Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers

Create a Natural reference point and a platform for communication and knowledge sharing for e-infrastructure users and providers.

Why BELIEF

Aim

Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers

An Online Digital Library with search and contact facilities;

An Offline set of activities aiming: brainstorming to develop ideas; networking and conferences to create

collaborations; publications to disseminate knowledge on

e–infrastructures focusing their trends and implications.

Why BELIEFMethod

Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers

BELIEF: to expand frontiers creatingSynergies and knowledge exchange between the

research infrastructure competencies of Europe; Collaborations between Europe’s e-infrastructure

and those in emerging economies, Latin America in particular, and India.

Why BELIEF

Expanding frontiers means also: new user communities; creating awareness of new possibilities that e-infrastructures opens up.

Santiago – September 2006

Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers

Collaboration for Scientific Repositories

Europe-wide, or even world-wide, content repositories that will serve as infrastructure for scientific (even daily life?) activities across the continent and world.

The idea

Content-provision services offered at a large scale by charting a roadmap to establishing large-scale Knowledge Infrastructures:

Technical - large scale knowledge infrastructures;Organisational – organizational model;User-oriented – quality and ‘service’.
