Infrastructures and Infostructures

e-Infrastructures are enablers:

They empower research methods making available advanced tools, instruments, testbeds, etc

They allow remote access of unique resource to Scientists

They enable collaboration

Science is the flow from Information to Knowledge, to Wisdom and to Foresight

••• 4

A new vision for Science

Virtual communities

Improved scientific process

Cross-disciplinarity

Data deluge Wet-labs versus ICT infrastructures

Role of simulation

••• 5

The knowledge triangle at work

in producing knowledge through research

in diffusing it through education

in applying it through innovation

To be a genuinely competitive in the knowledge economy, one must be better

Quantity and Paradigm ShiftQuantity and Paradigm Shift

• Modern Science makes increasing use of information and communication technologies

– new instruments for experimentation, observation, measurement are made available (link with physical infrastructures)

– new possibilities for research in all domains, to use and share ‘experimental data’ and link it with models, simulation, software and dissemination papers

• Volumes of scientific data produced or exchanged is growing very fast

Capturing Reality: scientific data becomes infrastructureCapturing Reality: scientific data becomes infrastructure

FP7/Capacities 2007:(15 Million €: Call 1 – closed May 2007)2007-1.2.1: Scientific Repositories

The Continuum– in time: (forever) expandability of repositories, curation and

preservation– between raw data to publications: linking data with computation

and dissemination tools– between different scientific domains: the use of data across

different disciplines of science– between research and education – role of research infrastructures

to link research and its dissemination through education
