Description
About SIENA
SIENA, the Standards and Interoperability for eInfrastructure Implementation Initiative (2010-2012), is focused on delivering a Roadmap creating a common vision for the future evolution of European Research and an integrated standards-based, interoperable European e-Infrastructure. This builds upon the knowledge, assets, best practices, policies and capabilities of the six European Distributed Computing Infrastructures (DCI) to provide value to all stakeholders in Research, Government and Industry.
The main goal of the workshop is to focus on DCI assets for the purpose of serving the eScience community and identifying standards required to make these assets interoperable. The workshop features a presentation from Carl Christian Buhr, Member of the Cabinet of Neelie Kroes European Commission Vice-President for the Digital Agenda, as well as insights into the various assets that the EC-funded DCI and ESFRI projects can offer in the areas of eScience, Industry and eGovernment. Effective dialogue between stakeholder participants will be ensured through an Open Discussion on technical challenges, eGovernment, industry uptake, and call to action.
