Key element of the Lund declaration adopted on 8 July 09 • Essential for researchers to stay at the forefront of
research• Key component for “frontier” research
Key Challenges:
- Overcoming fragmentation - Coping with increasing costs / complexity - Improving efficiency of (and access to) research
services
Research Infrastructures = Large scale facilities + e-Infrastructures
••• 3
• Scientific advances more important than ever
‐ Global challenges with high societal impact
‐ Innovation and economic development
• Adoption of ICT changes the scientific discovery process
‐ Computing, simulation and data
‐ Tackling the very small, very big and very complex
‐ Cost efficiency
‐ Open, cross-border & cross-discipline collaboration

Remote instrumentation infrastructures – NEXPReS
project
• further improve the astronomy technique of electronic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (e-VLBI) with the objective of incorporating it into every experiment conducted by the European VLBI Network (EVN)
• From the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) to the Electronic VLBI (e-VLBI)
• “Best of both worlds” data archiving and reprocessing afforded by traditional VLBI speed and flexibility of e-VLBI
Novel EXplorations Pushing Robust e-VLBI Services

Remote instrumentation infrastructures – NEXPReS
project
Better data quality: more telescopes delivering good, error-free data
More efficient use of telescope infrastructure more time available for observations
e-VLBI in Europe is formally recognised as a pathfinder technology for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), an ESFRI project
••• 15
Remote instrumentation infrastructures – EVALSO
project
• The project aims at creating a physical infrastructure (and the tools to exploit it) to efficiently connect the ESO Very Large Telescope VLT at Cerro Paranal and the RUB OCA Observatories at Cerro Armazones to Europe
• Build on GEANT and RedCLARA
Enabling Virtual Access to Latin-American Southern Observatories

Remote instrumentation infrastructures – AugerAccess
project
• The project aims at improving the access capabilities of European research groups working on the Pierre Auger Observatory. Located in a remote place in the Pampa Amarilla in Argentina
• Build on GEANT and RedCLARA
• upgrading of the connectivity to allow rapid access to the data collected at the Observatory thus enhancing the potential of the European
groups in data processing and analysis
Integrating Auger Observatory and European Research Institutions into a worldwide grid
