Panel: ARCHIVER: Sustainable Preservation of Scientific Data
The ARCHIVER project (Archiving and Preservation for Research Environments) has spent over 3 years designing, prototyping and piloting innovative new services for the Long Term Digital Preservation (LTDP) of scientific datasets.  During the project, multiple Data intensive organizations representing several research domains (CERN, DESY, PIC and EMBL-EBI) have worked closely and collaboratively with suppliers (Arkivum and LIBNOVA) on the research and development of new services and solutions for scientific data preservation relevant for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). This panel session will see the ARCHIVER project participants discuss and share the experience and lessons learned during the project.  Topics will include: the benefits of a collaborative approach between end-users and commercial suppliers; the challenges that were addressed along the way and the solutions that were created;  and what still needs to be done in order to realize the project vision of sustainable digital preservation services for the whole scientific community that address the needs of organizations both large and small.  iPRES 2022 comes just two months after the end of the final Pilot phase of the ARCHIVER project which makes it an ideal time for the ARCHIVER participants to share their insights and experiences with the wider LTDP community.
