vision 2030 high-level experts group on Scientific Data “Our vision is a scientific e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use, and trust of data. In a sense, the physical and technical infrastructure becomes invisible and the data themselves become the infrastructure – a valuable asset, on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance.” high-level experts group on Scientific Data

Future perspectives fore-Infrastructures • e-Infrastructures in transition • Towards infrastructure-as-a-service • From connectivity and grids to an integrated offer involving networks, data, all computing and software • Progressive and disparate involvement of users • Governance and financial models in evolution • What role for innovation? • More emphasis on Scientific Data Infrastructures • International dimension continues to be important • Enabling open Science, research and innovation
e-Infrastructures enable open Science • Collaborate globally • Share tools, resources • Open processes, organisations • Leverage (in and out) • Spin off innovation All depends on the interaction between the infrastructure and its users!
International cooperation (EU-US)
Cyber/e-Infrastructures: achievements, good practices Transatlantic WS on research networks (Vilnius, June 2010) EGEE-III – OSG (24/7 grid-service) GEANT – NASA, Abilene, ESnet (40Gbit/s) DEISA2 – TeraGrid (global file system) Pooling of resources NSF-EC for connection to Pakistan
US participants in e-Infrastructure projects Total EU funding to US-organisations: € 82,000
In conformity with principles of cooperation (S&T Agreement) Funded initiatives must include minimum number of legal entities from EU & Associated States (funding-instrument specific) US organisations established in EU or Associated states can receive financial contributions Financial support to US-based organisations possible in case that at least one of following conditions is satisfied: Provision is made to that effect in specific programmes or relevant work-programmes Contribution essential for carrying out the action Such funding is provided for in a bilateral scientific and technological agreement or any other agreement between the European Community and the US Rules for participation for US-organisations
Jointly proposed topics for discussion today • Common policies/agreements on open access to scientific data • Common approaches to Authentication and Authorization • Cloud and Grid coordination, development & interoperability efforts • Joint distributed computing support for LHC, LIGO, including extending/expanding OSG • Coordinated call for Innovations in International Distributed computing for science and engineering • Coordinated call on software sustainability efforts • Support to exchanges of personnel between e-Infrastructure operators and joint dissemination projects (e.g. on RI initiatives across the Atlantic)

Cyber/e-Infrastructures underpinning a creativity machine… “We humans have built a creativity machine. It’s the sum of three things: a few hundred million of computers, a communication system connecting those computers, and some millions of human beings using those computers and communications.” Vernor Vinge (Nature, Vol 440, March 2006)
