Room: EGI.eu meeting room AREAS OF COLLABORATION 1. International research collaborations . SKA . ELIXIR . brain research . environmental science . LIGO . IceCube Neutrino Observatory . LSST ... 2. Exchange of existing operational services and user-facing services for economies of scale and avoid duplication 3. Technical support to international user communities (including the long tail) with the possibility of pooling resources provided by different e-Infrastructures. 4. Sharing of user-facing tools, scientific gateways, virtual laboratories. e-Infrastructures with technical support activities and/or funding programmes focused on developing of community platforms, would benefit from defining a common interoperability framework, so that community tools can be shared and reused across e-Infrastructures. 5. Support of open standards (with a focus on cloud). Are the e-Infrastructures providing IaaS cloud services interested in joining forces to support/develop/adopt cloud *open* standards to broaden their adoption? 6. Technical developments of common interest, e.g. support of different assurance levels in the current AAI infrastructures
