8. Information technology infrastructure of science Information technology infrastructure of science sector in Poland is relatively modern and has been recently constantly developed. There are very ambitious plans to modernize, develop and fund the e-Infrastructures, especially due to contribution of structural funds. Our strong assets are five high performance computing centres and 21 Metropolitan Area Networks constituting PIONIER national optical network, which provides access to worldwide Internet resources including digital libraries and links with domestic and foreign centres. A strong open grid services infrastructure has been developed. Information Processing Centre OPI, Warsaw

9. PIONIER topology (1) The network topology includes over 6000 km of its own optical fibres and will connect 21 optical academic metropolitan area networks. The DWDM technology, up to 32 lambdas, is used starting with 10 Gb/s Ethernet. The PIONIER Network offers data transmission of guaranteed quality of service, and virtual private networks enabling the usage of advanced applications and services. Backup links as well as 24h/7d monitoring of the Network Operation Centre ensure high reliability of the network. Information Processing Centre OPI, Warsaw

10. PIONIER topology (2) The PIONIER Network has optical international links to research and education networks such neighbouring countries as Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and Russia. For the benefits of the European co-operation it provides international connectivity to the pan-European network GÉANT through 10 Gb/s Ethernet and 10 Gb/s Packet, over Sonet direct connections between the PIONIER Network and GÉANT PoP in Poznan.

12. The Innovative Economy, 2007-2013  The Innovative Economy Operational Programme 2007-2013 (OP IE) is one of the instruments for implementation of the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) for years 2007-2013.  Within the OP IE support is provided for activities in the area of product (goods and services), process and organisational innovations in the production and service sectors.  8 priorities – OPI is an implementing institution within the first priority – „Research and development of new technologies” Information Processing Centre OPI, Warsaw

13. The Innovative Economy, 2007-2013 (2) The implementation of Innovation Economy Operation Programme, specially its priority Axis 2, allows for big investments in the science facilities. Improvement of infrastructure and laboratory equipment in national research centres of the highest research potential is a way to competitiveness of Polish research centres, higher level of research services provided by scientific entities for enterprises resulting in technology transfer.

14. Infrastructure and Environment, 2007-2013  Goal of the programme – improving investment significance of Poland and its regions (development of technical infrastructure together with preserving and improving the state of environment, health, keeping cultural identity and developing cohesive teritory)  13 substantial priorities – OPI is an institution which implements the XIII priority axis supporting projects aimed at developing and modernizing education and research infrastructure. Funds available under the program are intended to benefit institutions of higher education Information Processing Centre OPI, Warsaw

15. Polish-Norwegian Research Fund  The objective of the Polish-Norwegian Research Fund is to establish and strengthen the long-term co-operation between Polish and Norwegian researchers focusing primarily on the environmental and health research.  OPI, as the Fund Operator, is responsible for a process of Fund implementation, including: Call for proposal, projects’ selection, agreements’ signing, reimbursements and monitoring.
