ISDC and GFZ
• ISDC is even smaller group now, only 2 persons with support from System and DB administrator
• New head of the Geodesy and Remote Sensing department (coming from university)
• New director of the GFZ (coming from a technical university)– Interested in more transparency– Common data policy within the GFZ– New mechanism for funding of IT infrastructure– Improvement of long-term archive facilities– … but new requirements are coming from everybody

Challenges
• Sustainable funding of human, technology and technical resources for operational data and information services
• Developing/Using of standards for sustainable data and information management at the GFZ
• Realizing of a high available (long-term) archive system for data, information and knowledge
• Education campaign for scientists related to ESSI1
• ESSI1 must become important research domain within German geoscience environment
