The next
e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG) workshop and delegates meeting will be held in Paris on 21st and 22nd October, 2008.
The e-IRG is an inter-governmental policy body comprising national delegates from more than 30 European countries. The main objective of the e-Infrastructure initiative is to support the creation of a political, technological and administrative framework for an easy and cost-effective shared use of distributed electronic resources across Europe. Particular attention is directed towards grid computing, storage, and networking.
The previous, 14th e-IRG meeting, held in Lugano, Switzerland established the Education and Training Task Force (ETTF) report that proposed strategic actions to establish, promote and resource the Grid and e-Science curricula in Europe.
The Lugano meeting also reformulated the e-IRG vision and mission statements.
At the Paris meeting, members hope to similarly further consensus on policies, in order to provide relevant recommendations on the shared use of electronic resources in Europe.
