2. "The views expressed in this presentation are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission" Mário Campolargo Head of Unit DG INFSO F3 Research Infrastructure Roadmap for e Infrastructure Research Infrastructures Info Event, Brussels, 26-27 May 2005

3. Flexible control and sharing of distributed resources Research Infrastructures Resources can be of any information type (storage, computing, networking, instrumentation, etc) Resources can be distributed world-wide Resources can be physical, virtual, single or multiple sited Access to them is provided in a secure, coordinated, seamless, dynamic and inexpensive way

4. Advanced e Infrastructures Human Society ICT based eco system Sharing of resources, production efficiency repeated assembling of basic elements into organisations people / computers environment resources / ICT based resources Basic elements

5. Vision - creating an e Infrastructure… e Infrastructure (Grids empowered) e Infrastructure (Grids empowered) security mobility semantic web. automatic management broadband learning business aeronautics genomics environment astronomy health science IPv6 Grid

6. Role of e Infrastructure in the innovation circle Basic research Applications Standardisation Pre-commercial deployment Market Testbeds

9. GÉANT and Grids - world leading e Infrastructures Five-Year Assessment: 1999-2003 – Research and Technology Development in Information Society Technologies GÉANT is acknowledged as leading the world. Europe is a pioneer in Grid empowered infrastructures. ICT based infrastructure, namely GÉANT and GRID, need reinforcement and expansion in FP7. Challenges ahead - Consolidation, enlargement, deepening
