DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Norbert Meyer (PSNC)\, Stefan Hanslik (BMBWF)\n\nNot
 e: The venue location and detailed logistics are at the bottom of this pag
 e! Registration is now open. The e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG
 ) organises two open workshops every year\, each under the auspices of the
  corresponding presidency of the EU Council. The Polish EU Presidency e-IR
 G Workshop is organised as a hybrid event hosted by PSNC\, and will bring 
 together e-Infrastructure stakeholders in Poznan\, Poland\, as well as onl
 ine and worldwide. The event's overarching theme is "e-Infrastructure act
 ivities in the new European Research Area (ERA)"\, with its opportunities 
 and challenges including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity. I
 t is reminded that Research Infrastructures\, including e-Infrastructures 
 (referred to also as eRIs or digital infrastructures)\, as well as EOSC\, 
 are considered as "ERA structural policies"\, i.e. long-term policies that
  are well integrated with national and EU policies.   A set of sub-topic
 s was developed by the Programme Committee\, composed of e-IRG delegations
  and e-Infrastructure Assembly members\, namely: Artificial Intelligence 
 in Research and Science\, in particular\, the role of e-Infrastructures in
  AI\, including the recently awarded AI factories by EuroHPC. The EU and 
 the Member States/Associated Countries are heavily investing in national a
 nd European e-Infrastructures\, including High-Performance Computing and A
 I-facilities. These investments support cutting-edge research and science\
 , reinforcing Europe’s role in global Research Infrastructures. Maintain
 ing the financial\, operational\, and environmental sustainability of such
  Research Infrastructures is crucial. This includes investments in energy-
 efficient infrastructures\, ongoing modernisation of systems\, and ensurin
 g long-term viability. A new key initiative in this area is the EU Competi
 tiveness Compass\, and a set of related Acts and initiatives\, which will 
 be presented and discussed.Under this topic developments at EU and nationa
 l levels will be reviewed\, both success stories (e.g. good practices) and
  also challenges faced\, and how these were overcome or not.Cybersecurity 
 for society and in particular for Research and Science including Research 
 Infrastructures.Security\, in all its dimensions\, including Information\,
  i.e. Cybersecurity\, is one of the Polish EU Presidency's priorities. Hor
 izon Europe is divided into pillars\, one of which is Excellent Science\, 
 where Research Infrastructures are funded\, and another one is Global Chal
 lenges\, where Civil Security for Society is one of the clusters. Cybersec
 urity measures are encompassed in this area\, and funding for cybersecurit
 y research is run by the EC European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC
 ). Furthermore\, the NIS-2 directive establishes a unified legal framework
  to increase cybersecurity in critical sectors across the EU. "It calls on
  Member States to define national cybersecurity strategies and collaborate
  with the EU for cross-border reaction and enforcement". The updates on Cy
 bersecurity and NIS-2 will be discussed during the workshop.Under this top
 ic developments at EU and national levels will be reviewed\, both success 
 stories (e.g. good practices) and also challenges faced\, and how these we
 re overcome or not. EU Data Spaces and EOSC: Preparation for a broader in
 teroperable data ecosystem.Common European Data Spaces will make more data
  across different thematic fields available for access and reuse in a trus
 tworthy\, interoperable and secure environment\, building the single marke
 t for data\, for the benefit not only of researchers\, but mainly of EU bu
 sinesses and citizens. The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC)\, which is t
 he Data Space for Research and Science\, is progressing\, enrolling a set 
 of nodes\, starting from the EU node\, to build up the EOSC federation. Th
 e session will discuss the developments of the EU Data Spaces\, and in par
 ticular the work towards an interoperable data ecosystem. News from the re
 cent EU Data Spaces Symposium will also be reported. Under this topic dev
 elopments at the EU level across several EU Data Spaces will be reported\,
  focusing on interoperability and the link with EOSC and Open Science\, wh
 ich is another structural policy of the next ERA Policy Agenda (2025-2027)
  besides Research Infrastructures.Tuesday 24 June 2025\, 14:00-18:00Sessio
