The e-IRG publishes regularly White Papers, each adding more focus and detail on how to make a healthy European e-Infrastructure come true. A White Paper provides the e-IRG vision on current important policy topics and directions in e-Infrastructures. It also provides recommendations.
e-IRG White Paper 2014
e-IRG initiated the White Paper 2014 as a document that provides advice, best practices and recommendations to the proposers for the next ESFRI Roadmap on questions related to e-Infrastructure needs. When working with the document, e-IRG has recognised that the document is not fully in line with the well-established e-IRG White Paper series of visionary documents. Also, e-IRG recognised that a new series of Guideline Documents is needed, and has therefore decided to rename the White Paper 2014 to "e-IRG Guidelines Document - Best practices for the use of e-Infrastructures by large-scale research infrastructures".
