Description

Abstract: The talk introduces the audience to the European Union (EU) research policies, focusing in the area of Research Infrastructures. It outlines the historic evolution of the constituency of electronic Infrastructures (eInfrastructures) as these become mature. In this process, the progressively increasing role of industry is analysed. The main eInfrastructures topics in the 7th EU Framework Programme (FP7) Connectivity, Grids, Supercomputers and Scientific Repositories are outlined, and the participation of industry in upcoming FP7 calls is encouraged.
