2 Europe 2020 Strategy Objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth headline targets, including 3% of GDP invested in R&D Includes the Digital Agenda for Europe flagship ICT research and innovation as a central pillar Includes the Innovation Union flagship key conditions to make Europe attractive for research & innovation Includes the Industrial Policy flagship ICT as a Key Enabling Technology 2

3 R&I are priorities of DAE The Digital Agenda for Europe outlines policies and actions to maximise the benefit of the digital revolution for all. Supporting research and innovation is a key priority of the Agenda, essential if we want to establish a flourishing digital economy. Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the EC, responsible for the Digital Agenda

5 e-infrastructures supporting Science e-infrastructure is an environment where research resources (hardware, software and content) can be readily shared and accessed wherever this is necessary to promote better and more effective research. Such environment integrates networks, grids and middleware, computational resources, experimental workbenches, data repositories, tools and instruments and the operational support that enable global virtual research collaborations.

6 What can we do for Science To facilitate a rapid transition to e-science, the European Commission and Member States have made significant investments in e-infrastructures Innovating the scientific process: global virtual research communities Accessing knowledge: scientific data Sharing the best resources: e-science distributed computing Designing future facilities: PRACE - High-Performace Computing Linking the ideas at the speed of the light: GÉANT

7 2009 Commission Communication: ICT Infrastructures for e-science Importance of embracing the e-science paradigm shift Strategic role of e-infrastructures as a crucial asset underpinning European research and innovation Need reinforced and coordinated effort by Member States and the scientific community ICT Infrastructures for e-science

10 The importance of scientific data A fundamental characteristic of our age is the raising tide of data global, diverse, valuable and complex. In the realm of science, this is both an opportunity and a challenge. Report of the High-Level Group on Scientific Data, October 2010 Riding the Wave: how Europe can gain from the raising tide of scientific data Adapted from a slide of Dr. Mirco Albani (ESA)

11 Scientific Data e-infrastructures A wider interpretation of e-infrastructures include technologies of various kinds for creating, collecting, annotating, manipulating, storing, finding and re-using information and services such as those to provide user support, training, and preservation.

13 Not only data... but the future of scientific information We don't know how scholar communication will adapt to new paradigms bringing closer human and machine readable information... Opportunities for innovation in the publishing market new concepts: enriched publications Find, Trust, Access, Preserve for re-use Open Access Pilot in FP7, what about FP8?... OpenAIRE e-infrastructure Data Management Plans DoIs, DAIs Scientific data has the power to transform our lives for the better it is too valuable to be locked away. Neelie Kroes, VP of the European Commission
