e-IRG Mission
… to support on the political, advisory and monitoring level, the creation of a policy and administrative framework for the easy and cost-effective shared use of electronic resources in Europe (focusing on Grid-computing, data storage, and networking resources) across technological, administrative and national domains.
Drafted in Rome on 10 December 2003.

e-IRG Focus
Focus on high-level policy, and the information required to define policy rather than on technical detail.
Topics: e-infrastructures in FP7 policies for resource sharing a registry/repository for European resources coordination of new national and EU funding
programs better links and synergies between Europe and other
regions (e.g. USA, Japan) engaged in similar activities

e-IRG Delegates Meeting, London, 12/2005
e-IRG Recommendation:
“The e-IRG recognises that the current project-based financing model of grids (e.g., EGEE, DEISA) presents continuity and interoperability problems, and that new financing and governance models need to be explored – taking into account the role of national grid initiatives as recommended in the Luxembourg e-IRG meeting.”

e-IRG Delegates Meeting, London, 12/2005
e-IRG Recommendation:
“The e-IRG will establish a Task Force to take up this issue.”
“In order to facilitate international collaboration the e-IRG wishes to reaffirm the importance of the national e-infrastructure initiatives that aggregate on a national level relevant e-infrastructure activities.”

e-IRG TF Tasks
Develop a strategy to answer the following questions: What impacts do e-Infrastructures have on the research process
in general and on which areas in particular? What is needed in terms of policies and funding to be
sustainable over the long term? What can be done to increase the acceptance and convenience
of non-e-Infrastructure-enthusiasts? How to integrate industrial efforts and SMEs into sustainable e-
Infrastructures?
Once these questions are answered, and only then: How to achieve sustainability?
