Description
EGI is an aggregator of national and domain specific capabilities, with its governance based on national e-infrastructures (NGIs) and international scientific communities. The EGI federation brings together compute & storage resources, scientific datasets and various digital platforms and data analysis and simulation environments from over 30 countries, 300 institutes to make these available for Open Science worldwide.
This session will zoom into the NGI, the national pillars of EGI, and into similar national providers of the global compute ecosystem. The session will include a series of talks that (1) highlight new services and plans from EGI national stakeholders, and (2) demonstrate alignment pathways for national EGI nodes and the ‘European Open Science Cloud’.
