11. + COOPEUS aims to catalyze international collaboration among environmental research infrastructures by: By easing data accessibility through harmonization of data policies By promoting interoperability of Research Infrastructures on all levels (System, syntactic, structural and sematic interoperability) By improving data and information quality by defining the minimum requirements on work-flow descriptions COOPEUS Goals

12. + 1.Investigating commonalities and difference in the data policies to formulate minimum requirements for policy harmonization 2.Interoperability of RIs will be investigated using User scenarios simulating RI collaborations monitoring an environmental hazards/event (e.g. Volcanic eruptions, Upwelling zones) 3.Highlight topics essential RI collaboration and interoperatbility to a broader audience at Conferences, Workshops and Meetings (e.g. PID- workshop, RI- harmonization workshop) COOPEUS framework
