BlueBRIDGE is organising the Virtual Research Environments for the Open Science Cloud workshop at the Digital Infrastructures for Research 2016 conference. The session takes place on Friday 30 September 2016 from 11:00 to 12:30 (Room 8C), at the ACC Cyfronet AGH, Kraków’s academic computing centre, in Krakow, Poland.
What this workshop is about?
In this session we’ll look at how innovative working environments can effectively support the daily work of researchers, industry (including SMEs) and international organisations and how the Virtual Research Environments can play a role in the European Open Science Cloud landscape envisaged by the recent April 2016 Communication released by the European Commission. The outcomes of the session will be summarised in a post event report including a set of recommendations for the different communities and end users and useful to shape the future Open Science Cloud Initiative.
Who should attend?
The session will provide valuable input for end-users (researchers, industry, international organisations), e-infrastructures and funding agencies and policy makers.
Why attend?
The audience will gain the opportunity to hear the opinions of some of the key players in the VRE sector with discussions based around:
- What are the existing approaches to deliver Virtual Research Environments and how VREs are supporting different stakeholders? (to get an understanding of what is the current VRE landscape)
- How to ensure that data can be used as widely as possible, across scientific disciplines, between the public and the private sector? (as envisaged by the European Open Science Cloud)
- How the current VREs are contributing to interconnect the new and existing data infrastructures across Europe?
