EPOS has been designed with the vision of creating a pan-European infrastructure for solid Earth science to support a safe and sustainable society. In accordance with this scientific vision, the EPOS mission is to integrate the diverse and advanced European Research Infrastructures for solid Earth science relying on new e-science opportunities to monitor and unravel the dynamic and complex Earth System. EPOS will enable innovative multidisciplinary research for a better understanding of the Earth’s physical and chemical processes that control earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, ground instability and tsunami as well as the processes driving tectonics and Earth’s surface dynamics. To accomplish its mission, EPOS is engaging different stakeholders, not limited to scientists, to allow the Earth sciences to open new horizons in our understanding of the planet. Through integration of data, models and facilities, EPOS will allow the Earth science community to make a step change in developing new concepts and tools for key answers to scientific and socio-economic questions concerning geo-hazards and geo-resources as well as Earth sciences applications to the environment and human welfare.

Presentation by Harry Lankreijer, ICOS-Carbon Portal, Lund University, Sweden.
ICOS is a pan-European research infrastructure (RI) for observing and understanding the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of Europe and its adjacent regions. The major task of ICOS is to collect and make available in a transparent manner, the high-quality observational data from its state-of-the-art measurement stations. These ICOS data – from atmosphere, ecosystem and ocean stations – will contribute to research aiming to describe and understand the present state of the global carbon cycle. The Carbon Portal will be the virtual data center that present the data products and make it available. This presentation will briefly present the work of ICOS and the Carbon Portal towards open data with FAIR principles. ICOS has an open data policy with free use, requesting the user to give appropriate credit (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 ). The Carbon Portal is developing a data catalogue using an ontology based on a semantic metadata description. This will make it possible to integrate ICOS observations with data from other RI’s as well with data of global networks. For integration, the Carbon Portal is actively following the developments of international standards for eg. metadata and data citation.
Textbook use in England: Mining OFSTED reports for views on mathematics text...Christian Bokhove
Presentation at the International Conference on Mathematics Textbook Research and Development, 29-31 July, Southampton, UK.
Textbook use in mathematics classrooms in England is, according to TIMSS data, “lower than that in the highest-attaining countries” (see Askew et al, 2010, p.34). In England there is an important role for OFSTED, the official body for inspecting schools, when it comes to inspection of the quality of teaching. Previously, it has been suggested that OFSTED holds particular views on textbook use in that opposes an ‘over-reliance’ on textbooks, claiming that “in over a third of classes there was an over-reliance upon a particular published scheme” and that this “usually led to pupils spending prolonged periods of time in which they worked at a slow pace, often on repetitive, undemanding exercises, which did little to advance their skills or understanding of number, much less their interest and enthusiasm for mathematics” (OFSTED, 1993, p. 16). This paper reports on an analysis of almost 10,000 publicly-available OFSTED secondary school inspection reports and mathematics-specific commentaries from the year 2000 until now. The analysis focuses on what OFSTED has said over this period about textbook use in general and about the use of mathematics textbooks in particular. The analysis is complemented by examining whether there are differences across different chief inspectors of OFSTED. The analysis was conducted by first ‘scraping’ the reports from the OFSTED website and then utilising text mining and association analysis techniques to extract features of these documents. While the results of the data mining show that the role of textbooks for OFSTED appeared to be relatively minor under different inspection regimes, interpreting these findings from data mining alone was not straightforward. A further qualitative analysis found mention of ‘over-reliance’ on textbooks, confirming that ‘over-reliance’ on textbook use might still be seen in a negative way.

A Research Data Catalogue supporting Blue Growth: the BlueBRIDGE caseBlue BRIDGE
Presentation by Massimiliano Assante, CNR-ISTI, Pisa, Italy
How the FAIR principles should manifest in reality is largely open to interpretation. In this presentation it is described the approach exploited in the context of the BlueBRIDGE EU project. This approach culminates in an open, flexible and rich catalogue where an ample set of research resources are expected to be seamlessly discovered and accessed by overcoming interoperability and reusability issues. Behind the catalogue there is a rich and powerful infrastructure (D4Science.org) that enacts the catalogue FAIRness by deploying and operating a set of service and facilities enabling to actually have access the catalogue items payload (beyond metadata). The presentation describes some of the prototypical patterns implemented to enable the collaborative production and publication of scientific output compliant with the Open Science and FAIR principles.

Transforming scholarly communications support at Imperial College LondonTorsten Reimer
Presentation given by Ruth Harrison and Torsten Reimer at the 2016 RLUK Conference in London. We discuss how collaboration between Library Services and the Research Office has transformed Scholarly Communications Support (Open Access and Research Data Management, but also related areas such as reporting and ORCID) at Imperial College London.
Institutional Repositories have grown in importance over the last 10 years to offer a core University and Library service, however, their role is developing faster now than it has ever done. Funder Open Access requirements, internal reporting, research data. Ref2020 and more are increasing the demands on the traditional repository, putting pressure on staff resources and challenging the underlying software.
This webinar outlines these issues as well as looks at how the needs and use of repositories may change in the future.

Stronger together: community initiatives in journal managementJisc
There has been a recent growth of initiatives to address common problems regarding current and long-term access to e-journal content. Jisc is at the forefront of many of these with the close participation and active input of educational institutions.
This session aims to summarise the current state of key themes with pointers to future directions of areas such as sustainability, the move towards e-only environments, and shared consortia approaches. It will provide an overview and panel discussion on developing the supporting infrastructure to meet the needs of users. The discussion will focus on how institutions, community bodies and service providers can best work together to ensure sustainable, long-term initiatives by seeking to introduce uniformity, standardisation and collaboration to an even greater extent.
The session will introduce two new Jisc-supported projects in this area, the Keepers Registry Extra and SafeNet initiatives, and discuss how these fit alongside existing Jisc services such as Knowledge Base+, UK LOCKSS Alliance, Journal Archives and JUSP (Journal Usage Statistics Portal). The panel will address how this catalogue of services contributes towards a coherent strategy in the management of e-journal content.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
