36th EFFoST International Conference 2022 | Shaping the Production of Sustainable, Healthy Foods for the Future
Special Session: How to make food nutrition security data FAIRer: An introduction to FNS-Cloud | 9th November 2022, 09:00 Dublin/GMT
Open Science is based on transparent and collaborative working, producing and sharing data, knowledge, tools, and services (resources) as early as possible in the research process. Existing food nutrition security resources across Europe are fragmented, lack critical mass, and access is unevenly distributed with the majority unfindable or inaccessible because of cost. Food Nutrition Security Cloud is developing the first-generation ‘food cloud’ by federating existing and emerging resources and developing and integrating services to support re-use through the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). This session will introduce FNS-Cloud and explore how FNS-Cloud is bringing independent activities together under three demonstrators, specifically Agri-food data and tools (DEM01), Nutrition & Lifestyle (DEM02), and Non-communicable diseases and microbiome (DEM03). In September 2023, FNS-Cloud will launch these demonstrators and advance ICT tools and services, facilitating better FNS research and exploitation of knowledge as well as delivering training and support to boost confidence and build capacity amongst user communities.

EGI Conference 2022 | Together for Tomorrow – Innovative Computing for Research
Data and computer services for the food sector | FNS-Cloud workshop (Prague, CZ)
21st September 2022, 15:30 CEST
FNS-Cloud aims to overcome European research infrastructure fragmentation by federating food nutrition security (FNS) data, tools, and services (resources) essential for addressing diet, health, and consumer behaviour as well as on sustainable agriculture and the bioeconomy. The implemented cloud solution (FNS Cloud, no hyphen) will promote FAIRification of FNS resources and support exploitation by user communities. Sustainability of FNS Cloud (solution) will be achieved largely through added value, linking existing and emerging research infrastructures as well as data, tools, and services. FNS Cloud comprises a webservice, linking resources and delivering Services via a user interface, regardless of location. However, whilst FNS-Cloud (project) assets (datasets, tools, and services) have been built with interoperability in mind, the majority of FNS resources across the EU have developed separately, often organically, making mapping, merging, and exploitation challenging both technically and in terms of the research questions that can be posed and answered. The session will brought together representatives from EuroFIR, METROFOOD, Blue Cloud, COMFOCUS, Elixir, ECRIN, FNHRI, EOSC to explore future FAIRification of food sector data, tools and services.

Topics included: (i) why open science is important, (ii) components making up open science, (iii) how research can be made more open and FAIR, (iv) practical advantages of open science for scientific careers, funding opportunities, and society, and (v) EOSC and the FNS-Cloud activities.All participants agreed their basic knowledge about open science was satisfactory after the workshop; before the workshop only one participant claimed satisfactory understanding open science. The strong interactive character of the workshop was highly appreciated with participants saying, “role play and debate“, “discussions and roundtables” and “interactive sessions” were their favourite parts. Nine delegates attended the workshop, seven of whom completed the evaluation and earned FNS-Cloud certification
We are now preparing for the 2022 workshops, starting at the EuroFIR Food Forum (06.04.2022) in Brussels (BE).
