  1. e-Infrastructures for e-Science the EU Policy Presentation at the NEERI 09 workshop, 2nd October 2009 Kostas Glinos Head of Unit INFSO F3 European Commission "The views expressed in this presentation are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission"

  2. Science and ICT • 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, the very big and the very complex • Cost efficiency • Open, cross-border and cross-discipline collaboration

  3. The ‘map of science’ Journal Nature (Dec 2006): This map was constructed by sorting roughly 800,000 published papers into 776 different scientific paradigms (shown as pale circular nodes) based on how often the papers were cited together by authors of other papers. […]

  4. ICT infrastructures for e-Science: a Communication to European Institutions COM(2009) 108 • 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

  6. e-Infrastructure ICT infrastructures for e-ScienceCOM(2009) 108 Three vectors of a renewed European strategy: Europe as hub of excellence ine-Science Sustainable and continuous services of production quality 24/7 Innovation by exploiting know-how beyond science (public services, large scale experimentation,…)

  7. Orchestration within the e-Infrastructure: need for coordination all the elements and layers Information • 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...

  8. Conclusions by Competitiveness Council of29 May 2009 • 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

  9. Linking at the speed of the light: GÉANT Sharing the best computational resources: e-Science grid, supercomputing Accessing knowledge: scientific data Innovating the scientific process: global virtual research communities Experimenting in silico: simulation and visualisation e-Infrastructures in action today

Fostering Global Virtual Research Communities Scientific Communities • Geographically spread • Culture heterogeneity • Problem Complexity • Volumes of information • Quality of information • Incentives to share • Organisational barriers e-Infrastructures • Connectivity • Collaboration • Processing, Simulation • Repositories of data • Curation/Review • Trust • Knowledge advantage

  17. e-Infrastructure’s support toESFRI roadmap projects • Objective • Scientific communities on the ESFRI roadmap become leading users of e-Infrastructures and a major driver of e-Infrastructures’ development • Past and future steps • e-IRG and ESFRI relationship • Meeting at EGEE’09 Conference (September 09) • Meeting at e-Infrastructures Concertation (October 2009) • Call for proposals FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2010-2 (November ’09)

  18. e-Infrastructures – future directions • “Data’s shameful neglect” (Nature, 10 September 2009) • Strengthen service and user orientation • e-Infrastructures beyond scientific research • Reflect on governance, ensure sustainability • GEANT, EGI, PRACE, Data… • Strengthen global dimension

  19. 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.
