In response to a Horizon2020 call to Integrate and open European research infrastructures of starting communities a successful proposal from the European volcanological community, including key research infrastructures and stakeholders resulted in funding of the EUROVOLC project, the first integrating activity in volcanology. In addition to enabling open access for European researchers to key volcanological research infrastructures and data, as well as carrying out joint research activities to enhance the services offered by the infrastructures, the underlying aim of EUROVOLC is to overcome the fragmentation of the volcanological community and the widely distributed infrastructures by developing dynamic connections and collaborations within the community and between the community and its stakeholders. The EUROVOLC consortium includes all the main European volcano observatories and many of the strongest volcano research institutions, Civil Protection agencies, geothermal industry and IT companies. This ensemble has since early 2018 carried out a variety of Networking, Joint Research and Virtual Access activities. The group has also issued two open research calls offering Trans-national Access to the research infrastructures and successfully organized a summer school for young scientists. The session will highlight the networking, data, products, services, accesses and research achieved in EUROVOLCs many activities. The session also welcomes contributions from the research projects funded through EUROVOLCs Trans-national grants, to more fully demonstrate the research opportunities made available by EUROVOLC.
