Three Swedish e-Science initiatives:

KTH – LiU – SU – KI, 30 MSEK/year

UU – Umeå – Lund, 26 MSEK/year

Strategic Research Area: e-Sciencee-Science is one of 20 strategic research areas (SRAs) funded by the Swedish government since 2010 Our definition of e-Science:

Advancing science through leading computation, information and communication technologies

Today’s Agenda Swedish e-Science Education

• Courses in e-Science for PhD students• SeSE is a collaboration between the two

national strategic research initiatives eSSENCEand SeRC, originating from the e-Science graduate schools NGSSC and KCSE

• Information about upcoming courses with syllabus and further information can be found at www.sese.nu

Swedish e-Infrastructure

• Swedish National Infrastructurefor Computing (SNIC), www.snic.se

• Swedish University Computer Network (SUNET), www.sunet.se

• SNIC and SUNET are bodies of the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet, VR), www.vr.se

SUNET

§ The Swedish University Networkwww.sunet.se

§ Supports the needs of the Swedish research and education communities

§ Offers high-capacity computer networks since 1980

§ Hosts a wide variety of services for connected organisations

§ The Swedish Research Council administratively responsible

§ Directors of SUNET: § Hans Wallberg (until 2013) § Maria Häll (since 2013)

§ Universities and colleges are connected § Used by all staff:

§ Researchers§ Teachers§ Administrative staff§ Technicians§ Students

§ Government museums, the Royal Library, artistic schools are becoming connected

§ SUNET is funded by governmental grants and fees from the affiliated universities

NORDUnet Infrastructure

The Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) is a national research infrastructure

Director: Jacko Koster

3-fold mission:

- provide a balanced and cost-efficient set of resources and user support for large scale computation and data storage

- meet the needs of researchers from all scientific disciplines and from all institutes for higher education and research institutes

- make the resources available through open application procedures such that the best Swedish research is supported and new research is facilitated

Today’s AgendaThe Council for Research Infrastructures (RFI) –

a decision-taking body withinthe Swedish Research Council (VR)

VR General Director: Sven Stafström RFI Secretary General: Juni Palmgren

”VR is an authority within the Ministry of Education and Research. VR has a leading role in developing Swedish research of the highest scientific quality, thereby contributing to the development of society.”

The RFI remit includes to

• Fund national infrastructure • Fund the Swedish membership in international

infrastructures• Be responsible for the long-term strategic planning,

including the development and revision of a national roadmap (called the Guide) for research infrastructure

• Represent Sweden in international infrastructure organizations

• Monitor and evaluate research infrastructures

14 examples of RIs co-funded by VRExamples in RED have large needs of the e-infrastructures SNIC and SUNET

• BBMRI Biobanking and molecular resource infrastructure

• CERN• CLARIN Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure

• ECDS Environmental Climate Data Sweden• EISCAT European Incoherent Scatter Facility• ESO European Southern Observatory • ESS European Social Survey• ESS European Spallation Source• ICOS Integrated Carbon Observation System• IODP International Ocean Discovery Program• Max IV National synchrotron laboratory• Myfab Micro and nano fabrication network• Onsala Space Observatory• Swedish Bioimaging
