5. Overall Objectives The Helix Nebula project is a preliminary step towards a European cloud- based scientific e-infrastructure 1. A platform capable of development through PPP into a scalable science cloud 2. A flexible governance structure capable of growing alongside the infrastructure itself 3. Representations of functional and non‐functional requirements including policies for trust, security and privacy 4. Agreements regarding inter‐operability with other, existing, e‐infrastructures 5. Three flagships based at CERN, EMBL and ESA (represented by CNR), selected as ‘stretch’ targets highlighting extreme cases of the requirements of the ERA and space agencies 6. Sustainable business models adhering to and supporting European‐level policies 7. A roadmap and development plan for addressing issues on the road to 2020 503/July/2013Helix Nebula review- Bob Jones - CERN
