eInfranet
Scholarly Communication - Infrastructure
Status: Current
SURFfoundation is participating in the three year European eInfranet project. The aim of eInfraNet is to set up a high-level policy body developing policies to reinforce and promote efforts to foster world-class ICT infrastructures. The Steering Committee of eInfraNet will be made up of high level executives from ministries and funding agencies to articulate the policy objectives.
The proposed European Research Area network (ERA-NET) will coordinate on a European level the e-infrastructure policies, promoting pan-European collaboration of scientists from all disciplines of Science and Technologies.
There is a need for harmonising and co-ordinating the related national efforts and establishing a common European endeavour in order to serve successful integration of the diverse and parallel local and regional policies in the field of e-Infrastructures. The ERA-NET will be targeted at national programme managers and policy makers which will improve policy collaboration and build further on the outputs of existing groups, making sure the innovative policy ideas will be integrated properly in national and EC policy. The implementation of the project will be a unique opportunity bringing together key representatives from several countries all over Europe, working according to a well planned programme with a clear target of achieving progress that will lead to concrete common programmes and calls. The realisation of this ambitious objective will benefit the e-infrastructure sector in Europe.
