  14. Pan-european second generation GÉANT eInfrastructure – GÉANT infrastructure • GN2, led by DANTE: • continue and improve current GÉANT services • access to “dark” fiber and increased geographical footprint • user consultancy for demanding research communities • research on security, end-to-end services and seamless access/AAA aspects • test-bed to experiment new technologies and services • Inclusion of prospective study and benchmarking

  15. Pan-European Grid infrastructure EGEE + SEE-GRID eInfrastructure – Grids infrastructures • EGEE, led by CERN: • mission critical for very demanding research communities (e.g. High Energy Physics, biomedics) / operational support to users • structuring effect / largest international Grid infrastructure • capacity of over 20.000 CPU's, federating 70 centers/20 countries • research in security, AAA and middleware aspects • SEE-GRID, led by GRNet, expands EGEE to South Eastern Europe

  16. Grid of supercomputers DEISA eInfrastructure – Grids infrastructures • DEISA, led by CNRS: • distributed tera-scale supercomputing facility • Serving user communities such as material sciences, plasma physics, cosmology, life science, etc… • six major supercomputing centers / 30 teraflops • gigabit interconnection • focus on Global Filing System

  17.

  18. Financial perspectives (February 2004) Communication on FP7 (May 2004) Collaboration and Networking Technological Platforms Basic Research Infrastructures Human resources Co-ordination of National Research Space (ESA) Security The Policy Agenda in Research 6+2 Axes:

  19. Conclusions • The EU is spearheading a European eInfrastructure for research (broadband++), fully connected to the world • GÉANT and Grids are essential components of this initiative • Research & deployment are two complementary strategic aspects • EU Research on Grids strengthened (standards, middle-ware,…) • The user basis of eInfrastructure is broadened through common policies (e.g. the eIRG eInfrastructure Reflection Group) • Agenda includes moving from eScience to Industry and business • eInfrastructure is a building block for an European Research Area • eInfrastructures promote growth ensuring cohesion and they are conceived as a vehicle to foster international co-operation, essential to address the challenges of modern eScience • eInfrastructures in the main stream of new Research policy agenda (EU FP7)
