FP6-2005-Infrastructures
Flexible control and sharing of distributed resources
Resources can be of any information type (storage,
computing, networking, instrumentation, etc)
Resources can be distributed world-wide
Access to them needs to be provided in a secure, coordinated, seamless, dynamic and inexpensive way
Resources can be physical, virtual, single or multiple sited

The ˝World Wide Grid˝ and the
need to progressively support
networking, grids and resources
The HPCN ESFRI report
…For many scientific
applications, there is not doubt
that the GRID infrastructure will
help improving the lack of
resources, by making a better
use of distributed systems.
However, GRID is unlikely to
solve all scientific problems, and
there are classes of scientific
domains, which will always
require very large centralised
computing resources.

Bridging the Digital Divide: Information Society
Policy(i2010) in Structural Funds
“Community Strategic Guidelines on Cohesion 2007-2013”
IS Policy and Structural Funds
FP6-2005-Infrastructures
Structural funds and ICT Research (1)
• ICT – a key enabler for productivity growth & competitiveness– Half of productivity gains in our economies are due to ICT
• ICT impacts business efficiency across the economy • ICT underpins innovations in all major products and services
• ICT – providing tools for addressing key societal challenges – ageing population, inclusion, healthcare– Education, learning and preserving Cultural diversity – Safety, environment and risk management
• ICT – a facilitator for more efficient public services– Helps modernise administrations and public services– allows more participation in democracy and public life
• ICT – an important sector in its own right– From 4% of EU GDP in early 90s to close to 8% today
• ICT – underpins progress in all science & technology fields– Computation and simulation, data handling, sensing, control,
collaboration, etc.– e.g. GÉANT, the world-leading research network, eScience Grids
FP6-2005-Infrastructures
Structural funds and ICT Research (2)
• European Aim: Double total investment in RTD• Building the knowledge infrastructure (R&D capacity building)
– Providing Research Infrastructure• Research Networking• Equipment, Facilities
– Attracting Human Capital and developing Skills– Supporting Innovation Ecosystems
• Attracting Industrial Investments– Poles of Excellence in key ICT fields
• Focus and prioritisation
– Leveraging industrial investments• E.g. clean-rooms for nano-electronics
FP6-2005-Infrastructures
Synergy and Complementary Measures
• Framework Programme– SF support is a key underpinning factor for
participation in the EU Framework Programmes for RTD
– Strong links with FP7 activities on Research Infrastructure and Research Potential
• Competitiveness and Innovation Programme– Support for ICT uptake in businesses and
administrations– Best Practice and Networking Actions
FP6-2005-Infrastructures
RI and structural funds
• DG REGIO and DG INFSO (together with other DGs) participate actively in the Task Force for Research Infrastructures in FP7 created by DG RTD– The generic cooperation framework is identified.
• e-Infrastructures in FP7 – Research Network Backbone GÉANT – articulation with National
Research Networks– Grid Infrastructures – building upon national strategies and
“gridifying” Nationa/ resources– Supercomputers/data storage – “networking” national resources to
build high end distributed supercomputers in Europe• There are multiple examples in which e-Infrastructures in the
Member States are supported by structural funds– E.g. Galician supercomputers funded by InterregIII
• In FP7 Capacities, the definition of Research Infrastructures (and e-Infrastructures) is very much in line with the strategic support that the Cohesion policy may provide
FP6-2005-Infrastructures
Conclusion
• Associated and future new Member States should create strategic co-ordination on national level.
• NRENs and ICT policy makers should get actively involved in the Strategic Reference Framework and Operational Plan to consolidate inclusion in the plans.
• Financing of high speed RTD infrastructure is now included in the Community Strategic Guidelines on Cohesion 2007-2013
