Support to policies and international cooperation for e-infrastructures

Proposals will address part (a) or (b), but not both:

(a) Research and Innovation Actions for International Co-operation on high-end e-infrastructure requirements

Together with other countries in the world, European Member States are leading partners in the construction of the forthcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope. SKA will generate huge amounts of data and a significant part will be made available online. Efficient processing and computation of the large volume of data are significant challenges and global co-operation is essential. SKA has the potential to drive innovation in query and knowledge creation on large databases, high performance computing, and communications and networking technologies.

(b) Coordination and Support actions for international co-operation and policy development

Proposals will address only one of the points below. At least one proposal for each point will be selected:

1. 1. International Co-operation on e-infrastructure supporting major societal challenges
2. 2. Policy support to e-infrastructure programme
