  2. research e-Infrastructures education innovation The knowledge triangle at work The knowledge triangle at work To be a genuinely competitive in the knowledge economy, one must be better • in producing knowledge through research • in diffusing it through education • in applying it through innovation

  3. Staying Competitive in Science Staying Competitive in Science • Collaboration between European and worldwide research teams; access to rare/remote resources • Global Virtual Research Communities • Data-intensive science and innovation • Use and manage exponentially growing sets of data • Experimentation in silico, simulation • Use of high-performance computing • ICT a fundamental enabler for research & innovation

H5 N1 Credit: Y-T Wu Press article on e-Infrastructure EGEE Grid attacks Avian Flu During April 2006, a collaboration of Asian and EU laboratories has analysed 300,000 possible drug components against the avian flu virus H5N1 using the EGEE Grid infrastructure (for the docking of 300,000 compounds against 8 different target structures of Influenza A neuraminidases, 2000 computers were used during 4 weeks – the equivalent of 100 years on a single computer)

  15. Objective Objective • Make Europe the home for the Global Virtual Research Community • Support Knowledge and Innovation Communities • Increase efficiency of research and innovation • Raise awareness on the opportunities Highlight already existing impact • Share best practice • Investigate organizational models

  16. Challenges Challenges • Investments in infrastructures require a long term perspective • Operation continuity and long-term sustainability • Reinforce, combine and coordinate the efforts of national and EU funding authorities to ensure the most efficient and effective use of resources • Develop a new strategy for industrial involvement and coordination among funding authorities for HPC • Address strategic, policy, technical, financial and governance issues related to supercomputing • Exploit the innovative aspects of e-Infrastructures and the accumulated expertise beyond science (e.g. e-Health, e-Government)

  17. Priorities Priorities • Support international collaborations that are strategic for European scientific partnerships, thus reinforcing Global Virtual Research Communities • Consolidate e-Infrastructures as a multi-disciplinary platform for global collaborations • Reinforce European research capacity in the domain of high performance computing (HPC) • Adopt adequate organizational and governance models • Use e-Infrastructures as platforms for technology experimentation at large scale (e.g. Future Internet)

  18. Outlook Outlook e-Infrastructures in a Common Strategic Framework for EU Research & Innovation Funding: • Provide the collaboration structures and enabling ICT services for European researchers and scientists • e-Infrastructures need to provide the (enabling) support to Research and Innovation for Industrial Leadership, for Societal Challenges and for Excellence in Science

  19. Conclusions Conclusions • e-Infrastructures provide the underlying platforms for computationally intensive applications that enable international collaboration combining knowledge from different fields of science • e-Infrastructures integrate and make widely available national infrastructures and resources • e-Infrastructures implement a key EU policy and strategy (e.g. the European Research and Innovation Area) • e-Infrastructures “facilitate” cohesion, standards, industry, etc … • New forms of organizations – Global Virtual Research Organisations – emerge using high performance computing environments
