Telespazio UK has launched the second Invitation to Tender through the esa-star Best Practice for the selection of subcontractors for EarthCODE – Earth Science Collaborative Open Development Environment of European Space Agency – ESA.
What is EarthCODE?
EarthCODE is an ambitious project aimed at implementing the Open Science vision set forth in the 2024 ESA EO Science Strategy.
By enabling the adoption of FAIR and Open practices in ESA Earth Science activities, EarthCODE looks to maximise the wide use of new science data and methods.
EarthCODE is directly integrated with several EO cloud computing platforms and consolidates resulting data and workflows into the EarthCODE catalogue, making them easily findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.
The objective of this second Best Practice is to bring additional expertise on FAIR scientific computing and data management, community management and dissemination, as well as to integrate operational platforms with existing user bases to the EarthCODE ecosystem.
Selected platforms will provide the necessary computational resources for the development and execution of reproducible scientific workflows by the ESA Science Clusters activities, building on existing services (primarily from the NoR offering).
Finally, EarthCODE focuses on useability and engagement and leverages technology to create a hub for scientific knowledge exchange, collaboration and learning in FAIR and Open Earth System Science.
How to Apply: Interested organizations are invited to respond to this ITT on esa-star.
Closing Date: 07/04/2025 13:00 CET.
