This presentation at CERN during the IT Technical Forum on 24 Nov 2017 highlighted the achievement of the Up2University Project (https://up2university.eu/, funded under the EC Call ICT-22-2016: Technologies for Learning and Skills), which aims at bridging the gap between secondary schools, higher education, and the research domain adopting learning technology and methodology to let high school students use the very same tools & services used by real researchers doing Big Science at CERN.
In order to provide concrete example of CERN core technologies running in containers, the Up2U cloud based education services have been ported to the HNSciCloud prototype systems provided by T-Systems and IBM.

The European Open Science Cloud: just what is it?Carole Goble
Presented at Jisc and CNI leaders conference 2018, 2 July 2018, Oxford, UK (https://www.jisc.ac.uk/events/jisc-and-cni-leaders-conference-02-jul-2018). The European Open Science Cloud. What exactly is it? In principle it is conceived as a virtual environment with open and seamless services for storage, management, analysis and re-use of research data, across borders and scientific disciplines. How? By federating existing scientific data infrastructures, currently dispersed across disciplines and Member States. In practice, what it is depends on the stakeholder. To European Research Infrastructures it’s a coordinated mission to organise and exchange their data, metadata, software and services to be FAIR – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable – and to use e-Infrastructures, either EU or commercial. To EU e-Infrastructures offering data storage and cloud services, it’s a funding mission to integrate their services, policies and organisational structures, and to be used by the Research Infrastructures. To agencies it’s a means to promote Open Science, standardisation, cross-disciplinary research and coordinated investment with a dream of a “one stop shop” for researchers. And for Libraries?
Science Demonstrator Session: Social and Earth SciencesEOSCpilot .eu
The main focus of Science Demonstrator sessions is to provide feedback to the EOSC community on the first experience of science demonstrators in the practical use of the emerging EOSC ecosystem.
Each panel will consist of a representative of a Science Demonstrator that will provide an overview of their experiences in the use of emerging EOSC services.
These sessions will help members of the scientific communities understanding the current state of maturity of the EOSC ecosystem and what is obtainable in a field of scientific research. It is also valuable to prospective Service Providers who wish to discover what are the challenges and opportunities that user communities might have to deal with, as a result of the adoption of their services.
This session will focus on Social and Earth Sciences.

Panel at the PEARC 2017 event in New Orleans, July 11-13. Panelists were: Gregory Newby, Chief Technology Officer, Compute Canada; Florian Berberich, Member of the Board of Directors PRACE aisbl; Gergely Sipos, Customer and Technical Outreach Manager, EGI Foundation; and John Towns, Director of Collaborative eScience Programs, National Center for Supercomputing Applications.
Panel abstract: How might the international community of research computing users and stakeholders benefit from knowledge sharing among national- or international-scale research computing organizations and providers? It is common for large-scale investments in research computing systems, services and support to be guided and funded with government oversight and centralized planning. There are many commonalities, including stakeholder relations, outcomes reporting, long-range strategic planning, and governance. What trends exist currently, and how might information sharing and collaboration among resource providers be beneficial? Is there desire to form a partnership, or to build upon existing relationships? Participants in this panel will include personnel involved in US, Canadian and European research computing jurisdictions.
Reproducible Open Science with EGI Notebooks, Binder and ZenodoEGI Federation
Open science is the movement to make scientific research and its dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or professional. Open access and sharing of publications, data, physical samples, and software are central in open science to increase the reproducibility of research. Jupyter Notebooks, Virtualisation/containerisation, Open Access data repositories provide a new foundation for open science, and are key assets for the European Open Science Cloud.
You can put all of this in practice with EGI Notebooks, Binder and Zenodo. To learn how, see the tutorial slides: https://documents.egi.eu/document/3442
EGI Notebooks is a new service from the EGI e-infrastructure collaboration, providing a user-friendly and highly flexible Jupyter-based hosted environment for researchers to develop and share data analysis and visualisation ‘notebooks’. Notebooks can contain programming codes in various languages, HTML scripts, dynamic visualization and equations as well as images and explanatory text that provide guidance and context for the captured data analysis workflows.
Through the notebooks users can easily share concepts, ideas and working applications, containing the full analytical methodology, connections to data sources, visualizations, and descriptive text to interpret those data. With the Binder ‘extension’ of Jupyter one can turn a Github repository with Jupyter notebooks into an executable environment, making code, visualisation and documentation immediately reproducible and reusable by anyone, anywhere.
Jupyter and Binder are becoming pillars for Open Science.
The tutorial will introduce the open access EGI Notebooks service. The tutorial will go through the main features of the EGI Notebooks service and show how to use it with Binder for Open Science. Participants will experience the system through hands-on exercises written in Python based on real applications from the environmental sciences domain. The integrated use of Notebooks with EGI’s DataHub service will be also demonstrated. Communities or national e-infrastructures who would like to setup a similar service locally will be also informed about how to do this.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Physiscope
Physiscope is an outreach programme established in 2007 with the education mandate defined by
the Swiss National Science Foundation
This project has been developed in collaboration with the Physics Department of the University of
Geneva (UniGE)
It consists of an open laboratory where are organized interactive lessons covering different topics of
physics. All the lessons are strongly linked to the contemporary scientific research

Physiscope
The Goal
This programme aims at motivating young people to choose a scientific career
The first step is changing the negative perception of students towards science, physics in particular
The Tools
The approach used by Physiscope is based on the so-called “hands-on science”:
The audience does not attend a frontal lesson but is actively involved in the experiments!
The sessions take place in a dedicated laboratory located next to real research labs
43. 43

Physiscope
The Target
The Physiscope activities are opened to the general public but the main
targets are 12–19 years old students from middle- and high-schools
Some Numbers
This programme is very well known and appreciated in the Geneva area
The number of visitors is still growing: In the past few years
the average number of session is 330/year for more than 5000 students
The Physics department is now studying the
correlation between the observed increase of
the physics 1st year students and the
Physiscope programme

The Main Outcomes
Production of good quality educational material
potentially useful for future developments
at Physiscope
Power of ready-to-go services
for data treatment and sharing
Physics and computer science in education:
The outreach activities often focus on the physics
phenomena and do not consider the technological
tools that scientists use to understand them.
This is crucial for “Up to University students”!

Physiscope + Up2U
How Physiscope could benefit from Up2U services
After an ordinary visit,
interested classes could
have access to the Up2U
platform
Access to data, informatics tools,
and analysis templates
Sharing of scientific materials with
other schools and outreach institutions
53. 53
Outline Up2U Introduction Technology Physiscope Conclusions
Scienscope + Up2U
In 2018 different “scopes” will be officially grouped in a unique institution
The Up2U platform would be an interesting opportunity to improve their activities
and the scientific dialog among them and with other research centers
