1 La Call 'Virtual Research Environments' Giuseppe Andronico, Roberto Barbera

2 Dati preliminari e-Infrastructures for virtual research environments (VRE) Titolo della call Research and innovation actions Tipo di azione 42 M€ Budget 14/01/2015, 17:00 Brussels time Deadline

3 Specific Challenge VRE should: integrate resources across all layers of the e-infrastructure (networking, computing, data, software, user interfaces) foster cross-disciplinary data interoperability provide functions allowing data citation and promoting data sharing and trust. There is yet considerable potential and room for development in the use of virtual research environments (VRE).

4 Scope Over time VREs will be composed of: generic services delivered by e-infrastructures domain specific services co-developed and co-operated by: Researchers technology and e-infrastructure providers possibly commercial vendors. standardised building blocks and workflows Each VRE should abstract from the underlying e- infrastructures using: interoperable components. well documented interfaces, in particular regarding APIs

5 Scope

6 Where data are concerned, projects will define Semantics Ontologies the 'what' metadata the best computing models levels of abstraction (e.g. by means of open web services) to process the rich semantics at machine level (the so called 'how' metadata) as to ensure interoperability. They may also support proof of concept, prototyping and deployment of advanced data services and environments, and access to top-of-the-range connectivity and computing. VREs may target any area of science and technology, especially interdisciplinary ones, including ICT, mathematics, web science and social sciences and humanities. Focusing on the ICT infrastructures needed for addressing the Societal Challenges is especially encouraged.

7 Scope Proposals should indicate the number of researchers they target as potential users. This topic is complementary with topic INFRADEV-4- 2014/2015, as VREs integrate data, network and computing resources for interdisciplinary research communities, whereas INFRADEV-4-2014/2015 addresses interoperability of services and common solutions for cluster of ESFRI and other research infrastructure initiatives in thematic areas.

8 Scope The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of between EUR 2 and 8 million would allow this topic to be addressed appropriately. Quindi tra 21 e 6 proposte possibilmente approvate Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.

9 Expected impact VREs: are expected to result in more effective collaboration between researchers and higher efficiency and creativity in research as well as in higher productivity of researchers thanks to reliable and easy access to discovery, access and re-use of data. They will accelerate innovation in research via an integrated access to potentially unlimited digital research resources, tools and services across disciplines and user communities and enable researchers to process structured and qualitative data in virtual and/or ubiquitous workspaces. They will contribute to increased take-up of collaborative research and data sharing by new disciplines, research communities and institutions.
