European Commission GEANT and eInfrastructure
Scientific advances more important than ever‐ Global challenges with high societal impact
‐ Innovation, research and economic development
‐ The Fifth Freedom (Free movement of Knowledge)
Adoption of ICT changes the scientific discovery process
‐ Computing, simulation and data: ‘virtualisation of experiments’
‐ Tackling the very small, the very big and the very complex
‐ Cost efficiency
‐ Open, cross-border and cross-discipline collaboration
Science and ICT
Highlighting the importance of embracing the e-Science paradigm shift
Highlighting the strategic role of e-Infrastructures as a crucial asset underpinning European research and innovation policies
Calling on Member States and the scientific communities, in cooperation with the European Commission, for a reinforced and coordinated effort to further develop world class e-Infrastructures

Europe as hub of
excellence ine-Science
Sustainable and continuous services of
production quality 24/7
Innovation by exploiting know-
how beyond Science (Health, Learning, large

Highlight strategic importance of e-Infrastructures; key to overcome fragmentation and digital divide
Member States to consider e-Infrastructures in their national roadmaps
Commission to ensure:
sustainability
global connectivity and interoperability
unimpeded use
Conclusions by Competitiveness Council of 29 May 2009
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 grid, supercomputing

• General objectives:– Enable an increasing number of users from all disciplines to access, share and use
e-Infrastructures (facilities, instruments, software data
– Remove constraints of distance, access and usability, as well as barriers between disciplines for a more effective scientific collaboration and innovation
• More specifically:– Deployment of e-Infrastructures in research communities to enable multi-
disciplinary collaboration
– Deployment of end-to-end e-infrastructure services and tools for integrating and increasing research capacities
– Build user-configured virtual research facilities and test-beds from collection of diverse resources
– Address human, social and economic factors to facilitate the creation, take up/maintenance of e-Infrastructure services
– Integrate and link regional e-Infrastructures
Expected impact: Increased effectiveness of European research through the broader use of e-
Infrastructures by research communities; the emergence of virtual research communities of European and international dimension that cannot be achieved by national initiatives alone;

Orchestration within the e-Infrastructure:
need for coordination all the elements and layers
In the Communication to the Council and EP, the Commission asks the involvement of Member States and key stakeholders to build robust, dynamic and innovative e-Infrastructures for scientific data
This cooperation started already by launching 15 projects, including the FP7 Open Access Pilot (40 Mio Euro)
There is still a long way to go...

- The changing role of Repositories in future visions of scholarlycommunications:
- Repository activity needs to be joined up more closely withVirtual Research Community developments in eScience, datasharing, preservation anddistributed Computinginfrastructure
- From a Repositories perspective via the enhanced publicationsconcept towards a thematic based scientific dataeInfrastructure.
Scientific Data - Looking ahead
“Big, complex data-intensive science" of global dimension is here to stay; hence the increasing value of observational and experimental data in virtually all fields of science
Europe pays particular attention to the aspects of accessibility to scientific information, its quality assurance and preservation
Developing an ecosystem of European Digital Repositories, federating and adding value to national or discipline-based repositories will be necessary
Multi-disciplinary approaches, new participative paradigms and global research communities are an essential part and driver of the strategy
…but organisational, governance and financing models need reconsideration, informed by sociological, political and cultural considerations
Upcoming Calls of e-Infrastructures programme to provide support to the e-Science transition
We need to exploit the growing sensor/effector layer to make the world itself a real-time database.
