Description
The European Grid Infrastructure has been increasingly evolving towards a flexible open system of services provided by the many partners of the collaboration: resource providers, national e-Infrastructures and user communities. EGI has two common denominators: federation of data, computing, storage and high-level services because of the inherent distributed nature of science in Europe, and user-driven innovation to better address the heterogeneous service needs of researchers, from the large international collaborations to the long-tail.
The talk will present the main accomplishments achieved in the past years of activity supported by the European Commission through the EGI-InSPIRE project, and the future strategies in user engagement, user-driven innovation and e-Infrastructure collaboration.
