Success stories in using e-Infrastructures for research (Track Leaders: E. Katragkou, P. Castejon)
Session
EGI’s sustainability plans have become increasingly coupled with its long-term strategy: connect researchers from all fields of science across the whole European Research Area (ERA) with the reliable and innovative ICT services from EGI that they need to undertake their collaborative world-class and world-inclusive research.
The EGI Outreach activity integrates and mobilises experts, tools...

We present an account of the GridPP Collaboration's efforts to engage with and build up a new community of grid users for the CERN@school project. CERN@school is a research programme initiated at the Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys in Canterbury, UK, that brings detector technology developed by the Medipix Collaboration into schools. The fundamental premise of CERN@school is that...

Abstract
The advancement of science has been strongly stimulated by the very existence of advanced e-infrastructures, such as provided by European and national back bone networks and the resource infrastructures on top of that (PRACE, EGI, EUdat, ESFRI-facilities). Gradually, however, the focus on provisioning e-infrastructures and ICT is shifting towards their...

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) allow people from various backgrounds to receive education on almost any topic, and have recently become very popular because of this. In this EGI InSpire project, a MOOC was created to teach grid computing to a wider audience. For this purpose, lectures were recorded, animations were created and grid users were given the opportunity to demonstrate how grid...

The Belle II experiment is a next-generation B factory experiment at the KEK laboratory, Tsukuba, Japan, scheduled to start operating in 2016. Belle II is expected to collect about fifty times more data than its predecessor, the Belle experiment. By 2022, the data collected volume is expected to be comparable to the data volume of the LHC experiments.
Processing and analysing such a huge...

Leveraging on a grid and cloud based synergistic use of the Molecular and Materials Sciences research skills of its members, the Chemistry, Molecular & Materials Science and Technology (CMMST) community has developed on the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) a set of activities, softwares and human services aimed at supporting Computational Chemistry applications.
In this endeavour,...

Virtual Research Environments, gateways and workflow engines (Track Leaders: J. Montagnat, G. Sipos)
Sessions contributions
The VESPA project aims to provide a Virtual Environment for qualitative and quantitative evaluation, and rehabilitation of motor and cognitive diseases such as mental or linguistic retard, and Alzheimer’s Disease. The VESPA system is built on top of a fully immersive, Virtual Reality system, and is remotely supervised. The system is designed to be deployable not only in rehabilitation centers...

The fields of Protein Structural Biology and Sequence Analysis (Protein/DNA/RNA) are growing communities within the EU research map. Within the European Grid Infrastructure several VRCs (e.g. WeNMR and LSGC) and VOs (e.g. enmr.eu, biomed) have been setup to tackle the computational needs of these fields of science. At the same time the information on how new users can approach and use such...

The IT as a Utility Network+ has been running since the summer of 2012 under the Research Councils UK Digital Economy theme. The Network's purpose is to foster deeper understanding of new technologies and services through multidisciplinary research activities for diverse user communities. Such understanding can be gleaned through focused workshops, innovative pilot projects and cross-sector...
