Geo-INQUIRE will provide and enhance access to selected key data, products, and services, enabling the dynamic processes within the
geosphere to be monitored and modelled at new levels of spatial and temporal detail and precision. Geo-INQUIRE aims to overcome cross-domain
barriers, especially the land-sea-atmosphere environments, and will exploit innovative data management techniques, modelling and simulations
methods, developments in AI and big data, and extend existing data infrastructures to disseminate these resources to the wider scientific
community, including the EOSC landscape. Geo-INQUIRE benefits from a unique partnership of 52 partners consisting of major national research
institutes, universities, national geological surveys, and European consortia. Geo-INQUIRE will enhance and make interoperable the activities of
the involved partners and conduct dedicated training programs for their optimal use. A portfolio of 150 Virtual Access (VA) and Transnational
Access (TA, both virtual and on-site) installations will be offered to the scientific community. While many such resources are already available at a
high level of maturity, Geo-INQUIRE will ensure that they not only reach the highest level of scientific excellence through targeted actions on
availability, quality, and spatial and temporal resolution, but also that they follow FAIR principles, adopt proper standards and open licenses, and
aim at cross-disciplinary interoperability. Furthermore, the integration of different data, including new observables, products, and services will be
optimized through TA activities via 7 test beds, which will also host workshops and summer schools dealing with the available resources.
Ultimately, Geo-INQUIRE, with its enhanced data, product, and service portfolio, will enable the next generation of scientists to carry out leadingedge
research addressing societal challenges from a multidisciplinary perspective, making intelligent use of these resources.
