  13. Is there a synergy? - facilitate development and operation of high quality e-infrastructure solutions in areas of joint Nordic interest - support the digital European Research Area through a pan-European research infrastructure…

  14. Will egi.nordic support the Nordic researchcommunity by • Supporting collaboration on e-Infrastructure in the Nordic region? • Providing added value to (Nordic) researchers and national funders? • Contributing to more cost-efficient development and deployment of e-Infrastructure services (in the Nordics)? • Supporting the national e-Infrastructure providers in terms of competence building, task sharing and joint operation of services?
