What is research about today? Data driven Fast Broadband access 9 Computing resources

e-Infrastructures supporting every researcher becoming digital The way forward on e-Infrastructures • From "operation centric" to "user centric" • From "technology offer" to "service offer" • Fostering long-term sustainability through: ü Service reliability ü Continuous Innovation ü International Cooperation ü Open Research Data ü Horizontal support of cross-cutting initiatives

e-Infrastructures WP 2016 -17 focuses on: • Open research data • Data and computing intensive science • Research and education networking • High Performance Computing • Big data innovation

Challenges • Service orientation ─ Catalogue of services publication ─ Digital registries • Maximizing the impact of e-Infrastructures ─ Use of KPIs ─ Socio-economic impact assessment • Innovation through co-design ─ Focus on partnership balance. Complementarity of roles and competences • Horizon 2020 as a catalyst for growth and jobs

e-Infra WP 2016 -17 consists of 3 themes 1 – Integration & Consolidation and consolidation of e-infrastructure platforms supporting European policies and research and education communities 2 – Innovation & Prototyping innovative e-infrastructure platforms and services for research and education communities, industry and citizens at large 3 – Policy Support to policies and international cooperation

Theme 1 - Integration and consolidation Activities - Coordination of operations (regional, national & European levels) - Exploiting synergies between operational e-Infrastructures - Disruption free service upgrades Required - TRL 6/TRL 8* - Documentation of services on an open Service Catalogue - Services to be assessed by an external board (approved by the EC) - To conclude written collaboration agreements with GÉANT *variations apply depending on Topic

Theme 2 – Innovation & Prototyping e-Infrastructure platforms and services need to evolve through innovation actions to respond to the long-term needs of research and education communities, industry and the citizens at large. Activities - Platform-driven innovation. Push from the supply side - User-driven innovation. Pull from the demand side Required - TRL 6 at the beginning; TRL 8 by the end of the project* *except procurement actions (PPI)

Support Actions • Development of policy and international cooperation • Promotion of European leadership in the development of new capacity for research data, HPC and networking • Contribution to international standardisation activities, strategic alignment and best practices sharing

Other Actions • Call for proposals under the GÉANT Framework Partnership Agreement: – Operational excellence in networking services for the research and academia community. Prototyping the services, applications and resources to support the needs of extreme-scale systems – Trans-Atlantic submarine cable between Europe and South America • Call for proposals under the Human Brain Project Framework Partnership Agreement: – Support for peak requirements of computing power and memory footprint.

Specific conditions on e-Infrastructure topics • Proposals shall consider existing operational services to the greatest extent possible • All services developed should be made discoverable on-line by including them in searchable catalogues or digital registries • All software developed should be open source with appropriate licenses • All proposals are requested to suggest clear metrics (KPI) for monitoring results and impact • Detailed list of activities: Theme 1: Focus on (i) Networking & (ii) Service activities Theme 2: (i)Networking, (ii) Service & (iii)Joint Research Activities (JRA)
