DC-NET e-infrastructure Concertation Seminar in Tallinn - Estonia
13 January 2011 - 14 January 2011
Belgium
DC-NET is the European Research Area Network woking to bring the digital cultural heritage on the “wave” of the e-infrastructures. In the framework of the DC-NET project, eight governments and research agencies are working to reach an agreement on a set of common priorities for digital cultural heritage research and are discussing with e-Infrastructures to identify how best to carry out this research using the National Research and Education Networks and the other Grid providers.
The work of DC-NET is fully integrated into the vision of the Joint Programming Initiative for Cultural Heritage, chaired by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities together with the Italian Ministry of Research. This integration is of high importance for the coordination and the creation of virtual synergies among the national and European programmes and in this light it is of vital importance for the sustainability of the next deployment initiatives that are planned to be launched through the DC-NET ERA-NET.
Representatives of the project, as well as European organisations (e-IRG, EGI.EU DANTE) and e-Infrastructure providers (EENET, GRNET, RENATER, COMETA, GARR, BELNET) will identify and document common approaches and mechanisms whereby multinational projects and memory institutions with digital cultural heritage collections can gain access to individual NRENs as well as to the resources managed by coordination initiatives such as GEANT and Grid platforms.
The event in Tallinn, organised by the Estonian Ministry of Culture, which is a partner of the DC-NET ERA-NET project, is part of this strategy.Full information are available on the project's website: www.dc-net.org
