Presentation Transcript

  1. An e-Infrastructure in Europe:Some policy remarks at the network infrastructure level Dany.Vandromme@renater.fr Affiliations: RENATER, NRENPC, DANTE BoD, ESFRI, eIRG

  2. Current status of Networks • Every European country has its own NREN: • Network infrastructure • Managing organisation • Political support • “guaranteed” financial support over time • NREN’s policies are defined and implemented nationally

  3. Current status of Networks • Pan-European interconnection is ensured by the collective action of the European Commission AND the European NRENs: GEANT • No European AUP (subsidiarity) • Policies is compromised between EC expectations and NREN constraints • Worldwide extension may conflict with National concerns

  4. Current limitations of the network policies • AUPs are made on a defensive mode (public funding, Market competition, …) • AUPs are designed for controlling national use of resources. • AUPs are not designed for dealing with large scale international cooperation • Current policy is very protective of the NRENs, but should be adapted to the European Research Area

  5. Expected evolution of the network policies • Design a global policy for scientific projects • Preserve the existing model (because of national policies and funding mechanisms) • Broaden the access to the European infrastructure (nationally, internationally) • Include properly the e-Infrastructure into the global European Research Infrastructure Policy through the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructure (ESFRI)

  6. Expected evolution of the network policies • Joint work is starting now between GRID and network projects: This should be strenghtened and properly funded! • National policies should not be satisfied of using the EC action to harmonize! • Do not neglect the regulatory constraints (still unknown by GRIDs, but familiar to NRENs and DANTE).

  7. Expectations of the e-Infrastructure • E-Infrastructure is not a goal: it should be a tool for Science, Education, Industry and Business • Be incentive for e-science actions in all European countries should be the best advertisement for disseminating e-infrastructures • Induce better (more efficient) science.
