When Alberto Michelini, Director of the National Earthquake Center of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), Italy got involved in EUDAT he was looking for help to manage complex and diverse seismological data. He got a lot more than he bargained for and in a frank interview he provides a 9-point checklist for communities on why and how they should get involved and how to prepare to get it right. Alberto also points out some home truths about the realities of research time versus data management time to inspire us to get on with the spring-cleaning and proper organisation of our data. http://www.eudat.eu/news-media/published-articles/data-services-technology-expertise-community-perspective

The EUDAT User Forum gives communities and interested parties a chance to air their views and discuss collaboration now and in the future with EUDAT.

Presentations from communities using and planning to use EUDAT data services will provide tangible examples of best practice. Participants can interact with EUDAT technical experts to understand how the services can be practically used and implemented in their everyday work.
