Following the previous events which took place in
Athens on 12 June, 2003, and
Roma on 9 December, 2003
under the aegis of the Presidency of the EU,
the Irish Office of Science and Techology (OST)
under the aegis of the Irish Presidency of the
European Union
and in co-operation with the European Commission
is planning further initiatives to progress the
discussions on Grid-empowered infrastructure to create
new enhanced facilities for performing research and
for fostering innovation in Europe.
In this context a new event is scheduled for the 15th and
16th April, 2004, in Dublin, on the initiative of the
Irish EU Presidency and in co-operation with the European
Commission, with the main objectives to:
-
Create more awareness on the eInfrastructure
initiative and involve other important actors
currently missing from earlier initiatives.
-
Discuss next steps and actions in
the context of a policy and administrative
framework in Europe that would cross
technological, administrative and national
domains.
-
Intensively discuss policies at the funding,
sharing and user levels.
-
Discuss a concrete policy proposal relating
to grid authentication
and a way forward for grid authorization
policies.
-
Discuss better links and synergies between
Europe and other regions (e.g. US, Japan) that
are engaging in similar activities.
-
In these ways facilitate and support the next
meeting of the eInfrastructure Reflection Group.
One of the primary goals of the meeting, at which key players
in the construction of the EU eInfrastructure will be present,
is to review the perspectives and the technical and political
issues related to the usage of the eInfrastructure for Science
and Society at the national, European and international
level.
