Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Santiago – September 2006 Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Widespread an effective exploitation and development of e-infrastructure internationally, adding value to industry, research….and society. Why BELIEF Outcome

Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Santiago – September 2006 Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Create a Natural reference point and a platform for communication and knowledge sharing for e-infrastructure users and providers. Why BELIEF Aim

Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Santiago – September 2006 Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers  An Online Digital Library with search and contact facilities;  An Offline set of activities aiming:  brainstorming to develop ideas;  networking and conferences to create collaborations;  publications to disseminate knowledge on e–infrastructures focusing their trends and implications. Why BELIEF Method

Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Santiago – September 2006 BELIEF: to expand frontiers creating  Synergies and knowledge exchange between the research infrastructure competencies of Europe;  Collaborations between Europe’s e-infrastructure and those in emerging economies, Latin America in particular, and India. Why BELIEF Expanding frontiers means also: new user communities; creating awareness of new possibilities that e-infrastructures opens up.

Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Santiago – September 2006 Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers  A Common communication and knowledge Platform for all e-infrastructure Communities;  A portal with access to a digital library of e- infrastructure documentation and facility to Search and Contact members;  Networking and Knowledge Exchange between members (communities from Research and Industry) as well as policy bodies in Europe and beyond. BELIEF Objectives Why BELIEF

Bringing Europe’s eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding frontiers Santiago – September 2006 BELIEF Events  2 International networking events with major potential user communities with focus on Industry;  2 International conferences in India and Brazil as a platform to exchange experiences, to show results and to learn about the development in emerging economies;  4 Brainstorming events on strategic multidisciplinary topics.
