Publish your ESA project’s data at LPS 2025 – book a 1-to-1 with the EarthCODE team!
What’s happening at the Living Planet Symposium?
As part of ESA’s new 2024 Open Science strategy, the EarthCODE team will run daily “Open Science in the Making” sessions right in the LPS foyer.
If your activity is ESA-sponsored and you have publication-ready data or code, you can reserve a 1-hour, hands-on slot with the team. We’ll walk you through:
- Making Your Data FAIR (Findable • Accessible • Interoperable • Reusable)
- Uploading your data to the EarthCODE Open Science Catalog
- Best practices for STAC metadata, reproducible workflows & discoverability
Why take part in the 1-to-1 sessions?
- Instant visibility – your dataset will be featured on the EarthCODE portal
- Shout-outs – ESA Open Science newsletter, EarthCODE LinkedIn and this forum
- Showcase – spotlight on the ESA booth as a champion of Open Science
- Expert guidance – 1-to-1 support from the platform engineers and curators
Book your slot 
Slots are limited and fill up fast – grab yours here:
(If all slots are taken, feel free to drop us an email at earth-code@esa.int or come by the Open Science in the Making area anyway – we’ll be happy to chat.)
Come prepared 
To make the hour count, please have the following ready (or as much as possible):
| What we’ll ask for | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| A short, meaningful title & description of your dataset/workflow | Helps users understand your contribution at a glance |
| Project/activity name (ESA/EC-funded) | Links your output to its funding line |
| Scientific domain & key variables | e.g. Land, Ocean, Cryosphere – choose from the variable list in the catalog |
| Keywords & STAC structure | Boosts discoverability |
| Documentation links | Papers, user handbooks, GitHub README, etc. |
| Access to the final data (or sample) | We’ll test the download and ingestion |
| Workflow/code that reproduces the data | Ideally in a public GitHub repo, with an environment file |
Tip: The person attending should know the data & code well enough to answer technical questions on the spot.
Ask us anything – start the Q&A below! 
Have a question about eligibility, data formats, licences, or how the session works?
Just reply to this thread – the EarthCODE team is monitoring it daily in the run-up to LPS and will keep an evolving FAQ here for everyone’s benefit.
