Scientific discovery today increasingly depends on the availability and effective use of digital services and infrastructures that span the entire research workflow. From initial data generation and acquisition, through storage, processing, analysis, and collaboration, to dissemination and long-term preservation, researchers rely on a diverse ecosystem of tools that must interoperate seamlessly. While individual solutions exist for many of these steps, the real potential emerges when services are integrated across providers and disciplines, enabling researchers to work more efficiently, transparently, and at scale.
This session will showcase how e-infrastructure tools, services, and integration projects can support researchers in tackling complex scientific and societal challenges. We aim to highlight how interoperable digital services can complement each other to provide end-to-end support, how integration across infrastructures strengthens research capacity, and how collaboration between providers and communities can foster innovative solutions.
We particularly welcome contributions that:
- Demonstrate practical examples of how digital services and infrastructures enhance research workflows in Earth and environmental sciences.
- Present approaches to integrating tools and services across domains and providers, including outcomes from collaborative projects, to deliver more comprehensive user support.
- Share lessons learned from engaging with research communities, including user-driven design, training, and support strategies.
- Address challenges of interoperability and sustainability of distributed digital services, and highlight pathways to foster collaboration across infrastructures and research domains.
By bringing together diverse perspectives from service providers, research infrastructures, and end users, this session will provide researchers with a unique overview of the digital landscape available to support their work. It will also foster dialogue on how different infrastructures can collaborate more effectively, and how the research community can take full advantage of integrated, sustainable digital solutions to advance both science and society.
