Area 5. Digital Infrastructures for EOSC and/or EDI
Presentation
The concept behind promoting a joint presentation of the three projects – eInfraCentral, EOSC-hub, OpenAIRE-Advance – is a fitting approach to help drive forward and implement the EOSC and interlink **People, Data, Services and Training, Publications, Projects and Organisations.**
**1. The challenge for research communities**
**People & Training:** Due to a fragmented e-infrastructure...

Area 5. Digital Infrastructures for EOSC and/or EDI
Presentation
The EOSCpilot project (2017-2018) has the purpose of supporting the first phase of development of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). Among its objectives, there is the one to develop a number of demonstrators functioning as high-profile pilots, that integrate services and infrastructures to show interoperability and its benefits in selected scientific domains.
To meet this objective, the...

Area 5. Digital Infrastructures for EOSC and/or EDI
Presentation
The aim of the ELIXIR Cloud Analysis Platform is to co-develop and implement an integrated cloud platform that is compliant with relevant global standards/specifications, such as those coming out of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH). To date, six national nodes (EMBL-EBI, ELIXIR-FI, ELIXIR-DE, ELIXIR-CH, ELIXIR-UK and ELIXIR-IT) have committed resources to develop and...

Area 6. Business models, sustainability and policies
Presentation
Both the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the European Data
Infrastructure (EDI) are envisaged as federated initiatives that will be
built on top of country-level counterparts in order to succeed. The
e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG) addressed this point already
in its 2016 Roadmap and recommended that national governments and
funding agencies should reinforce their efforts...

Area 5. Digital Infrastructures for EOSC and/or EDI
Presentation
IBERGRID was born out of the Iberian Common Plan for distributed infrastructures released in 2007, but the origins can be traced back to the Portuguese and Spanish participation in joint projects since 2002. Since then, IBERGRID has been federating infrastructures from Iberian research & academic organisations mainly focused on grid, cloud computing and data processing.
The IBERGRID...

Presentation
Sustainability of academic software in general and of virtual research environments (VREs) and of science gateways particularly is a major concern for many academic projects. Solicitations for funding mostly support novel developments and novel research to accelerate science but little to sustain existing computational solutions. The importance of software for science and its sustainability...
