Topics opened in Call FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2013-2 (call N° 12):

INFRA-2013-3.1: Support actions on policy development, including international cooperation, for e-Infrastructures.

Proposals will aim at providing policy support for e-Infrastructures, in one of the following areas:

  • bringing together national and pan-European e-Infrastructure and research infrastructures initiatives and stakeholders (in particular e-IRG and ESFRI) in view of better meeting common research infrastructure needs through einfrastructure offerings,
  • investigating the feasibility of EU-wide network of HPC competence centres to provide services to industry, in particular to SME’s,
  • fostering an increased European role and participation with relevant stakeholders in global data infrastructure initiatives, in particular the Research Data Alliance (RDA); this includes facilitating European industrial involvement in order to exploit emerging opportunities for products and services based on the increased availability of interoperable data,
  • developing a roadmap for broadening e-infrastructures deployment to support the participation of the citizens in all phases of the scientific development process, including the definition of research goals.
