Technology Transfer at ELI-ERIC / ELITRANS Aleš Hála 15 November 2017

ELI Pan-European project ELI will be the world’s first truly international laser research infrastructure, pursuing unique science and research applications for users ELI will be implemented as a distributed research infrastructure based initially on 3 specialised and complementary facilities located in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania ELI is the first ESFRI project to be fully implemented in EU 13 Member States ELI is pioneering a novel funding model combining the use of structural funds (ERDF) for the implementation and contributions to an ERIC for operation Investment of 850 mil. EUR from ERDF in CZ, HU and RO

ELITRANS ELITRANS mission The main objectives of ELITRANS Enabling ELI’s transformation from European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funding towards European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) distributed research infrastructure model The main objectives of ELITRANS Conceptual Design of the future ELI-ERIC “Business Model”: essential elements of the future ELI ERIC organization, financing, governance and international integration Preparing ELI ERIC’s “Business Plan”: development of concepts adapted to the operation as the world’s first international laser user facility Managing the transition from Structural Funds supported implementation towards the ERIC funded operation: merging the three facilities into one unified internal structure, developing a corporate identity, strengthening user relations, developing the scientific profile, international visibility and leadership

Beneficiaries & Linked Third Parties The mission of the PRACE Research Infrastructure (RI) (www.prace-ri.eu) is to enable high-impact European scientific discovery and engineering research and development across all disciplines to enhance European competitiveness for the benefit of society. The PRACE RI seeks to realize this mission through the provision of access to world class high performance computing, data management, resources and services open to all European researchers through a peer review process. Through the broad participation of European governments and their representative organizations, a diversity of resources can be provided by the PRACE RI, including expertise throughout Europe in effectively usage of the available resources. PRACE has an extensive pan-European education and training effort devoted to help users as well as preparing the next generation of scientists and engineers. The PRACE RI is established as an international non-profit association with seat in Brussels and is named ‘Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe AISBL’. It has 25 member countries whose representative organizations are creating a pan-European supercomputing infrastructure, delivering world-class services to the European research community with large-scale computing and storage resource, support and training needs. KIT The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) https://www.kit.edu/english/ was established by the merging of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH and the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) on October 01, 2009. KIT combines the tasks of a university of the state of Baden-Württemberg with those of a research center of the Helmholtz Association in the areas of research, teaching, and innovation in one mission: KIT – The Research University in the Helmholtz Association. In research and education, KIT assumes responsibility for contributing to the sustainable solution of the grand challenges that face the society, industry, and the environment with a focus on energy, mobility and information. With a staff of about 9300 employees and 25,000 students, KIT is one of the big institutions of research and higher education in natural sciences and engineering in Europe. The Steinbuch Centre for Computing (SCC) is the computing centre of KIT and supports the IT-demands of the multi-disciplinary research at KIT and the Helmholtz-Association of German research centres. R&D at SCC focuses on computational science and engineering, data life cycle management of scientific data, IT management and federated identity management. It operates HPC systems and GridKa, one of twelve Tier-1 centres worldwide being responsible for the storage and analysis of a significant part of data from the LHC experiments at CERN. More recently SCC constructed the Large Scale Data Facility (LSDF), a facility which is close to innovation and the development of future concepts for storage, archival and analysis of scientific data. SCC successfully participated in many EU projects and currently contributes to AARC, EUDAT2020, INDIGO DataCloud and Human Brain Project (HBP). EGI The European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) https://www.egi.eu/ provides integrated computing services to European researchers, driving innovation and enabling new solutions to answer the big questions of tomorrow. EGI is a federation of resource providers set up to deliver sustainable, integrated and secure computing services to European researchers and their international partners. The federation is coordinated by the EGI Foundation, a non-for-profit organisation established in 2010 in Amsterdam to manage EGI on behalf of its participants: National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) and European Intergovernmental Research Organisations (EIROs).
