ERA - fostering an EU internal knowledge market
Moving to a European level Research policy Strengthen co-operation between National and EU Activities Improve links between National and EU policies and schemes Take into account enlargement Development of a “shared vision” on European RTD Potential for co-funding arrangements
Realising ERA will require New thinking: more strategic and goal oriented New approach: integration, concentration, critical mass and flexibility New scope: taking account of the international dimension of RTD (greater
awareness of who’s doing what) New instruments: Integrated Projects (IPs) & Networks of Excellence (NoEs),
Integrated Infrastructure Initiatives (I3)
ERA - a new context for EU supported RTDERA - a new context for EU supported RTD
eInfrastructures as a foundation for ERA:
integrated communication and information processing service to the researcher/user
integrating distributed resources (instrumentation, tools, computers, data, humans...)
unprecedented levels of computational, data transfer and storage capacity
knowledge sharing environments for science and engineering
eInfrastructures: empowering the usereInfrastructures: empowering the user
Connectivity services (GÉANT & the NREN)
Computing- & data-resource sharing services (Grids...)

Deployment of Grids-empowered infrastructures to the Research Community in all scientific disciplines
further deployment of GÉANT
deployment of a second layer with widespread Grid features, able to openly provide services to a large set of application communities
… moving from experimental pilots to stable provision of services
Indicative budget in FP6 - GÉANT infrastructure:100 M€
- Grid infrastructure:100 M€
- Test-beds: 50 M€
Strategic objective: Grid empowered eInfrastructure for research

Continue to provide connectivity to all NRENs - yearly growth 2x to 3x
Serve new user communities (education, cultural heritage...) Geographical extension (Balkans, NIS etc) Provide high BW for special applications (e.g. Grids) End-to End QoS, Security, Mobility Deployment of a European wide AAA scheme IPv6 all the way; deployment of new underlying switched

“corner-stone” of European Research Area
enabling sharing of information/knowledge
“integrator” of National Infrastructures
“spear-head” of an “eEurope infrastructure” (e.g. broadband ++)
can potentially be a key element of the GROWTH initiative
cohesion, co-operation across Europe
key element for international co-operation

eInfrastructures: motivation for new policy initiativeseInfrastructures: motivation for new policy initiatives
Breaking barriers:
New organizational policies
Resource sharing attitude
Common policies of accessing computing & data storage resources across institutions, application domains, national boundaries
The harmonization of such policies is a major challenge!

MS and AS and the EC work together to harmonize such policies in Europe

Context for new initiatives on more harmonised international policies on the access and use of ICT-resources (notably computing, data storage…)
Challenge: closer links and synergies between the eInfrastructure - Cyberinfrastructure - other similar concepts of the AP and of other world regions
