The Research Infrastructure project NERIES (www.neries-eu.org) is developing a comprehensive portal providing access to a wide variety of earthquake seismological data in Europe and its surroundings. An a-version, merging parametric data from the EMSC with waveform data from the European Integrated Distributed Archive (EIDA) is currently being tested by a selected users group. At this stage the NERIES development team is planning the next development steps of the portal, which should include different data and application tools. For this purpose the NERIES team joined forces with IT specialists from the University of Edinburgh (The UK National e-Science Centre, School of Informatics and EPCC coordinating the ADMIRE project for data mining and integration) to organise a brainstorming meeting.

Target Audience

We expect participation from experienced seismologist, earth scientists using seismological earthquake data and scientific data portal developers, students in seismology and IT and NERIES activity leaders and participants. We aim at a meeting with a maximum of 40-50 participants.
