EGI-InSPIRE Opening Plenary What will EGI be in 2020? I want a single and open European digital space, a digital European Research Area, where researchers can get leading-edge, ubiquitous and reliable services for networking and computing. And where they can get seamless and open access to resources and services. Neelie Kroes, ICRI, March 2012 EGI-InSPIRE Opening Plenary

EGI Strategy Discussions What are the strengths of our community? Where should our focus be for 2020? What can we offer to research communities? How do we relate to a digital European Research Area with 2.8M researchers? EGI Strategy Paper http://go.egi.eu/EGI2020 EGI-InSPIRE Opening Plenary
