The First EELA-2 Conference is meant to be both an “open conference” and a “user forum” and its Scientific Programme is conceived to reach two main objectives:
- Present a selection of the most impressive results obtained by scientific communities using not only EELA-2 but also other e-Infrastructures in Latin America and the rest of the world;
- Discuss policies and plans for the long term sustainability of Regional e-Infrastructures, with special emphasis on the Latin American one.
