The e-IRG Workshop, organised in the framework of the German EU Presidency, took place on 1.- 2. December 2020. The Workshop was implemented as three virtual sessions with the overall theme ofhow e-Infrastructures can support addressing societal challenges,including public health and climate change. Presentations ranged from institutional to national, EU and international levels, and from users to providers, and policy makers/funders perspectives. The presentations of the workshop were selected in order to reflect on the current developments in the e-Infrastructures domain, including the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), High Performance Computing (PRACE and EuroHPC) and networking, and how these are linked with some of the societal challenges in different thematic areas. The three main topics addressed were i)Research Data Infrastructures, as data is the common denominator both within e-Infrastructures and across e-Infrastructures and thematic infrastructures, ii)The support of e-Infrastructures to the digital transformation in the health sector, where the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated and amplified processes, and iii) one of the biggest challenges for mankind ahead, i.e. the climate change, and theimpact and benefits of e-Infrastructures in support of the EU Green deal policy,i.e. to become “climate neutral” by 2050 (without greenhouse gases). |
