Description
Nowadays science requires services that empower researchers from all disciplines to collaborate in data- and compute-intensive research across borders through free-at-the-point-of-use services. EGI is an international collaboration that federates the digital capabilities, resources and expertise of hundreds of national and international research communities in Europe and worldwide. It delivers a distributed federated infrastructure that responds to the present and future needs of data-centric scientific computing in Europe, bringing together compute facilities, data, scientific applications and software as the pillars of the EOSC Compute Platform.
As scientific computing continues to evolve and expand, it is important to consider how it can best be integrated into the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and what is the role of the EGI Federation and National infrastructures in this process. The session will therefore feature a panel discussion on the future of computing in EOSC and the evolving role of the EGI Federation.
