Research Infrastructures roadmaps and Competence Centres

• Gergely Sipos (EGI.EU)

Description

Keynote speakers from the Research Infrastructures participating to the EGI Distributed Competence Centre will provide an overview of their technical roadmaps and will explain how the Competence Centre will help realizing them. The session provides an excellent opportunity to learn how international research communities spanning life science, art and humanities and natural sciences will drive the evolution of EGI and of distributed European cyber-infrastructures in the coming years.

40. ELIXIR's service deployment phase: Starting the implementation of the European life-science infrastructure for biological information

Rafael Jimenez (ELIXIR)

18/05/2015, 13:40

At the core of ELIXIR's strategy is the recognition that large-scale data management in the life sciences is not limited to a few sites. A European data infrastructure must be able to cope with the aggregation, annotation and integration of data from thousands of laboratories as well as scaling these data-services to millions of users worldwide. ELIXIR has progressed through a long preparatory...

41. BBMRI-ERIC - Biobanking and Biomolecular Resource Infrastructure

Petr Holub (BBMRI-ERIC)

18/05/2015, 14:00

As has been demonstrated in the previous years, providing high-quality samples and data for biomedial research is one of the key challenges the science is currently facing. BBMRI-ERIC, a European Research Infrastructure Consortium on Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources, strives to establish, operate, and further developing a pan-European distributed research infrastructure...

42. A Competence Center to Serve Translational Research from Molecule to Brain

Alexandre Bonvin (eNMR/WeNMR (via Dutch NGI))

18/05/2015, 14:20

The MoBrain Competence Center of EGI-Engage aims at building transversal and vertical connections between techniques, researchers and clinicians to provide them with an optimal e-Science toolbox to tackle societal challenges related to health. It builds on grid- and cloud-based infrastructures and on the existing expertise available within WeNMR (www.wenmr.eu) and N4U (neugrid4you.eu) in order...

196. Challenges in the EGI-LifeWatch Competence Center

43. European Plate Observing System (EPOS): a distributed e-Infrastructure for Solid Earth Sciences

Daniele Bailo (EPOS/ INGV)

18/05/2015, 15:30

The European Plate Observing System (EPOS) is an ambitious long term integration plan addressing the major solid-earth research infrastructures in Europe. For its large scale and extent it is a unique initiative which will foster new scientific discoveries and enable scientists to investigate the solid earth system with unprecedented ways. A key aspect of EPOS is to provide end-users with...

44. Roadmap for incoherent scatter radar operations

Ingemar Haggstrom (EISCAT Scientific Association)

18/05/2015, 15:50

The reason that the radar facilities exist in the first place is to provide scientists with the means to perform observations and experiments as part of a wide range of research activities. Six areas of collaborative efforts have been identified and these are: Data levels; Access; Standard operations; Non-standard operations; Training and education; and Outreach. We will present the main...

45. e-Science for the Masses: Asia Pacific Regional Collaborations on Disaster Mitigation

Eric Yen (ASGC)

18/05/2015, 16:10

By means of e-Science resources and collaboration framework, the Disaster Mitigation Competence Centre (DMCC) is aiming to improve strategy of prevention and reduction of disasters. Three categories of regional focused hazards are targeted, which include the earthquake and tsunami, extreme weather and environmental changes. DMCC will create virtual research environments with embedded services...
