Wiley, one of the world’s largest publishers and a global leader in research and learning, from the London Book Fair, on Wednesday announced it will provide access to a curated collection of Earth science research materials to help enhance the training and capabilities of the European Space Agency’s Earth Virtual Expert (EVE).
The company also signed an agreement with Pi School, which is leading the development of the EVE project for ESA’s Φ-lab, the report stated.
Jay Flynn, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Research & Learning for Wiley, remarked, “This landmark agreement in support of the European Space Agency’s EVE project represents a significant step forward in making authoritative scientific knowledge more accessible, actionable and attributable,” “Wiley’s innovative collaboration with Pi School will help unlock new possibilities in Earth Observation research for scientists and researchers worldwide.”
Nicolas Longépé, Earth Observation Data Scientist at ESA Φ-lab, commented, “The development of EVE represents a key step toward Φ-lab’s vision of broadening engagement with Earth Observation data. This virtual expert aims to transform how users explore and understand Earth Observation insights in order to expand their understanding of our atmosphere, climate, and oceans.”
The EVE project
Based on the report, the EVE project was developed by Pi School with support from Imperative Space, and it is creating an innovative virtual expert capable of answering queries about Earth observation and Earth science in natural language.
Wiley said that in support of this endeavor, it will license a collection of published research, such as scientific journals, including those from the American Geophysical Union (AGU) publishing program, books from Wiley’s Earth science portfolio, and Q&A courseware materials.
