QUEST - EPOS

Enabling data access across disciplines (seismology, crustal deformation, geology, geochemistry, oceanography, volcanology, etc.)

Development of sustainable computer applications Enabling access and use of high-performance

computing infrastructure (supercomputers, the GRID) -> VERCE

Training the generation of scientists that will use the EPOS infrastructure
