The evolution of e-infrastructure

e-infrastructures Node: Domain Specific hub National hub Hub Astrophysics and astroparticle physics Biomedical and bioinformatics Computational chemistry Computational sciences High Energy Physics Disaster recovery Digital Libraries Earth sciences Infrastructure >340 sites Geophysics >70 000 CPUs, 25 PByte of storage Finance ~150 000 jobs successfully completed per day Fusion 270 Virtual Organisations >8000 registered users, representing 1000s of scientists HPC

What we do for Science European Commission and Member States invest in e-infrastructures Innovating the scientific process: global virtual research communities Accessing and managing knowledge: scientific data and publications Experimenting in silico: simulation and visualisation Sharing the best computational resources: e-science grid, clouds, supercomputing Linking at the speed of the light: GÉANT

Research infrastructures Definition: Facilities, resources, organisational systems and services that are used by the research communities to conduct research and innovation in their fields This includes: major scientific equipment or sets of instruments; knowledge-based resources such as collections, archives or scientific data; e-infrastructure, such as data, computing and software systems, communication networks and systems to promote openness and digital trust

Research Infrastructures under Horizon 2020 (2014-2020) 3 action lines Development of European RIs Developing pan-european RIs (and regional potential) Integrating and opening national RIs of pan-eu interest Development, deployment & operation of e-infrastructures Reinforcing the RI innovation potential & their human capital Promoting the innovation potential of RI Strengthening human capital Supporting consistency / efficiency of MSs & EU RI policies Strengthening the EU RI policy Strategic international cooperation

e-infrastructure: From FP7 to Horizon 2020 Building the digital ERA for all researchers Data-centric science and engineering Computational infrastructure (HPC, grids, clouds, software) Research and education networks Virtual research communities and e-science Consultations started in 2011 and continue till end 2012

Policy evolution From the Communication on scientific information in the digital age of 2007 through the ICT infrastructures for e-science Communication of 2009 to today

Neelie Kroes: let s make science open ICT transforming science: collaboration and sharing knowledge at unprecedented scale and speed How to do it?

Open Science through (open) infrastructures We mean by Open Science the optimal sharing of knowledge and supporting tools such as publications, research data, software, educational resources and infrastructures across institutional, disciplinary and national boundaries

Open Science Open Scientific Content data, computational resources and software resulting from public funded research should be made openly available and preserved, for re-use in research and education activities Open Culture career systems should support and reward those who participate in the culture of sharing. Open science should inspire the young and enable adequate education to benefit from the abundance of technical tools and scientific information Open Infrastructures reliable, high-performance and efficient infrastructures

ERA - European Research Area Five main priorities More effective national research systems Optimal transnational co-operation and competition An open labour market for researchers Gender equality and mainstreaming in research Optimal circulation and transfer of scientific knowledge including via digital ERA Circulation and transfer of scientific knowledge EC Recommendation to Member States on OA Research stakeholder organisations to implement open access for publications and data Commission will adopt a Communication Commission will propose a roadmap for e-infrastructure development to support e-science through open access to research tools and resources

Open access policy Publications, data, e-infrastructure all outputs of Horizon 2020 to be openly accessible Communication to European Parliament and Council Recommendation to Member States

1 st wave A fundamental characteristic of our age is the rising tide of data global, diverse, valuable and complex. In the realm of science, this is both an opportunity and a challenge. Riding the Wave report, High-Level Group on Data October 2010

2 nd wave The report presents an overview of the present situation with regard to research data in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and offers broad outlines for a possible action programme for the four countries in realising the envisaged collaborative data infrastructure.

Conclusion A strong commitment to open science will benefit science inside and outside of Europe Open Science implies technical, institutional, organisational and even cultural changes, many of them mediated by ICT infrastructure Horizon 2020 is our tool to work together on these issues How do we use it from 2014 to 2020 to deploy the e-infrastructure needed?
