This document presents the state of work in the WP4 of the CS3MESH4EOSC project on integrating user-level applications and usage scenarios within the ScienceMesh federation. The CS3MESH4EOSC consortium is building a federated mesh of sync & share systems (EFSS) and applications focused on scientific and research use-cases, referred to as ScienceMesh. The Interoperability Platform (IOP) worked out in WP3 provides the technical basis for the federation, ensuring compatibility across sync & share products, enabling data flow and user information exchange as well as implementing communication for application workflows. The partner-provided deployments of sync & share systems at federated sites provide the testing and pre-production environments for the federation. Finally, management procedures and tools developed by WP2 constitute the operational basis for the federation. Within WP4, a set of user-level applications is being developed with the aim of being embedded into this federated mesh of sync & share systems. This work is organized in four application-related design, development and testing tasks (T4.1-T4.4) as well as two auxiliary tasks (T4.5-T4.6). This deliverable provides the summary of the work within WP4 related to the integration of the flagship applications identified for the ScienceMesh. It provides an overview of the state of the demonstrators prepared within the first 18 months of the Project. It also summarizes the status of work in the auxiliary tasks dedicated to ensuring that requirements and other information flow among WP4 and WP3, WP4 and WP2, while analysing the future sustainability of those Project results.

Rahul Chauhan and Giuseppe Lo Presti (CERN) made a presentation entitled "Rucio and ScienceMesh: Enabling data management for the CS3 community", about how FTS and Rucio technologies, part of the Science Mesh On Demand Data Transfer service are supporting the LOFAR use-case, as well as the GSoC (Google Summer of Code) project

Welcome presentation of the ScienceMesh Workshop, given by the Project Coordinator.

Holger Angenent, from the University of Muenster (Germany), represented CS3MESH4EOSC at the Break-Out session "Experiments in Preparing Data for Interchange and Openness", organised by the RDA Interest Group Research Data Architectures in Research Institutions. Holger did a presentation about "Democratising FAIRification: Handling Collections Level Tools to Coalface Researchers".

Holger Angenent, from University of Muenster (Germany) and partner of CS3MESH4EOSC, presented at the ONLYOFFICE 2020 conference the project and its data services, namely the Science Mesh, to the German audience. This was a great opportunity for the project to showcase to an audience who today relies as never before on collaboration tools for remote study and work.

CS3MESH4EOSC joined the event and prepared a site report, where the project was included as one of the projects from CERN which is Federating of on-premise Sync&Share services and allowing borderless sharing. With this, CS3MESH4EOSC was showcased to an international audience of 300 individuals.

David de Marchi, Scientific/Technical Project Officer at Joint Research Centre, presented Voilà at the JupyterCon 2020 conference and informed the audience that Voilà aims to be used inside the CS3MESH4EOSC project.
