The overall objective of the EOSC Ocean & Waters Node is to consolidate a marine thematic node in EOSC Federation, establishing the sustainability and governance conditions that will guide the transition towards becoming an EDITO core component for the implementation of a fully operational EOSC node. The action is championing a vision where major EU marine knowledge assets (i.e. EMODnet, Copernicus Marine, EDITO), environmental and marine Research Infrastructures are central and will be combined to establish the EOSC Ocean & Waters Node for delivering FAIR open data and analytical services that will drive marine data provision and open science developments for the ocean, European seas, coastal and inland water.

CMCC role
CMCC will contribute to the sharing of knowledge and capabilities across the EOSC Marine ecosystem by deploying the marine environmental indicators framework, supporting cross-domain collaboration and decision-making within the scientific community. The framework will offer functionalities for the browsing and visualization of newly generated outputs, and will integrate core services developed within the project, enabling indicators to reach higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRL). As part of this effort, CMCC will update the processing component for the Marine Heatwave indicator. The resulting capability will be integrated into EOSC Marine, with the expected result of providing benefit to the wider scientific community.
