  1. The e-VLBI Effelsberg Inauguration: European Commission perspective Effelsberg, 19 November 2008 Jean-Luc Dorel European Commission - DG INFSO Jean-luc.dorel@ec.europa.eu "The views expressed in this presentation are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission"

  2. e-Science computational science Global Virtual Research Communities theoretical experimental empirical a new vision for Science a new vision for Science • Global & complex challenges with high societal impact • Data deluge… born digital material… virtual-labs • Cross-disciplinarity • Spread of skills and competences

  3. GÉANT: connecting Europe GÉANT: connecting Europe • Pan-European coverage (40+ countries /4000 institutions / 30+ million students) • Hybrid architecture: • connectivity at 10 Gb/s (aggregated traffic) • dark fiber wavelengths(demanding communities) • NREN aggregator • Global reach • GEANT3

  4. Linking the ideas at the speed of the light: GÉANT Sharing the best resources: e-Science grid Accessing knowledge: scientific data Innovating the scientific process: global virtual research communities Designing future facilities: novel e-Infrastructures a staged approach a staged approach

  6. policy debate policy debate • ESFRI: European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures • e-IRG: e-Infrastructures Reflection Group • ENPG: European Network Policy Group • Council of European Union: research infrastructures, scientific data, regional dimension • ERA (European Research Area) green book • Communications to the Council and Parliament: scientific data, ICT infrastructures for Science

  7. conclusions conclusions • e-Infrastructures implement a key EU policy and strategy. • Each project has a dual role: to reach its own objectives, to ensure the advancement of e-Infrastructures. The nature of infrastructure highlights this second objective. The value of a project is directly proportional to its ability to establish synergies within the domain. • EXPReS and e-VLBI is part of this strategy by both advancing the radio-astronomy towards new ways of doing science as well as a promoting the usage of e-infrastructure • www.cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/e-infrastructure/
