New core business

• Modern universities are developing towards loose conglomerates of (inter)discipline expertise

• Collaboration is therefore a core business• Scientific collaboration involves groups of people

in multiple institutions, disciplines and countries• Collaboration is about using shared services and

resources

Virtual Collaboration = People + Groups + Resources + Services + Policies + Funding + ...

4


Distributed landscape

• Modern science combines resources from multiple sources across multiple (administrative) domains

‣ The core resources are within one virtual collaboration domain, but within multiple institutions, and

‣ the generic collaboration services can be found in 'the cloud'
