Working Groups
IT
The development and deployment of information technologies is a critical component of the infrastructure necessary to support 21st century scientific research in Europe.
The EIROforum IT Working Group contributes to the initiation and development of IT projects within and across the EIROforum member organisations. It also contributes to the pan-EU development of IT via the formulation of the EIROforum position on grid-related aspects of the Framework Programme. Finally, it identifies and quantifies those aspects of the IT infrastructure (such as high-speed international and global networks) which are critical and common underpinnings of EIROforum IT initiatives so as to formulate strategic priorities and directions for long-term developments that will effect the research opportunities of the EIROforum organisations on a global scale.
