6. How? Research Infrastructures Projects SMEs Long-tail
At their events: Project membership, external advisor, e-infra board
Competence Centres (for technical onboarding)
Watch RI websites! (RSS)
Projects
EGI events: Forums, Design your e-infrastructure workshop
NGI local events (I wish we had more…)
SMEs
EC events
Local outreach
Long-tail
National outreach, local consultancy
New EGI platform (

7. New! EGI Website EGI Service Brochure Services

8. Suggestions for an integrated approach
Continue with DI4R
Joint e-infra liaison (group?) towards large initiatives
ESFRI clusters, FETs, Large H2020 projects
Investigations and pro-active outreach
Shared event calendar
Harmonised materials ( harmonised service portfolios)
