The goal of this meeting is not to define precisely the work packages and details of possible H2020 projects but to agree on recommendations to take forward to the EU-T0 and other relevant meetings focussing on H2020 project proposal preparation.
The window for preparing the projects in earnest is mid-May to mid-July 2014, with a deadline for submission of 2 September 2014.

EINFRA-1: possible projects
a)
Clean slate approaches to data management targeting 2020+ 'data factory' requirements of research communities and large scale facilities
JDS: this is not strictly speaking a "data preservation" issue but IMHO is a clear opportunity for "EU-T0" / EIROforum / related institutes and projects to bid for.
Q: who is providing the support and solutions for these "next generation" data factories: SKA, HL-LHC, FCC etc.
b)
Cost-effective and interoperable solutions for data management and long term preservation.
Including certification, demonstration of high level of service, sustainability.
This should / could build on what has been co-funded by FP7 (and prior) EU projects, so need not be in conflict with EUDAT / EGI / EU-T0 (and could in fact be synergistic).
We seem to be unique in terms of:
Our proven scale;
Our proven level of service:
Our understanding of the costs and plans / predictions for 1-2 decades.

VRE: possible projects
Assuming something like ISO 16363 / DSA is covered in the infrastructure area, can we address our scientific, cultural and educational goals in the VRE calls? (EINFRA-9 and complementarity with INFRADEV-4, covering CTA, SKA, XFEL etc.)
Specifically:
Open Data for Educational Outreach
Reproducibility of results
Maintaining the full scientific potential of the data
