The EIROforum Information Technology (IT) Working Group coordinates and 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 research-related IT.
The IT Working Group coordinates common aspects ranging from IT security to coordinating licensing policies. Finally, it identifies and quantifies those aspects of the IT infrastructure (such as high-speed international and global networks) that are critical and common underpinnings of EIROforum IT initiatives so as to formulate strategic priorities and directions for long-term developments that will affect the research opportunities of the EIROforum organisations on a global scale.
