1. WP2 – Engagement and Dissemination HN Annual Review 1

2. WP Objectives The purpose of WP2 is to communicate that HELIX NEBULA – the Science Cloud - is the beginning of a new infrastructure being built in Europe through Public/Private Partnership and the benefits that will bring. Specific goals Present policy-makers, funding agencies and infrastructure operators with an effective alternative to capital-intensive investment in e-infrastructures Encourage scientists to see this "Science Cloud" as their first choice of working environment by demonstrating that concerns about putting research data and software ‘on the cloud’ are being addressed sensibly Mobilise the supplier community (especially telecoms providers, the IT industry and innovative SMEs) to participate and benefit from the public/private partnership Ensure that publicity about HELIX NEBULA is positive and focuses on the efficiencies it brings to the research communities and the societal benefits that can result. 2
