e-IRG is a policy advisory body composed of national delegates with the aim to facilitate integration in the area of European e-Infrastructures and connected services, within and between Member States, at the European level and globally. e-IRG is overlooking the whole e-Infrastructure spectrum, from networking and computing to data and other services (such as middleware, software and related...

The EOSC Steering Board expert group (E03756) assists the strategic coordination between the Commission and EU Member States and countries associated (AC) to the Horizon Europe framework programme on questions relating to the implementation of Union legislation, programmes and policies related to Open Science and EOSC. The ambition is to foster the convergence of European and national open...

As introduced in the previous talks from EOSC SB and e-IRG members, there have been some main points identified:
· Gaps in the policy landscape for e-Infrastructures relevant to EOSC (see e-IRG talk), such as the inherent focus of EOSC on data (and less on e-Infrastructures), the lack of methodologies and processes for identification of underlying costs, etc.
· Aspects to consider from the...

We too often tend to think that Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) would have as little environmental impact as they seem virtual. However, the reality is here:
At European level alone, ICTs are responsible each year for 40% of the EU's Green House Gas (GHG) budget to stay below 1.5°C of global warming.
Similarly, at the European level, ICT spends 40% of Europe's sustainable...

After a short introduction to EDF’s activities and the group's commitment to energy transition, an inventory of EDF's infrastructures and areas of use for HPC are presented. Then, the impacts of energy transition on the infrastructures, the home-made codes and the studies that are carried out are addressed. Finally, the options to make users aware of the energy sobriety of the simulations and...

The European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) identified several cross-cutting activities that should be reinforced within the energy sector, being digitalisation a paramount one as it is changing the way in which research and innovation is being carried out. As a result, the transversal Joint Programme ‘Digitalisation for Energy’ was launched as a transversal activity pilot in Fall 2020 and...

How will the impact of severe weather and climate change affect your country or your region and how will you manage the risks of environmental extremes?

To address the need for enhanced prediction capabilities, the European Union has set in motion Destination Earth (DestinE), a visionary initiative to create Digital Twins of the Earth system supporting climate change adaptation policies...

Discussion on the first part of the session and interaction with the audience

One of the main goals of the euroCRIS member association is to promote system interoperability and information exchange across institutional, regional, national, funder and international research information systems in order to allow this info to be aggregated and comprehensively analysed. The CERIF standard (Common European Research Information Format), endorsed by the EC, is the main tool to...
