European policies for e-
Infrastructures
Belarus-Poland NREN cross-border link inauguration event Minsk, 9 November 2010

Adoption of ICT changes the scientific discovery process
Tools: computing and simulation‐ The very small, the very big and the very complex
Process: automation; remote collaboration‐ Cost and time efficiency; cross-discipline collaboration;
virtual research communities
Dissemination: of information and results‐ Open Science
ICT for Science
The ‘map of science’Journal Nature (Dec 2006): This map was constructed by sorting roughly 800,000 published papers into 776 different scientific paradigms (shown as pale circular nodes) based on how often the papers were cited together by authors of other papers. […]

Linking at the speed of the lightLinking at the speed of the light
Sharing computers, software and instrumentsSharing computers, software and instruments
Sharing and federating scientific dataSharing and federating scientific data
e-Infrastructures Visionempower research communities through ubiquitous, trusted
and easy access to services for data, computation, communication and collaborative work

Linking at the speed of the light: GÉANT
Accessing knowledge: scientific data
Innovating the scientific process: global virtual research communities
Experimenting in silico: simulation and visualisation
Sharing the best computational resources: e-Science clouds, grids, supercomputing
e-Infrastructures: areas of action

Three vectors of a renewed European strategy:
ICT infrastructures for e-ScienceCOM(2009) 108
e-Infrastructure
Europe as hub of
excellence ine-Science
Sustainable and continuous services of
production quality 24/7
Innovation by exploiting know-
how beyond science (public services, large
scale experimentation,
…)

Member States should (art. 15): Coordinate investments in research
infrastructures in order to develop research and innovation clusters
• FI, HPC, green ICT, nano, cognitive, photonics, embedded,…
Foster trans-national coordination of e-Infrastructures
• Optimise resources• Seamless and safe access for end users
The Commission should (art. 16):
Propose financial incentives for jointly developing and sharing research infrastructures in ICT
• E.g. in exa-scale computing
Competitiveness Council Conclusions of 3 December 2009 (1/2)
••• 9••• 9
Member States and the Commission should (art. 17):
Extend e-Infrastructures to industrial research and innovation, to public services and SMEs
Explore governance models for efficient, seamless and technologically leading public services
Examine incentives for pre-commercial procurement, including for the deployment of e-Infrastructures
Better coordinate efforts and develop/share strategies in key areas such as […] the GEANT network; avoid fragmentation
Pool investments in HPC under PRACE• …use, development and manufacturing
Major research infrastructures to enjoy e-I support Broaden access to scientific data and open
repositories and ensure coherent approach to data access and curation
Competitiveness Council Conclusions of 3 December 2009 (2/2)

Digital Agenda for Europethe policy context
DAE is one of the flagships of "Europe 2020: a strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth"

GÉANT infrastructure- supporting Research and Education ++- self-organised & self-governed community- support and reliability- FP7 funding & cost model- impact of cross-border- security- value is not reduce to cost- networking activities- joint research activities
