EUDAT
Cineca is member of EUDAT an European project, co-funded within the 7th Framework Programme. That will deliver a Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI) with the capacity and capability for meeting future researchers’ needs in a sustainable way.
EUDAT is an European project, co-funded within the 7th Framework Programme. It includes funding agencies that invest in research infrastructures and programmes of research, infrastructure operators and research communities who rely on the availability of data-management services, national data centres and providers of connectivity and, of course, the users who rely on the availability of data and services, innovators who add value to the raw results of scientific research.
CINECA is the fourth partner, among 25, in terms of planned effort and it is involved in the main technical work packages. In particular it leads the activities related to technology appraisal and service provisioning.
Cineca, with the INGV, represent EPOS community.
EUDAT is a three-year project that will deliver a Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI) with the capacity and capability for meeting future researchers’ needs in a sustainable way. Its design will reflect a comprehensive picture of the data service requirements of the research communities in Europe and beyond. This will become increasingly important over the next decade as we face the challenges of massive expansion in the volume of data being generated and preserved (the so-called ‘data tsunami’) and in the complexity of that data and the systems required to provide access to it.
The EUDAT consortium includes representatives from each stage of the value chain that has evolved to deliver scientific knowledge to researchers, citizens, industry and society as a whole. It comprises 25 European partners, including data centers, technology providers, and research communities and funding agencies from 13 countries.
