The ENVRI-Hub Next will deliver an open access Hub and NEXT-level interdisciplinary research framework providing services for advancing science and society.

Dr. Zhiming Zhao and his team of the Multiscale Networked System research group, will lead the development of the knowledgebase and contribute to the development of a cloud Virtual Research Environment.

Coordinated by EGI, the project aims to develop a robust conceptual and technical framework to provide interdisciplinary science-based services to support climate change research and to facilitate the integration of the environmental sciences community into the European Open Science Cloud, guided by the science-based framework of Essential Climate Variables.
