meetings. During the progress meeting, we will discuss the present updates on the EOSC EB working groups and define how ESCAPE can contribute to these working groups. The event will also discuss the networking and collaboration with other EOSC cluster projects.

 

Who should attend?

  • Day 1 - 26 February 2020: The first day of the event will be a dedicated to technical discussions to encourage cross-workpackage discussions within ESCAPE project members.  Day 1 will be open to all the ESCAPE consortium members and invitees from EOSC stakeholder projects.
  • Day 2 morning - 27 February 2020:  Second day of the event will be divide into two  sessions.  The morning session will be open to ESCAPE consortium members as well as the external members from EOSC projects addressing ESCAPE contribution and collaboration with EOSC stakeholder projects.
  • Day 2 afternoon - 27 February 2020: The afternoon session however will be a closed session and it will be open EXCLUSIVELY to ESCAPE General Assembly, External Expert Advisory Board and Executive board members.

      One of the main ESCAPE aims is the linking of the software and services, generated or linked to the activities in our community, to the EOSC portal.

      The aim of this session is to define the requirements and answer questions of all partners how this can be established and the definition of a time line and decision points towards this goal.

      This session is open to all work packages.

      The ESCAPE Executive Board has released a Position Statement about EOSC.
      This document summarizes the current views and expectations of astronomy and particle physics partners in ESCAPE about EOSC. It is written keeping in mind the various exchanges that are taking place with the EOSC secretariat, governance and working groups. It is also written to follow up the EC chaired EOSC stakeholders' concertation events aiming at gathering the scientific views on the implementation of EOSC.
      The ESCAPE Test Science Projects concept could be key in supporting the involvement of research community in Open Science and in the EOSC implementation. This view is developed and discussed.

        Towards an ESCAPE Test Science Project on Dark Matter 10m

        The apparent excess of "dark matter" in the universe remains one of the outstanding questions in science. It is clear that solving this puzzle requires combined expertise from a variety of fields (e.g. astroparticle physics, particle physics, and nuclear physics). It also requires mastering challenges related to data acquisition, selection and analysis, as well as making data and results available to the broader science communities, which are all ESCAPE drivers. This contribution presents the outcome of the first discussions towards creating a common Test Science Project on Dark Matter searches, and is aimed to stimulate the dialogue between dark matter researchers and ESCAPE members

        Real time Multi Messenger Analysis and Machine Learning in ESCAPE framework 10m

        Multi-messenger astronomy (MMA) opens new scenarios for the observation of the universe, new perspectives for investigations, but also new challenges for the way of extracting every information that these astrophysical events bring with them. The synergy between the information that only gravitational waves can provide and the concomitant observations through other detectors of the electromagnetic part or neutrinos can exponentially accelerate our knowledge of the universe.
        It is clear that the multi-messenger astronomy opens up the needs of new paradigms for data analysis and new challenges for real-time analysis.
        ESCAPE Test science case for MMA represents a transversal project crossing all the ESF/RI involved in the project as well as all the activities in the ESCAPE WPs
