Workshop on e-Infrastructures

The e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG) consists of official delegates from more than 30 European countries, nominated by their ministries. Its main objective is to support - on a political, advisory and monitoring level - the creation of a policy and administrative framework for enabling easy and cost-effective shared use of distributed electronic resources across Europe and beyond, focusing particularly on grid computing, data storage, and networking resources across technological, administrative and national domains.

An open workshop organised by the eInfrastructure Reflection Group was held in Linz, Austria, on 10-11 April 2006. The workshop began with a plenary session consisting of a series of presentations on important topics, intended to inform the public about the current status of the work within e-IRG. A following session then discussed the futures of e-Infrastructures, and included a public presentation of the eIRG Task Force on Sustainable e-Infrastructures. The second day was split up into 5 parallel sessions on 10 important topics. The results of these provided input for the e-IRG White Paper 2006.
