6479 km of fiber infrastructure in Poland2359 km of fibers in Europe (IRU)8838 km of fibers in total

Integration with European infrastructures

• ESFRI

– Significant parts of European Research Infrastructures (RI) located inPoland

• Polish RI roadmap

– 53 proposals in 2014 , incl. 25 related with European initiatives and ESFRI projects

Integration with European infrastructures (cont.)

• Data infrastructure– EUDAT – European Data Infrastructure– openAIRE

• HPC - PRACE initiative• European Grid Initiative (EGI)• GEANT (GN4)• Integrated and joined initiatives from EUDAT2020-INDIGO-EGI

– Common open cloud for data and computing• Interdisciplinary joint initiatives with high chances for sustainability, e.g.

– LOFAR, EVN,– CLARIN, – ELIXIR, ASPERA,– EuroFUSION

Data flow

Legend:

FBC: Portal and API with 4,4 mln

metadata records from 131 data sources,

of which 3,4 mln in open access, with

links to digital files – humanities research

data

In the future: integrated with

EOSC to provide access to

humanites research data and

make it interoperable with

(coming) humanities VREs

running in EOSC

Economic support on national level

• Agreements signed on governmental level, e.g. CERN

• New legal European institutes

– ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) – participationvia national representatives,

• PRACE AISBL

• EUDAT CDI

• POLFAR/LOFAR

• Financial support for international co-operation: RI, e-Infrastructures and further ESFRI landmarks

• Structural funds in Poland (2016-2020)

Open Access vs. Federation

• Secure and Trusted environment for open data access

– eduGain and Pionier.Id in Poland

• Open acess to resources, data and services

– Eduroam – for network connections

• Full support for getting access to EOSC for academia, industry and administration

Conclusions

• The outcomes of the EOSC definition should be discussed in a wider group of experts incl. all member countries

• Consultation meetings are necessary on-site with scientific communitiesand end users

– Organised locally in member countries

– Wider dissemination process

• Integration of RI on pan-European size is highly appreciated and supported

- OPEX and CAPEX expenditures should be point of further discusionsbetween EC and member countries

Conclusions (cont.)

• Further analysis of open data and data access (technology – common platforms, interfaces, legal aspects, governance and financial aspecs) is necessary

– best practices

– Exchange of information

• The EOSC initiative should also support the education process in schools and universities

• The financial model of EOSC is not defined yet

– A general and open data access for Europe should generate an impact of costs on EC site

• The open consultation process with key stakeholders and the EC is insufficient

– European e-Infrastructure

– ESFRI projects and landmarks

– Big national infrastructures
