Summary
Cyber-infrastructure
1. E-Infrastructure
• strategic relevance of research infrastructures
• e-infrastructures: moving, processing and managing data
• coherent strategies and opportunities to implement them
2. Cloud Computing
3. Coordinated Calls
Cyber-Infrastructure
The two faces of Cyber-Infrastructure
E-Infrastructure developing the on-line ERA supporting research and innovation across all scientific domains with high speed connectivity, high performance computing and data infrastructure. This is part of the “Excellence in Science” pillar of H2020.
Cloud computing strategy to speed up the adoption and increase of cloud computing across all sectors of the economy
Times of change: research logic machines
Research Data collected at observation or experimentation phase were registered in the scientists notebooks, which used to be paper books
Now research data is stored in digital form. Easier to be processed by "logic machines" programmed with complex models able to dig into the data
Logic machines are made of human scientific knowledge and creativity, software and the underlying hardware
Scientist notebooks can now be linked to a huge amount of other data resources (including scientific papers), computers with unprecedented capacity, eventually connected to global networks
Europe riding the research data wave
Vision: "data e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use, and trust of data.
In a sense, the physical and technical infrastructure becomes invisible and the data themselves become the infrastructure a valuable asset on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance". The High Level Expert Group on
Scientific Data presented Riding the Wave in October 2010
Russell's quote could be extended:
“without data and computing infrastructures few men can achieve much in 21st century’s science”
Who is involved?
data generatorsresearch projects, big research infrastructure, installations or medium size laboratories,
simulation centres, surveys or individual researchersdiscipline-specific data services
providing data and workflows as a service
generic common data services computing centres, libraries,…
researchers as usersusing (and producing) data for science and engineering
community driven data infrastructure, including ESFRI, ESFRI clusters and others
Issues to be addressed (policy framework)
Are publically funded research data a public good?How do we ensure preservation and access?How to we make data discoverable and exchangeable?How to ensure integrity and reliability of data?How do we ensure appropriate recognition?How do we manage intellectual property?How do we deal with privacy in the research context? How do work the long term funding and cost/benefit?How to work at European and global levels? How to foster cooperation with developing countries?etc…
Issues to be addressed (e-infrastructure)
The EC in coordination with EU Member States is looking after research data as an infrastructure
As a valuable and a strategic resource, research data opens at least three key issues to be addressed(*):
•How data can be networked
•How to envision and set up data governance on a global scale
•How the EU can play a leading role in helping start and steer this global trend

Research Data Alliance: a funder’ perspective
Societal challenges of our time transcend borders
Data and computing intensive science is made of global collaborations
Research data are global
The European Commission has been supporting the set-up of the Research Data Alliance (RDA) to enable data exchange on a global scale
The initial phase of RDA has been supported by the collaboration between the European Commission, the US National Science Foundation and National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Australian Ministry of Research

E-Infrastructures, main issues
Data e-Infrastructures increase scope, depth and economies of scale of the scientific enterprise
Horizon 2020 provides tools and opportunities addressing data and computing e-infrastructures
If taken with appropriate resources and critical mass, can project Europe into the new world of data driven science
The objective is to combine the expertise of scientific communities with the expertise of ICT communities capable of exploring the limits of high bandwidth communication, high-performance computing, open scientific software and virtual research environments
2. EU Cloud computing strategy: vision and priorities
Commission Communication of 27 September 2012http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2012:0529:FIN:EN:PDF
Also known as the "European Cloud Strategy"
Strategy designed to speed up the adoption and increase the use of cloud computing across all sectors of the economy

European Council Conclusions
17
EU Heads of State and Government (25 October 2013) Chapter on "Digital Economy, Innovation and Services"
Several strategic technologies such as Big Data and Cloud Computing are important enablers for productivity and better services. Cloud Computing should improve access to data and simplify their sharing. Big Data aims to process, collect, store and analyse large amounts of data
EU action should provide the right framework conditions for a single market for Big Data and Cloud Computing, in particular by promoting high standards for secure, high-quality and reliable cloud services
What about research and innovation?
• COM(2012)529 of 27 September 2012:
• - Make full use of other instruments, notably through research and development support under Horizon 2020 on long term challenges specific to cloud computing as well as assisting the migration to cloud-based solutions
• Current status: significant resources (€100 million) allocated to support advanced cloud computing infrastructures and services
H2020 WP2014-2015: €95 million EU-Brazil: €3.5 million EU-Japan: €1.5 million 18

EUB1–2015: Cloud Computing,including security aspects
Specific Challenge: data are motivating a profound transformation in the culture and conduct of scientific research in every field of science and engineering. Advancements in this area are required in terms of cloud-centric applications for big data, as well as in creating novel cloud technologies that provide effective utilization and optimization of heterogeneous resources (such as storage and communications) in big data scenarios, in particular addressing privacy, security and other Quality-of-Service issues*
* In line with statement of EU Heads of State and Governmnet in October 201321
EUB1–2015: scope
Research and Innovation Actions (RIA)The focus of the joint research will be the development of innovative technologies combining advanced Clouds and Big Data approaches to address the challenges stemming from different application domains in business and societal contexts. The technologies developed should take into account interoperability and data portability issues and aim towards future standardization
Coordinated and Support Actions (CSA)One CSA for the research coordination and policy activities, including research roadmapping and supporting further future common activities, i.e. dissemination, organisation of workshops, preparation of future coordinated call topics, etc.
22
Expected impact
23
The joint EU-Brazil research will develop innovative technologies in the area of cloud based service provision by integrating approaches and aspects of distributed Clouds and Big Data
This collaboration will facilitate policy coordination in the relevant areas between the EU and Brazil, subsequently to be expanded to other LAC partners. In particular:
Facilitate the development of cloud-enabled applications through robust standardized global technologiesDevelopment of technologies integrating cloud and big data in terms of architecture, middleware and servicesJoint contributions to International Standardization and/or Forum activities
