Project description
Supporting Europe’s roadmap for cloud-based integration of its world-class research infrastructures
From e-commerce to e-health and e-tourism, services enhanced by electronic platforms are growing rapidly, accelerated in part by the pandemic. The EU has ambitious goals to harness the power of the cloud for collaboration and competitiveness, and its e-infrastructure plans are a key part of this. The e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG) is developing roadmaps to integrate Europe’s world-class research infrastructures. Areas include electronic data interchange (EDI), the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) providing cloud-based computing services, and the e-Infrastructure Commons bridging research and digital resources for research data and calculations. The EU-funded e-IRGSP6 project is supporting the e-IRG through operation of the secretariat, editorial support and communication and liaison activities.
Objective
e-IRGSP6 will provide the core services to the e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG). The project will support e-IRG in its activities producing high-level policy recommendations towards the implementation of EOSC, EDI and the e-Infrastructure Commons overall. The activities include the operation of the secretariat, i.e. organisation of e-IRG and outreach events and provision of secretarial support to e-IRG, its Chair and Executive Board. The provision of editorial support during the preparation of policy documents, as well as the support to e-IRG working groups and task forces are also vital services needed by e-IRG.

The provision of editorial support during the preparation of policy documents, as well as the support to e-IRG working groups and task forces are also vital services needed by e-IRG. The communication and liaison activities include the dissemination of the outputs of e-IRG, liaison with its various stakeholders, in particular ESFRI, the operation of the external and internal e-IRG web presence and maintenance of the social media outlets. e-IRGSP6 will also assist the EC, the Members States and Associated Countries with communication activities around EOSC and EDI/EuroHPC. Through these supporting activities by e-IRGSP6 and in its capacities e-IRG will contribute to the implementation of EOSC and promote the cultural change towards Open Science principles. The consortium is very experienced and well-connected in the field through long-term involvement in previous e-IRG support projects.
