Thanks a lot to the Green Deal Data Space | GREAT Project for the privilege to add my voice to this panel and milestone event! Here is a summary of my contributions, related to achieving interoperability in the Green Deal Data Space: ❓ Interoperability is a big challenge in data spaces, at all levels. It requires big investments and interoperability of infrastructures, semantics, and data at wide scale proofs a challenge. In many cases the end users don't see the outcomes of these efforts. 🗨 Many users will only see something if there is interoperability. The only reason why I can, pull in any map service is due to standards and interoperability. What is true is that existing users often feel they do not benefit from efforts that enable new user groups to use existing data. In other words, they are sceptical of "interoperability for the others". By harmonising data, we perform a proper quality assurance of the as-is data for the first time, and we often fix thousands of errors in that as-is data. This is something that users of as-is data will also profit from. ❓ Can you tell us if interoperability is a pathway for usability and adoption? 🗨 You can also revert the question to get an answer: Would you consider using a data set that is not documented, sometimes not accessible, and encoded in a weird proprietary format? My experience is that everybody expects interoperability, to easily find and access the data, read it, and process it. The three main enablers of making this workare: ➡ Accessible, understandable Documentation ➡ Defined semantics and conceptual models ➡ Open Formats and Open API specifications ❓ How can we justify the investments? 🗨 We can look at the alternatives. It is a bit like in reducing GHG emissions vs. adapting to the consequences of those same emissions. Just last week, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Research has published a study that it is about 6 times cheaper to reduce emissions than to adapt to climate change. The alternative to sharing interoperable, re-useable data to enable the Green Deal is very similar: Data needs to be collected and processed again, by every actor by themselves. This will cause delays in working towards achieving the Green Deal objectives, and it will cause costs. What is difficult is agreeing on things like common semantics. The actual costs of achieving interoperability, once a community has agreed, don't have to be high and can be phased. We have shown that it is possible to harmonise data sets at low cost while achieving high quality thousands of times. I think the key point to achieve data interoperability efficiently is to think about synergies across domains, processes and existing standards. Don't reinvent, but rather, connect & map what is there, and then fill in gaps as really required by high value use cases. In a GDDS, we will need to strike a balance, with all actors, including the data users, comitting and pitching in, to achieve our goals.

Greetings! Recently, we have assessed the famous EDC combustion model to be implemented with finite rate chemistry in a fire scenario. Several kinetics mechanisms for three different fuels are being analysed. Based on what we observed, the performances of simple (global) reaction mechanisms are relatively good in capturing the extinction phenomenon in fire If this work is not exciting enough, and you need to feed your mind with some more breakthroughs in combustion, then I would highly recommend Prof. Alexander Snegirev's work (https://lnkd.in/e8sZw2Dh), where a novel sub-grid combustion model is currently being developed Both these works were presented at "The Combustion Institute 40th International Symposium: Emphasizing Energy Transition" at the Allianz MiCo Congress Center in Milan, Italy #40thISOC #fire #combustion #research #LES #CFD

Still one day left to register, do so now! I will be pleased to chair the session on “Power, (im)mobility and accessibility: politicizing transport”. We will focus on three topics: - What are the main challenges of accessibility? - How do questions of scale (national, regional, local) affect the interactions between accessibility, mobility, and regional/urban planning? - In what ways do current planning and policy-making processes include the needs voiced by citizens? Keen to be part of TOD-IS-RUR Network!

I will talk about NMR and fragment-based drug design. More specifically why I think the future of this field will be driven by benchtop NMR applications. If this topic interests you as much as me, let’s meet in Brisbane!
