Description
DIRAC 4 EGI pilot initiative is intended to prove the feasibility of a pan european DIRAC installation providing open access to e-Infrastructure to any interested community or individual.
After collecting the feedback from the initial providers and users of the service, its long term operation and strategy for the incorporation of new communities will be discussed.
The vision of the proponents, EGI.eu and the DIRAC, is that this service will provide a simple and powerful, single entry point to the available e-Infrastructure. At the same time, DIRAC offers to its users the possibility to customize their experience building their own Virtual Research Environment using the same DIRAC framework or connecting their own solution to the provided service.
The strategies to fund these activities in the context of H2020 will be presented.
