Expert Group Report: Next Generation Grid(s) European Grids Research 2005-2010

  • Long term visions that cannot be realised based
  • n existing or near term Grid technologies
  • Areas of research that need to be addressed in

the medium to long term Implementing the visions will enable Europe to become a strong competitive player in Grid technology and its applications.

European research policy context

  • European Research Area (Lisbon Summit, March 2000)

IST-FP6 to boost the emergence of ERA! Grids: a main strategic objective!

  • R&D investments from 1.9% up to 3% of GDP by

2010 (Barcelona Council, March 2002)

slide-15
SLIDE 15

UK/FR Grid Workshop 3-4 November 2003, London Wolfgang Boch - European Commission - DG INFSO-F2

Investment in R&D, 3% action plan (DG RTD)

  • Council resolution adopted on 22/09/2003
  • Making Europe a more attractive place for R&D investment requires a

determined and sustained efforts of public and private sectors…

  • Improving framework conditions for private investment in research

– IPRs, Regulation of products and standardisation, Competition rules, Financial markets, Fiscal environment, Corporate research strategy & financial reporting

  • Progressing jointly

– OMC, ETP, mutual learning for regions...

  • Improving public support to research and innovation

– HR, link public /private R&D, enhance public financing instruments (direct measures, fiscal measures, guarantee…)

  • Redirecting public spending towards research and innovation

– Modernise State aid rules, Use better public procurement to support research and innovation...

European Research Area:

  • pportunities & challenges
  • Realising ERA requires …..

– Focusing on strategic research topics – Cooperation, concentration, critical mass & flexibility

  • FP6 provides a key opportunity to shape and improve

the impact of research in Europe

– Europe is well positioned to shape the future and compete – Coordination of public and private R&D funding

  • Efforts are needed .....

– to mobilise the constituency – to establish priorities within a long term vision

European Technology Platform for Grid Research

UK/FR Grid Workshop 3-4 November 2003, London Wolfgang Boch - European Commission - DG INFSO-F2

What is a European Technology Platform?

  • Strong mobilisation of actors fostering effective public-

private partnerships

– between research, industry and regulatory and finance stakeholders, public and private bodies – for sharing an European long-term vision on high impact sectors or leading technologies

  • Primary output

– European Strategic Research Agenda for the next decade(s) – Recommendations for its implementation (strategy & action plan)

  • Final goal

to achieve EU industrial leadership and meet society’s needs through optimisation of the benefits for all parties

  • ETP can lead to a new form of governance

US dominance in international fora

Europe contributes to Global Grid Forum, but influences/capitalises disproportionally Contributions of the European Grid community to other fora as well important: W3C, OMG, ...

European strengths:

application of Grid technologies research competences:

semantics, agents, architectures,

  • perating systems, databases, …

European weaknesses:

An ERA Pilot/ETP for Grid Research Objectives and Benefits

  • Overcome fragmentation and dispersion across EU

to reinforce impact of national and Community research

– Facilitate stronger co-operation between MSs and Community activities – Support the MSs in developing shared visions / common planning / joint programmes – Provide assistance for the co-ordination of future research initiatives – Identify topics of mutual interest for Community and National Level

  • Strengthen Europe’s position on Grid Research and its

exploitation

– Pooling of expertise and creation of critical mass – Focussing and co-ordinating national priorities in European / world-wide context

Conclusions from the ERA meeting July 2003

Endorsement of need for further action

  • Inventory of national and EU initiatives including analysis of strength,

weaknesses, gaps and synergies on EU-scale

  • Establishment of a regular forum on Grid Research of European

funding bodies and research leaders

  • Better co-ordination of fragmented national and EU efforts by putting

them in EU context towards achieving critical mass / higher impact on international level

  • Further investigation on how to best stimulate the development and

delivery of production-level / industrial-strength Grid MW

  • Actions towards broadening the use of Grid beyond eScience

towards its use in business and industry

Internet of tomorrow as the Web did for the Internet of today

  • The shift of Grids from e-Science to industry will in future

reap the benefits for European business, industry & society

  • Grid Research represents a Strategic Objective of IST-FP6
  • Need for stronger co-ordination of existing Community,

Member States and international activities on Grid research

– to overcome fragmentation and reinforce impact – to strengthen Europe’s position in Grid Research and its exploitation
