Nordic e-Infrastructure Conference, Trondheim, Norway

Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration: Lessons, opportunities and future directions
The first Nordic e-Infrastructure conference marks the 10-year anniversary of Nordic collaboration in computing and storage services for science. The aim of the conference is to couple Nordic user communities with the skill base that exists within the national e-Infrastructure organisations to develop ideas and to elicit the opportunities for cost-efficient common solutions and joint e-Infrastructure services.
Some of the questions that will be addressed by the Nordic e-Infrastructure Conference are:
- Why do we need Nordic collaboration on e-infrastructures?
- Which areas are best suited for Nordic collaboration?
- Who are the major Nordic user communities, and what are their needs?
- How can we develop joint strategies for facing future challenges?
- How can we jointly increase awareness of the opportunities that e-infrastructures offer?
The programme is aiming to learn from past experiences, showcase the present activities and explore the future opportunities and emerging technologies. User-centric presentations spanning the range from natural sciences to social sciences and humanities will be complemented with more technology-oriented sessions on topics such as data services and cloud applications. The conference takes place 15 & 16 May, and will be preceded by workshops and training days 13 &14 May, aiming to accommodate the needs of both technical support personnel and Nordic user communities within topics like centre operations, security, data services, and science gateways
