Research Infrastructures
Visible facts from FP5 on support for Research Infrastructures:
GÉANT / international connectivity - Eumedis, ALIS, TEIN, Russia,...
Large scale experimentation on IPv6 Grids pilots involving leading Research Centers
High political visibility - EP, Council, eEurope 2002 Doubling budget in FP6 for GÉANT and Grids Infrastructures
International dimension

piloting of new and particularly powerful forms of distributed computing – Grids – boosting the processing of information
Two key aspects for the future:

GÉANT
World leading Research Network Speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s Connecting more than 3100 Universities and R&D centers Over 32 countries across Europe Connectivity to NA, Japan, …
The “super-machinery” for information processing
Computing power: >>20 teraflop/sec/equivalent to 100.000 PCs
Co-operative science: among 2,000 scientist in the world
CERN
The Large Hadron Collider Project (CERN)
DATAGRID
Flexible control and sharing of distributed resources Current pilots are bringing Grids from
the laboratory bench into the real world.
Several application areas – high energy physics, earth/environment, biology, industrial simulations, etc

Research e-Infrastructures:
“corner-stone” of ERA “spear-head” of an “eEurope infrastructure”
(e.g. broadband plus) “integrator” of National Infrastructures powerful “instrument” for International cooperation … cohesion, cooperation,
standards, industrial, etc…
In the Specific Programme on "Structuring the European Research Area”
2.3. Communication Network Development
“The objective of this scheme in support of existing research infrastructures is to create a denser network between related initiatives, in particular by establishing a high-capacity and high-speed communications network for all researchers in Europe (GÉANT) and specific high performance Grids and test-beds (Grids).”
FP6 - Research Infrastructure
2.3. Communication Network Development
focus on:
High-capacity and high-speed communications network for all researchers in Europe (GÉANT)
High performance Grids infrastructures
Test-beds (within the IST priority)
FP6 - Research Infrastructure
FP6 – focus on GÉANT
GÉANT – maintain and capitalise on worldwide leadership on Research Networks
FP6 GÉANT network will represent a significant step forward in terms of
services, communities served, geographical scope, bandwidth and pioneering new technologies
These infrastructures should exhibit production-level performance capabilities and constitute themselves distributed facilities at gigabit/terabit scales (in terms of computing, storage and communication power).
Grids – moving from experimental pilots to stable provision of services
Deployment of Grids-empowered infrastructures to the Research Community in all scientific disciplines.
FP6 – focus on Grids
DG INFSO has established an ambitious plan to implement the objectives identified in FP6 for Grids.
Two complementary objectives being pursued – Grids for complex problem solving and Grids infrastructures.
With the work on GÉANT and Grids (Research Infrastructure in close cooperation with IST), the European Commission expects to deploy an e-Infrastructure for all Research Communities, thus contributing to the fast deployment of the European Research Area!
Research Infrastructure require more than technology… require policies! We are ready to cooperate with Member States and you, to devise and implement them!
Good projects are key to the success of FP6!
