===AuScope Limited- ESIP-II ===
 
AuScope is the primary provider of national-scale research infrastructure to the earth and geospatial science communities in Australia. AuScope revives federal funding through the NCRIS scheme and works with partners at 11 Universities, state governments, CSIRO and Geoscience Australia in order to deliver this infrastructure in support of Australian and international research activity in our sector. We strive to increase collaboration nationally and internationally in order to help researchers answer the big science questions over the next decade.

===Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration - Earth and Environment Hub - ESIP-II===
:Full Application: [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iwgjz4K71oxHzDjZ3xYCVPzlXSOcQnOr]
+
This is the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration's (HMC) task: to promote the qualitative enrichment of research data by
 +
means of metadata – and implement this approach across the whole organization. The platform pools the scientific
 +
expertise on metadata from several domains in special metadata hubs (including an Earth and Environment Hub) for
 +
the research fields. Association-wide services offer advice and provide infrastructure services for storing, reusing, and
 +
exchanging metadata. The work is always embedded in the national and international context.
 +
HMC aims to keep the research data "alive". The platform is intended to make it possible to access specific data even
 +
after many years, and to make the data available and usable to interested parties in various disciplines. By combining
 +
research data and metadata from different sources, researchers can work on new interdisciplinary research topics or
 +
validate models, for example. Research in the field of artificial intelligence is also reliant on excellent reference data
 +
sets.
  
=== Geological Survey of Canada - ESIP-II ===

The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) is part of the Earth Sciences Sector of Natural Resources Canada. The GSC is Canada’s oldest scientific agency and one of its first government organizations. It was founded in 1842 to help develop a viable Canadian mineral industry by establishing the general geological base on which the industry could plan detailed investigations. Throughout its long and colourful history, the GSC has played a leading role in exploring the nation.
