10. Ausschreibung (FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2012-1)
Unterstützung für Politikentwicklung und Programmdurchführung
INFRA-2012-3.1: International cooperation with the USA on common data policies and standards relevant to global research infrastructures in the environment field
INFRA-2012-3.2: international cooperation with the USA on common e-infrastructure for scientific data
INFRA-2012-3.3: Coordination actions, conferences and studies supporting policy development, incl. international cooperation. for e-infrastructures
a)  Developing strategies and/or establishing coordination structures
• to support the European exa-scale computing research community in international efforts on the development of future extreme-performance computing systems
• for extremely large or highly distributed and heterogeneous scientific databases (including service architectures, applications and standardisation) in order to manage the upcoming data deluge
• actions aiming at coordination between e-infrastructure operators
(b) Feasibility and conceptual design studies for e-Infrastructures that would be deployed in the 2014-20 timeframe in areas such as: comprehensive data infrastructures including trust and authentication, accreditation of data repositories, authorisation and accounting (AAA) aspects; cloud infrastructures based on PPP's; infrastructures supporting simulation and prototyping services to industry, including SMEs; and software infrastructures including aspects such as software certification. Stakeholder consultations may be foreseen where appropriate
(c) Studies and actions, e.g. to
• analyse and promote trust building towards open scientific data e-infrastructures covering organisational, operational, legal and technological aspects, including authentication, authorisation and accounting (AAA) as well as licensing and tools.
• promote future interoperability (technical, semantic, reference architecture, etc) in the scientific data domain. Activities should include the promotion, monitoring the development and adoption of common standards.
• analyse and evaluate possible business models for supporting Open Science in view of achieving financial sustainability.
• promote the development of standards and interoperability in the area of grids and clouds and the creation of frameworks useful for procurement of computing services suitable for e-Science. These activities could include promotion, development monitoring and adoption of common standards, and should involve relevant actors like e.g. standard organisations and procurers.
(d) Dissemination of results and success stories of European e-Infrastructure projects to a wider audience. Coordination and community-building to engage citizen-scientists with the e-Science activities and exploit the e-Infrastructures.
(e) Actions towards developing education-related e-Infrastructures, in particular linking scientific repositories and research data infrastructures to learning resources for development of skills and curricula for information and data scientists, and online platforms for supporting student exchanges (e.g. Erasmus).
(f) International cooperation in e-Infrastructures, including:
• supporting the identification and synergy between projects related to ICT infrastructures and e-Infrastructures-based research, funded by international development aid agencies in one or more developing regions, 
• promoting the identification, development, integration and exploitation of e-Infrastructures of common interest to Europe and to developing regions, (e.g., connectivity with Latin America)
• contribution to efforts in international organisations and fora for the coordination and interoperability of e-Infrastructures for global research communities.
