Registration open for final ESCAPE meeting

BY DR LUIGI COLUCCI (ESCAPE)

The ESCAPE project, which is a European Commission-funded project running since 2019, is completing its work after three highly productive years. Its final event, ESCAPE to the Future, will be held between 25 and 26 October at the Royal Belgium Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels.

ESCAPE has brought together communities from several major research infrastructures in astronomy, astro-particle and high-energy physics to develop technologies to improve the way these great experiments can coordinate, make available and process their vast amounts of scientific data. The work has covered a range of areas including citizen science, data management, scientific analysis, software curation and sharing, and making use of the virtual observatory standards to improve data findability and interoperability.

The final meeting will see ESCAPE members share their results and achievements, present ESCAPE services and discuss future challenges after the project ends.

The event is open to all and free of charge. Registration is open until 24 September and attendance is welcome in person or through remote connection; please note in-person attendance is limited to 150 people, so early registration is advised.
