Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers

Outcome: Effective exploitation and development of eInfrastructures internationally, adding value to industry, research and society

Aim: Create a knowledge sharing and dissemination platform for eInfrastructure users and providers

Method: Online: a digital library; search and contact facility; one-stop information; Offline: brainstorming to develop ideas, networking and conferences to create collaborations and awareness, publications to disseminate knowledge on eInfrastructures, their trends and implications

BELIEF AIMS



BELIEF: expanding frontiers•To create synergies and knowledge exchange between the research infrastructure competencies of Europe …

•…..create collaborations between Europe’s eInfrastructures and those in emerging economies, Latin America in particular, and India, plus USA….

•Expanding frontiers means also: new user communities; create awareness of new possibilities that eInfrastructures open up



BELIEF so far Community members – from Latin America, India, Europe,

Business, Research and public administration

Search and contact; Case studies facility; eConcertation forum; eUpdates and one-stop shop information and…

Digital Library: 3700 docs and rising - audiovisual files, deliverables

o Search by collection or project.

o Members benefit from standard/ advanced browse, DMS, private groups.

o Case Study Dissemination facility (! EU India Grid!)

o You can be a part of it: [email protected]!



BELIEF so far Research-Industry handbook on business opportunities

and trends of new user communities

Collaboration with projects

o 11 MoUs with projects for dissemination and DL documentation harvesting…more welcome

o Common dissemination with EGEE-II, OMII Europe, DEISA and DANTE(Geant2): European eInfrastructures guide and film

o eConcertation: online discussion board, agenda creation



Brainstormings

Scientific Repositories, April 2006, Linz

Europe-wide, world-wide, content repositories: Technology report charting a roadmap to establishing large-scale scientific repositories for Knowledge Infrastructures

Biomedical Informatics - CERN (plus ERNET)



Future BELIEF IST 2006, eInfrastructures and Future Media

International eInfrastructures conference, New Delhi, 14-15 December

3 Brainstormings in 2007: Legal Implications (Manchester) Business applications (Dublin); Security applications (USA)

International Conference: Sao Paolo July 2007

Networking session, Budapest

PLUS: Expanding DL; RI Handbook editions; Technology reports; Dissemination and knowledge exchange service



eInfrastructures and Future Media

Content-dependent sectors such as: TV, gaming, telecom, publishing, e-learning, (digital) libraries, and cultural preservation.

•Share the need in research for managing, sharing, transforming and preserving data

•Harnessing infrastructures to this end will add huge value to their activities, transform business models.

•Exchange know how and ideas between researchers and industries on how to harness eInfrastructures for media research: RI projects, business, research…

eInfrastructures convergences and trends



eInfrastructures Conference, Delhi 14-15 December

Connecting Knowledge today for the value of tomorrow…

•How best to sustainably harness the eInfrastructures link between India and Europe, and expand to new and wider user communities.

•Create a community of grid stakeholders to discuss what may be new/pilot application areas for EuroIndian eInfrastructures:-

•Forum for technical/Project discussion: training, middleware interoperability – training, networking sessions, exhibition

•Outcome: eInfrastructures ‘grassroot’ voice to Policy bodies

•Themes:eHealth, Scientific repositories, eLearning; sustainability; Mobile and grid convergence; reducing the digital divide; government services driving eInfrastructures; Business implications and uptake



BELIEF and New Frontiers

•Contribution to projects’ respective events: as speakers, sharing of contacts in key user communities, synergies in efforts to create eScience (and other) communities

•Disseminate news and developments through BELIEF structures (website, events…), NB Case studies

•Hosting future documentation on the BELIEF DL - wealth of information for registered members, dissemination opportunity

•Help EU-India Grid raise priority topics of eInfrastructures in India through its conference14-15 December

EU-IndiaGrid – BELIEF: typical BELIEF collaboration



BELIEF and You

•Come to the Conference in Delhi – put issues on the agenda, promote your project

•Register with www.beliefproject.org as a community member

•Help shape future directions – online eConcertaion between projects

•Help bridge the gap between eInfrastructure supply and the application visions/demands: input into discussions with wide community.
