e-IRG Workshop Session on Coodination between e-Infrastructures

Representatives from various e-Infrastructure-related organizations recently convened at a coordination meeting facilitated by the e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG). The meeting aimed to discuss strategies for enhancing coordination among EU e-Infrastructures, focusing on the benefits for researchers in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and beyond. One of the main points discussed during the meeting was the participation of e-Infrastructure-related organizations at e-IRG meetings. It was suggested, that one observer from e-Infrastructures would be designated as a rotating representative, changing with each EU Presidency, as well as openly included in e-IRG Cafés, fostering continuous engagement and knowledge sharing. Additionally, another observer from EOSC-A, representing the community, would be included to ensure comprehensive representation. Secondly, following the recommendations outlined in the e-IRG White Paper 2022, a lightweight e-Infrastructure assembly, which serves as a coordination mechanism for e-Infrastructures, could be set up. Finally, discussions on the “Future of e-Infrastructures” and the “Coordination” topic will be continued at the upcoming e-IRG Workshop under the Swedish EU Presidency.
